- Emma Le Teace, known online as “Emma Cruises,” has been on 76 sailings at age 31.

- Here are her 9 tips for a great voyage, from how to avoid crowds to which cabins to book.
For Emma Le Teace, cruises aren’t just a vacation — they’re her livelihood.
She was 11 years old when she went on her first vacation at sea. Now 31, Le Teace said she’s been on 76 voyages at an average of about 10 a year — including the first sailing out of the UK after the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I just love getting on a ship, sorting out my stuff, and then waking up and being like, ‘Where am I today?’ or ‘What do I want to do today?'” Le Teace told Business Insider. “It’s so accessible compared to regular travel, which tires me out an awful lot now.”
She quit her data development desk job in 2021 to become a full-time cruise content creator and, as of this year, cofounder of personal voyage tracker The Cruise Globe.
The risk has paid off. UK-based Le Teace (or “Emma Cruises,” as social media knows her) has accumulated a legion of dedicated cruise comrades — to the tune of about 380,000 YouTube subscribers and 65,500 TikTok followers.
Her videos help travelers decide if a particular voyage might be a good fit for them — which means she has plenty of advice to share.
Here are nine of her top tips, from avoiding seasickness and crowds, to an Arctic cruise you might not have known about.
