Coverage You Can Count On

When we talk about missed connections, we don’t mean an ill-fated romance. In our world, it means missing a connecting flight or missing your cruise ship departure. While we always advise staying on top of circumstances that you can control (like arriving at your cruise port at least a day in advance!), we also know that unexpected situations can arise. That’s why we recommend purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance policy. If your flight is delayed or canceled, a plan can help you get reimbursed for additional transportation costs to join your departed trip or reach your intended destination, and cover reasonable additional expenses such as meals and accommodations during the delay. Trust us, we’ve seen it all! Reach out and we’ll help you find the right plan for your next trip.

2026 SOLAR ECLIPSE SIGHTINGS

It’s been a busy time for solar activity, and the coming year is no exception. Look ahead to the solar eclipse that will take place on August 12, 2026, with full totality over the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal, and Spain. What will be your prime viewing position? Ask us about cruises that will put you directly in the path on that date — including Seabourn’s Spanish Gems & Solar Eclipse voyage, an Iceland to Greenland adventure with Quark Expeditions, and a Voyage of the Vikings cruise on Holland America Line, just to name a few.

MIAMI’S MUST-ATTEND ART FESTIVAL

Since 2002, Miami has emerged as a global art hub thanks to Art Basel Miami Beach — North America’s premier art fair and a highlight of Miami Art Week. Taking place December 5–7, 2025, this prestigious platform draws enthusiasts, collectors and creators from around the world. There’s no time to wait — reach out to us to reserve your hotel today.

FOLLOW THE FIELD OF LIGHT

Artist Bruce Munro is best known for his work “Field of Light,” crafted from thousands of illuminated stemmed spheres that create a carpet of gently shifting colors. This dazzling display has passed through locations around the U.S. and England, including a recent installation in New York City’s Freedom Plaza. The largest installation at Ulu-ru-Kata Tju-ta National Park, in Australia’s Northern Territory, has been upgraded and extended until 2027. Ask us how you can participate in “A Night at Field of Light,” starting with evening canapes with sacred Ulu-ru as your backdrop, and a three-course bush tucker meal as the 50,000 glass spheres illuminate under the dark skies. New to the experience is enhanced stargazing with telescopes, along with a refreshed menu and new table adornments.

ASK OUR EXPERTS

our experts share their insights into getting the most out of your travels.

Do you have advice on traveling solo?

Arranging solo travel is a big part of what we do! Not only is there an opportunity to create a wonderfully fulfilling vacation, but you can travel with confidence knowing that we’re in your corner.

Cruising gives you the freedom to move at your own pace, but you also have the option to join other travelers for mealtimes, activities and excursions if you wish. While many cruise lines will upcharge solo travelers for the cost of a cabin, some like Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean have actually created studio cabins that are designed and priced for one. Tauck has eliminated single supplement fees on all European river cruises in a select category. We can also track down limited-time promotions when the single supplement fee is greatly reduced or waived.

For tours on land, Brendan Vacations can provide room-sharing options to avoid extra costs. We can also create a fully customized itinerary around just you, including transportation and accommodations. Activities can be on your own or we can connect you with locals and other travelers who share your passion for experiences like wine tasting, cooking classes or historical tours.

If you prefer to be entirely solo, we can give you all the resources you need! From solo wellness retreats to crossing countries with a rail pass to road-tripping through Ireland, let us know your interests and we’ll plan the itinerary.

Reach out to us with any questions and we’ll be happy to help you get started.

Some other tips:

• Research any travel advisories in your destination, and consider registering your itinerary with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). This program will allow you to be in touch with the local U.S. embassy should an emergency arise.

• Leave a copy of your itinerary with friends and family, and set up check-in times.

• Consider purchasing travel insurance with emergency assistance. We can help you shop around for the right plan.

A trip to New Orleans wouldn’t be complete without authentic Creole and Cajun food, and the COURT OF TWO SISTERS restaurant is the perfect spot. Sit under a canopy of trees while you dig into everything from crabcakes to a crawfish and shrimp pasta.

