Plus, why the actor thinks cruises are great for a stress-free vacation.
Morocco, where Bloom filmed two movies, is another one of those places.
It does feel like youre stepping back in time almost.

The architecture, the lights, the culture, the smells, the food …
I spent a lot of time there, so I kind of have an affinity for it.
Prague, in the Czech Republic, is another location Bloom enjoys, saying, Its an interesting culture.

The food is great, so is the beer.
He continued, Its like being in a history book.
Its like a very beautiful history book."

Some destinations Bloom visited were surprising at first, but became favorites.
The first time I went to Japan was surprising.
It felt like landing on another planet almost …
I was in my 20s, and it just felt like the future.
And I still love Japan.

And once he gets to a new place?
I love to walk through the landscape or the city or the location that Im in.
I feel like I absorb the feeling of it all.
If hes visiting a beach destination, he said, I love to swim straight away.
With this specific ship and this cruise line, you have European style and American sensibility blended really well.
And if he could take a cruise anywhere in the world, Iceland would be Blooms pick.
Luckily, the cruise line has several northern European itineraries with stops in some incredible Icelandic ports.
