I Rented a Houseboat on New York's Erie Canal-Here's What It's Like to Captain Your Own Cruise

"Slow travel" is trending, and from my experience, there's nothing slower-or more relaxing-than canal cruising. And it's not just because the average speed is 6 mph.

They float along calmer, narrower channels, typically aboard small houseboats that only accommodate intimate groups.

"We wanted to go somewhere warm but still mountainous," says Ellis. "We love a beach vacation, but after a week, we're ready to move on. Chile gave us summer in February and the dramatic landscapes we crave."