The OGDEN MUSEUM OF SOUTHERN ART contains the biggest collection of Southern art in the world. With a varied assortment of paintings, photography, sculpture, and other handmade pieces, it tells both the historical and contemporary stories of the South.

We talk with our global network to bring you the latest developments, tips and insights.

Jane Kitchen

As editor at large at Spa Business and all-around wellness expert, Jane Kitchen stays on top of emerging trends and how travelers can benefit from the latest offerings.

Feel-Good

Travel

How have you seen the concept of wellness evolve during your time in the industry?

I’ve seen a massive shift from luxury spas that focused on pampering to a more holistic idea of well-being. Wellness is also increasingly a more social activity — from

saunas to retreats, people are looking to connect with others as part of their well-being journey.

How can travelers experience some of these wellness benefits?

Cruise ship travelers are now often wellness travelers. We’re seeing more vegan choices, healthy smoothies and mocktails. Offerings include mind-body activities, cryotherapy chambers and salt saunas, as well as wellness specialists and excursions that take into account both mental and physical wellness. For example, Cunard® has partnered with Harper’s Bazaar to offer Wellness at Sea programs and Crystal recently launched wellness retreats at sea.

Can you talk about pilgrimage travel and how one might benefit from that?

There is a record number of new and revitalized pilgrimage trails bringing in new generations to experience the most ancient, slow and spiritual form of travel. An interesting new offering is in Galicia,

Spain, where walking the area’s famous pilgrimage trails is combined with staying at the many thermal hotels in the region — a perfect match to soak in hot mineral water after walking all day.

Are there any tech innovations that you’d recommend?

I’m a big fan of cryotherapy — it can offer relief from pain, better energy and post-exercise recovery. There also seems to be a lot of good science around hyperbaric oxygen chambers, which are increasingly making their way into wellness destinations.

Do you have a favorite travel destination?

If I had to choose just one country, it would be Italy — it has it all with mountains, coasts, sunshine, culture, history, thermal springs, food, and amazing people. I also love Iceland for its otherworldliness and thermal bathing.

View majestic penguins and whales at home among mighty glaciers in Antarctica, witness the impressive moai statues on Easter Island, and experience impressive sunset views over Rio de Janeiro from a rooftop bar.

The 2026 Grand Australia and New Zealand Voyage carries you far into remote regions. Dive into the lush green landscapes and crystal-clear waters of the Hawaiian islands before you continue south to island-hop in Fiji and the South Pacific. You’ll have plenty of time to soak up the essence of Australia and New Zealand with two days in the Great Barrier Reef and four overnight stays between the two countries.

On each Grand Voyage, Holland America Line ships provide gracious service, superior amenities and captivating experiences. During leisurely days at sea, relax and indulge in shipboard activities.

Family Matters

Get to know destinations through the eyes of families, thanks to Trafalgar’s Be My Guest program.

Mindful travel means approaching new destinations as if you’re a guest in someone’s home, with an open heart and mind. With over 100 Be My Guest experiences worldwide, Trafalgar actually brings you into the homes — and wineries, farms and villages — for meaningful adventures.

Against a backdrop of rolling Tuscan vineyards and olive groves, enjoy a traditional Be My Guest lunch with the Landi family as you listen to stories passed down through eight generations. This included encounter is just one bright spot in a journey filled with memory -making moments, like getting a firsthand glimpse of Amsterdam’s floating flower market and witnessing the centuries -old craft of Venetian glassblowing.

The eruption of the Arenal Volcano, once thought to be a simple mountain, changed the lives of locals. Hear more about La Fortuna’s fascinating history with hosts Rodrigo, Ana Julia and other family members at their ranch. On other days of exploration, experience the canals, lagoons and lowland rainforest of Tortuguero National Park and the elevated paths of the wildlife-filled Manuel Antonio National Park.

