Let's determine each person's travel schedule and mode of transportation based on the information provided:

The person departing for New York is Victoria and Albert's closest friend, and they are both travelling in a hired van.

The person travelling by air, the person going to Miami, Fred, or Victoria are not in maths class with the one heading to Anchorage.

Sam is not flying to Boston, and neither is the guy who is taking the flight.

The individual moving to Miami plays on the maths team with Donna's instructor, Albert's sister.

Victoria and Donna won't be using a land route.

Both Albert and Fred have modes of transportation that are made up of two words that share the same initial few letters.

Let's solve the puzzle using these hints:

Albert and Victoria cannot be travelling to New York, according to Clue 1.

According to hint 2, the individual travelling to Anchorage cannot be flying or be headed for Miami.

According to clue 3, neither Sam nor the guy travelling by aeroplane are headed to Boston.

According to clue 4, the individual moving to Miami is on the maths team with Donna's tutoring partner, Albert's sister. So, Albert's sister won't be travelling to Miami.

Donna and Victoria cannot be travelling in a family car, recreational vehicle, or rental van based on clue 5 because they are not going via land.

According to clue 6, Fred and Albert have means of transportation.

Let's examine the ensuing choices:

Locations: New York, Boston, Miami, San Diego, Anchorage

Aeroplane, cruise ship, family automobile and recreational vehicle

We can infer from hint 1 that the friend of Albert and Victoria is travelling to New York in a hired van. Albert and Victoria are therefore unable to travel to New York.

According to clue 2, the individual heading to Anchorage is neither flying or travelling to Miami. Consequently, a traveller to Anchorage either takes a cruise ship or a recreational vehicle.

According to the third hint, the individual flying is not headed to Boston. Therefore, the traveller to Boston has three options: family automobile, recreational vehicle, or cruise ship.

According to clue 4, the individual moving to Miami is on the maths team with Donna's tutoring partner, Albert's sister. Consequently, Donna is not travelling to Miami whereas Albert's sister is.

Donna and Victoria are not travelling by land, according to clue 5. Donna and Victoria will therefore be travelling by cruise ship or aeroplane.

According to hint number 6, Albert and Fred both use words with the same first letters as their modes of transportation. The only choices Albert and Fred have are a family automobile and a cruise.

Last Resort:

Albert: Cruise cruise, San Diego

Donna: Recreational vehicle, Anchorage

Fred: Family vehicle, Boston

New York, Sam Miami, aeroplane: rented Victoria van

The person going to New York in a rented van is best friends with Albert and Victoria.
Since Albert and Victoria are best friends with the person going to New York, one of them must be going to New York. Let's assume Albert is going to New York in a rented van.
The person who is going to Anchorage is not in math class with the person traveling by airplane, the person going to Miami, nor with Fred or Victoria.
Since the person going to Anchorage is not with the person traveling by airplane, the person going to Miami, Fred, or Victoria, the remaining option for Anchorage is Sam.
The person planning to travel by airplane is not going to Boston; Sam is not going to Boston either.
Since Sam is going to Anchorage, the person traveling by airplane is not Sam. Therefore, the person going to Boston must be traveling by airplane.
The person going to Miami is on the math team with Albert's sister who tutored Donna.
Since the person going to Miami is on the math team with Albert's sister and tutors Donna, Donna must be going to Miami. This means that Victoria is going to San Diego.
Now let's summarize the information we have so far:

Albert: Going to New York, using a rented van.
Donna: Going to Miami, means of transportation unknown.
Fred: Destination and means of transportation unknown.
Sam: Going to Anchorage, means of transportation unknown.
Victoria: Going to San Diego, means of transportation unknown.
Donna and Victoria are not going to travel by land.
Since Donna and Victoria are not traveling by land, they must be using other means of transportation. Donna cannot be traveling by airplane because the person going to Boston is traveling by airplane. Therefore, Donna must be going on a cruise ship, and Victoria must be going by airplane.
Finally, let's assign the remaining means of transportation and destinations:

Albert: Going to New York, using a rented van.
Donna: Going to Miami, using a cruise ship.
Fred: Going to Boston, means of transportation unknown.
Sam: Going to Anchorage, means of transportation unknown.
Victoria: Going to San Diego, using an airplane.
Now we can determine the means of transportation for Fred and Sam through the process of elimination:

Fred: Going to Boston, using a recreational vehicle.
Sam: Going to Anchorage, using the family car.
The final assignments are as follows:

Albert: Going to New York, using a rented van.
Donna: Going to Miami, using a cruise ship.
Fred: Going to Boston, using a recreational vehicle.
Sam: Going to Anchorage, using the family car.
Victoria: Going to San Diego, using an airplane.
I hope this helps!
