And you don’t need a partner to travel frequently, even as a woman. She recoups the cost of her constant cruising through her channel and blog earnings. Here’s a blog post where Emma runs through more of her equipment. Visual content and a personal brand make merchandising more effective.
Free Things You Have to Try on MSC Cruises (Tried and Tested!)
In order to find the right cruise for you, we need to know where you live. The post details things like which companies host my website, my email provider, where I get stock video from and much more. In 2018 we ‘Braved the Shave’ for Macmillan and let the captian of the Marella Discovery shave my head on the theatre stage. We raised a little over £5000 for cancer support charities! I never imagined that my spare time hobby would turn into a ‘proper’ business, but it did.
Watch Out For This Secret Ingredient Lurking in Some Cruise Ship Sodas
Blog posts often have YouTube or TikTok videos embedded, while YouTube videos often link to blog posts. Today’s Deep Dive - How Emma Le Teace’s wildly successful cruise and travel content business works. Since then, Emma started regularly cruising with her family on different cruise lines.
Cruise Bookings
Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to sail all over the world on ships of all sizes. I bought my first Mia Tui bag in 2017 and I've not used another brand since. They are beautiful, almost indestructible and have so many pockets and useful parts. This blue map is in the background of all of my YouTube videos, I LOVE IT and it's a great conversation starter when people come round. I mentioned earlier about discovering the #1 cruising business model.
Emma Cruises-
On 2 June 2017, she published her first video titled ‘10 reasons to cruise at Christmas’. Even though Emma watched the videos of ‘CruiseTipsTV’ and ‘Tips For Travellers’ YouTube channels, she never intended to become a YouTuber. At 11, Emma along with her family took her first cruise.
Emma’s favourite cruise line is Viking Cruises, and she also likes Norwegian Cruise Line, Marella Cruises, MSC Cruises, Princess Cruises, Celebrity Cruises and Cunard Line. Emma films her videos with iPhone 14 and also uses a DJI Pocket 2 camera. As advertisers stopped cruising related ads, she lost most of her ad revenue on her website and YouTube channel.
He Paid $100K to Live on a Cruise Ship Without Having Cruised Before – Here’s Why (Interview)
This was the first time I told my work colleagues about my cruise hobby. In March 2021 I made the decision to leave my job in Data Development to throw myself full time into the cruise world. I started this website in 2016 and a YouTube channel a year later. The aim of both is to dispel common cruising misconceptions and to show potential cruisers that there is a cruise line to suit everybody.

Things You’re Agreeing to When You Book a Cruise Without Realising
This inspired her to quit her job which she wasn’t very passionate about and follow her passion of cruising and the content business that she created around it. As the cruise industry got closed down due to the lockdown, Emma wasn’t able to film videos of cabin tours and ship tours. Overnight Emma lost 95% of the traffic on her website and also the views of her YouTube channel dropped as at that time people weren’t interested about cruises.
Blogging and YouTube Tools
I’ve been interviewed for national TV as a ‘cruise expert’ (more information coming soon), consulted live on BBC radio and have been featured in a number of large newspapers and on travel websites. In 2023 we raised a little over £9000 for Mercy Ships by selling toy cat mascots of my cat Hudson. This was just the first version and we plan to make more going forward! In 2018 I was voted ‘Favourite cruise blogger’ at the Wave awards.
Apart from these, she also started earning money through advertisements on her YouTube videos, affiliate marketing and receiving donations through Patreon. Thanks to this family trip, Emma fell in love with cruising. She and her brother, parents, cousins, aunties, uncles and grandmother flew to onboard the Norwegian Spirit and cruised to Alaska and Hawaii. Never miss out on a video, a live stream or an important announcement again. Ever wondered how the mainstream cruise lines compare? I’m usually asked to speak about the rise in young people cruising and to talk about how the cruise industry is changing and adapting to the demands of consumers.
Remember - selling merchandise is easier with a YouTube and social media following. How to master cruising on a budget - an $89 digital course. That relatable, chatty approach to content builds trust. Emma’s knack for intriguing blog post titles probably comes from her experience with YouTube. ‘To Shake the Sleeping Self’ is the best book for travel inspiration.
I create cruise content across YouTube, this website and my social accounts, all with the aim of helping you to find, and take your perfect cruise. Emma Cruises books cruises for her audience through two separate travel agencies she’s partnered with. What started as a simple blog transformed into a multimedia content machine with 8 different revenue streams. So, she changed the direction of her content and started making videos of cruise news and informational videos targeting people who have never cruised before. 40,000 people receive my best cruise tips, insights and guides every week. Whenever you read Emma’s blog posts or watch her videos, it feels as though a friend is giving you recommendations.
I’m really excited to share my love of cruising with you and to help you plan your own trip. So take a look around my site and if you’re ready to book your own adventure, we’re here for you. Join me as I share my adventures cruising on oceans and rivers. From luxury yachts to HUGE mega-ships, budget inside cabins to suites, you’ll find it all here.
I usually focus on the budget end of the cruise market and aim to encourage others to try their first cruise. If you’re looking to explore the world by ship, you’ve come to the right place. I’m all about showing you how to get the most out of cruising without breaking the bank.
I’m 29 years old and I’ve been cruising since I was 11. My first cruise was to Alaska on the Norwegian Spirit, and I had so much fun in the kids clubs with my brother and cousins.
I took my first cruise when I was 11 and I’ve been hooked ever since. Yes she’s a millionaire but those who create epic blogs often become quite wealthy in a short space of time. Whatever the commission structure may be, the travel agencies are lucky to have access to Emma’s loyal audience. In order to generate revenue from traffic, you need trust with the audience. …Surprisingly, SocialBlade estimates that only 0.63% of the social traffic to the blog comes from Facebook (compared with 91% from YouTube). In addition to all the monetization methods mentioned before, Emma also earns from YouTube memberships, selling merchandise, receiving sponsorships and Cameo.