Savor mint tea and freshly baked local bread with honey on the banks of the Nile as you listen to the El Boerey family share their stories about life in a typical Luxor village. Another highlight is a visit to the larger-than-life roofless Temple of Kom-Ombo, where you’ll be enriched with knowledge about the temple’s symmetrical design — built to honor Horus the Elder, the falcon god, and Sobek, the crocodile god.

180 DEGREES FROM ORDINARY

Windstar Cruises transforms the concept of cruising into a boutique sailing experience.

On Windstar Cruises, 180 degrees from ordinary means you have the time, space and freedom to engage with your journey in a way that isn’t possible on larger ships. Yachts that accommodate up to 350 guests feature spacious decks, elegant dining venues, and welcoming and genuine staff who greet you by name. Choose between Sailing Yachts or All Suite Yachts to further customize your voyage.

Full-day calls, late departures and overnight stays allow you to lean even further into relaxation and discovery, whether you’re sipping rum punch on the

beach in the Caribbean or watching spectacular sunset views from the harbor in St. John’s, Newfoundland. In the Mediterranean, explore new small ports and hidden harbors almost every day, many of which are inaccessible to larger ships. On Alaska voyages, you’ll zip away from your ship in a Zodiac to access hard-to-reach shores.

Onboard experiences are designed to be just as immersive as the places you explore. Expert chefs prepare delectable dishes using ingredients from local markets in the ports you visit, which you can enjoy al fresco

with a background of breathtaking views. Lectures from experts pair perfectly with onshore excursions, imparting insider knowledge of the destinations you visit. Meet the captain and spend time perusing navigational charts with the crew thanks to an Open Bridge policy, and launch from the Marina to kayak, paddleboard or swim directly from the ship.

Lap up the luxury of a yacht-like voyage, where every detail of your ship feels as if it was crafted just for you. With Explora Journeys, choose from a trio of ships where only 461 light-filled suites and penthouses become your home away from home for one lavish journey. As you cross the balmy Mediterranean Sea or sail the cerulean Caribbean

Sea, your days on board your ship are just as exhilarating as your time on land. Plunge into the Astern Pool & Bar on Deck 5, an infinity pool that seems to spill out into the wake that follows the nimble ship. On Deck 12, the adult only Helios Pool & Bar is both outdoors and heated, offering a soothing retreat surrounded by panoramic water views.

Astern Pool & Bar

The endless appeal of an infinity pool meets the exclusivity of a beach-like setting. On Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Viva and Norwegian Aqua, Infinity Beach’s infinity pools bear glass edges that seamlessly connect to the horizon. Stretch out on a lounge chair or daybed as the sun streams down and cool off in the smaller stream of water made for dipping your toes. A cocktail, some music and serene surroundings will complete your day of relaxation.

An oasis on Chill Island℠ on Deck 16, the pool is filled with 40,000 gallons of water — making it the largest pool at sea. Float around the in- water loungers with a cocktail in hand, or take in the views of the ocean or nearby shores from the elevated whirlpool. And speaking of Royal Caribbean, you don’t want to miss the exclusive Oasis Lagoon® at Perfect Day at CocoCay, where you can sip a cold Coco Loco as palm trees gently sway in the Bahamian breeze.

Go “hang out” over Dallas. The Joule pool isn’t just a rooftop oasis with relaxing sun loungers and private cabanas. It’s an 8-foot cantilevered pool that juts out over the edge of The Joule hotel, creating a thrilling perspective with 360 degrees of city views.

Park Hyatt Sydney — where the rooftop (open year-round!) comes with clear views of the Sydney Opera House as you backstroke in the lap pool or sip bubbly in the Jacuzzi while watching the sun set over the city.

The ripples of the infinity pool seem to flow right into the point where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. At Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico, the Beach Pool is the centerpiece of this already lavish sanctuary, and a swimup bar adds the perfect touch to a well-deserved escape. For a change of pace, head to a sea-facing enclave where the 5,000-square-foot Oasis Pool is brimming with amenities — including music flowing from underwater speakers and the first-ever lazy river in the region.

