Experiencing 16 ships and one virtual ship in less than a week at the ASTA River Cruise Expo was a lot to absorb! Now that I’ve had time to settle back in at home, and gone through my copious notes, here are a few of my favorites.

I don’t think you can visit Iceland without enjoying at least one geothermal spa. And the two names that keep popping up are Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon. After spending time at both, I can tell you they're not so much competitors as they are completely distinct experiences. They're built around different ideas of what a spa day should feel like.
