How We Did a 20-Day Europe Trip for $2,000 CAD Per Person (Cruise + Flights Included)

Planning a transatlantic cruise to Europe doesn't have to break the bank. In this video, I walk through our early planning process for an April 2026 transatlantic cruise from New York City to Paris, including the tools I'm using to research pricing, track deals, and build a realistic travel budget. Our spring 2026 trip proved that affordable European travel is still possible. We completed a 20-day trip for just $4,000 CAD total for two people — including: ✅ Cruise fare ✅ Flights ✅ Local transportation ✅ Meals ✅ Hotels and travel expenses That's approximately $2,000 CAD per person for a 20-day European vacation.