Iceland may be renowned for the Blue Lagoon (it’s only 20 minutes from the airport!), but farther afield even more natural wonders await. In western Iceland, Deildartunguhver is Europe’s most powerful hot spring, flowing at a rate of 50 gallons per second — and is too scalding to dip into but worth marveling over the intensity. Just a short walk away are the Krauma natural geothermal baths, where five hot baths are fed by Deildartunguhver amid stunning Icelandic surroundings. A cold bath, two saunas, an infrared cell, and a steam bath complete your holistic wellness experience.

Imagine slipping into a steaming hot natural spring with the northern lights dancing overhead. These healing waters and awe-inspiring surroundings can be found at Chena Hot Springs Resort near Fairbanks, Alaska. Staying steady at 106 degrees Fahrenheit — no matter what

the temperature is outside — the rock-lined geothermal springs are rich with silica, sodium and iron. Round out your soaking adventure with a plunge into an outdoor hot tub as mountain views loom before you and an indoor pool when you’re ready to retreat from the brisk air.

There’s beauty at every angle of Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa in Costa Rica’s northern region. Geothermal energy is activated by the nearby Arenal Volcano, forming flowing hot springs, cascading thermal waterfalls and serene river pools. Set among more than 900 acres of lush rainforest, pools of water range from 72 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Complete your hydrotherapy journey with a spa treatment in an open-air bungalow with the sounds of the rainforest surrounding you.

Choose from excursions that mirror your style of travel and return to a sophisticated ship where dining, lectures and entertainment reflect the spirit of each destination.

The journey you take is wholly about you and your passions. You can indulge in a Celebration of Music voyage that shifts the focus to Europe’s musical legacies — from a choir recital in or near Melk’s Benedictine abbey to an evening performance in Vienna.

3 WAYS TO

Roam among giants near the world’s most luxurious wilderness lodges.

As you trek across a grassy savanna, hike through a lush rainforest or wander through a wildflower-strewn sanctuary, every wildlife sighting strikes a chord in your heart. These moments put you astonishingly close to the natural world — and the journey continues when you arrive at your overnight accommodations. Embark on a transformative safari and enjoy special privileges within our exclusive Hotels & Resorts Collection.

Zebras, Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

IN THE LAND OF THE WILDEBEEST

Whether you arrive in time to witness the Great Migration in all of its intensity or during a quieter period where animals still rule the plains, your adventures in Tanzania overflow with surprises. Imagine the sound of nearly 2 million wildebeests on their journey, accompanied by herds of gazelles and zebras following their instincts toward Kenya’s Masai Mara. Herds gather in the southern Serengeti in January, the start of calving season, to graze on short grass. By April, they start migrating north,

reaching mating season in May, and face dire crossings over the crocodile-infested Grumeti and Mara rivers during the dry summer season. When the rain starts to fall in autumn, they make their way back down to the lush grasses of the southern Serengeti where the cycle begins all over again.

Meliá Serengeti Lodge puts you in the heart of Serengeti National Park, set on the Nyamuma Hills and overlooking the Mbalageti River Valley. Wander through

hidden paths to catch glimpses of wildlife and set out on a guided safari to see the Big Five roam around the savanna. From an oasis-like spa to a decadent bush dinner under the stars, luxury knows no bounds.

Our exclusives: Let us reserve your lagoon- or savanna-view room that includes daily breakfast, and we’ll also provide $50 in spa credit, a $50 credit for a walking safari and a welcome amenity.

WHERE THE JUNGLE MEETS THE SEA

The classic wildlife safari is reimagined in the coastlines and jungles of Costa Rica. Humpback whales call the Pacific Ocean home between July and October and again between December and March. Exclaim over plumes of water spouting from their blowholes and the sight of one breaching as if performing a pirouette in the sea. The booming sound of howler monkeys might stun you at first, but you’ll soon be peering

upward to spot these long-limbed primates swinging through the trees alongside white-faced capuchin and spider monkeys.

Experience nature in its most unfiltered form along with the luxuries of resort life in the Papagayo Peninsula, part of the Guanacaste province. You’ll have access to wildlife walks and coastal exploration at Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort,

Costa Rica, a true playground for all ages. Overlooking Culebra Bay, this eco-resort is woven into its natural surroundings — creating the perfect space to treat yourself in between wildlife excursions. Bathe in sunlight by the pools, go on a tasting journey of pure Latin American flavors and find better well-being in a spa that’s seamlessly connected to a tropical forest.

Our exclusives: We’ll provide you with daily breakfast at Rio Bhongo, $100 in resort credit and a welcome amenity. If you book two nights or longer in a participating suite or villa, you’ll receive an additional $100 in resort credit.

Set out on an adventure that will transform your views of what a safari can be. Beasts rove around the forests and glacial lakes of Grand Teton National Park, where mountains rise high into the horizon. This is considered one of the best wildlife-spotting parks in the U.S. for its expansive temperate ecosystem, creating a natural habitat for larger-than-life moose and bison, black bears, and enormous trumpeter swans — the largest waterfowl in North America.

Set your home base at Spring Creek Ranch, standing almost 1000 feet over the valley floor of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Surrounded by national parks and forests, this year-round destination is both a

cradle of luxury and a launching point for exhilarating adventures. Go on a guided wildlife safari in Grand Teton or Yellowstone national parks, or see nature from a rare perspective on a dawn or dusk excursion in the summer months. Once you return to your retreat, settle in by your wood-burning fireplace or soak in the outdoor saltwater hot tub enveloped by breathtaking views.

Our exclusives: All stays include daily breakfast, and we’ll give you even more value with $50 in spa credit and a welcome gift. Stay for three nights or longer and we’ll provide a complimentary Swedish massage.

Close to home or overseas, choose your wildlife safari and we’ll take care of all the details. When you reserve with us, you’ll have access to premier properties in our Hotels & Resorts Collection — featuring more than 1300 hotels, resorts, lodges, spas, and unique places to stay. Benefit from our exclusive privileges such as daily breakfast for two and a special amenity that varies by property as well as upgrades, early check-in and late checkout when available. Our Suite Privileges elevate your stay when you reserve two or more nights in participating suites.

GETTING TO KNOW SAMANTHA BROWN

What can guests expect when they join you on board Allura?

I’ll be hosting a welcome cocktail hour as well as a destinationthemed Chef’s Market Dinner in the Terrace Café. I’ll be on quite a few excursions and will be giving a talk in the theater, which will end with a Q&A as well as photos. I don’t plan on hiding in my stateroom, believe me! I’ll be out and about.

What are the new-to-you ports that you’re most looking forward to?

So many! The itinerary checks so many new destinations for me, which is why I am so excited. I’ve never been to Türkiye, so Bodrum and Antalya are eagerly anticipated. I’ve also always been fascinated by Pompeii, where they keep uncovering more artifacts from this advanced society. I’m certain it will change mine and my kids’ lives to see it.

What types of culinary shore excursions are you most drawn to?

Market tours all the way. I love being outside, walking around and feeling the energy of a local spot.

What are you most excited to experience on board a brand-new ship like Allura?

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of being one of the first guests to enjoy a ship. It forms a camaraderie on board and it’s a new beginning for all of us. I’m also excited to have afternoon tea with my daughter and date nights with my husband.

Do you have any favorite rituals when you arrive on a cruise ship?

I go for a long walk and check out all the big public areas. From this walk, I plan where my spot will be for a great sunset cocktail at night or a quiet corner to read a book. This way, I don’t miss a thing.

The imposing Cologne Cathedral is a Gothic masterpiece that towers over the Rhine. While pilgrims and culturally curious explorers have arrived here for centuries, it’s only a rare few who are invited to the top of the cathedral. Ride the same elevator as the restoration crew and venture onto the roof itself. If you’re feeling bold, climb the 104 -step spiral staircase for even more incredible views.

Make music the heart of your journey in Vienna. A Privileged Access visit takes you to the school where the Vienna Boys Choir resides, with a chance to meet choir members and listen to a private concert. On a different Privileged Access excursion, you can celebrate an enchanting evening of Mozart and Strauss performed by musical prodigy Alma Deutscher.

Watching over the Wachau Valley is Göttweig Abbey, where Benedictine monks live and work to this day. Admire the splendid baroque staircase and frescoed ceiling before arriving in the monastery’s kitchen. There, you’ll learn the art of crafting delicate marillenknödel, dumplings stuffed with sweet simmered apricots.

From the fairytale-like forest that surrounds Schloss Mespelbrunn to the 18th-century windmills of Kinderdijk, every excursion transports you into a fully immersive setting.

The world’s greatest shortcut. An engineering marvel. Named one of the 7 Cruise Wonders of the World by Condé Nast Traveler. There are plenty of ways to describe the Panama Canal but only one way to experience it from the most inspirational perspective — by ship. Sail aboard Princess as you cross from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in a matter of hours, with in-depth expertise and excursions complementing every voyage.

WHY CRUISING IS THE BEST WAY TO GO

Saving nearly 8000 miles of travel between New York and San Francisco, bypassing the notorious Cape Horn waters altogether, the Panama Canal cuts right through the Isthmus of Panama. The canal’s lock system is especially impressive, lifting cruise ships 85 feet high to the level of the canal and then back down to sea level. Your view from the deck is beyond exhilarating, a point of view that you couldn’t possibly experience in any other way.

MODERN HISTORY

Drawing on decades of experience and modern amenities, Princess is uniquely positioned to deliver an unforgettable experience. Princess was the first cruise line to transit the locks in 1967 and 50 years later was one of the first passenger ships to cross the newly expanded locks. Princess’ entire fleet, including their newest ships Sun Princess® and Star Princess,® are purposebuilt to sail through the Panama Canal.

VOICES FROM THE BRIDGE

Only with Princess will you be looking and listening with equal intensity as experts join you on board to provide live narration from the bridge. Learn fascinating tales from history, insights about how the Panama Canal was constructed and intriguing details about the engineering behind it all. (Fun fact: About 52 million gallons of water fill each lock of the canal.)

Island Princess,® Panama Canal, Panama

IN-DEPTH EXCURSIONS

The appeal of a Princess cruise goes beyond transiting the canal; it’s an open invitation to experience the world on every side.

In the heart of this voyage is Gatun Lake, a man-made lake that’s as wild as any natural body of water. Take a boat tour to lock eyes with monkeys clambering on trees and pay a visit to the Emberá people who share elements of their culture in their home village.

At the entrance of the canal from Colón, board the 1938 Panama Canal Railway, the first transcontinental railroad. Aboard your domed car, you’ll marvel over Gatun Lake and the lush rainforest, then end with an unforgettable visit to the Aqua Clara Visitor Center for new views of the locks.

Admire historical architecture within the walled city of Cartagena, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Castillo de San Felipe de Barajas and the forts of San Fernando and San Jose still remain.

Zip over a rainforest canopy in Puntarenas overlooking the Pacific coastline and lush green landscape. Once you conquer this heart-pounding adventure, a traditional Costa Rican lunch is waiting for you.

Slow-moving sloths are the stars of a rescue sanctuary in Limón, where you can canoe down the Estrella River for close-up views of Costa Rica’s rainforest foliage and diverse wildlife.

Excursions in the Caribbean infuse your journey with a sense of bliss. Encounter nature in Aruba’s magical Butterfly Farm, dip your toes in the clear turquoise waters of Grand Cayman, and dive into local island cultures through their art and cuisine.
