ASK OUR EXPERTS

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

You know the phrase “April showers bring May flowers?”

Well, in tropical countries, wetter weather transforms the landscape into a jungle of rich greenery and flowing waterfalls. Along with these natural shifts come exceptional deals and lighter crowds, since this is considered the slower travel season.

In Costa Rica, the green season typically runs from May through November. While rainy afternoons ebb and flow through the summer, precipitation grows heavier in the months of September and October. Be sure to pack layers, including a

waterproof jacket or poncho. Plastic zip bags and bug repellent will also come in handy.

Monsoon season in Thailand begins as early as April after Songkran (the new year) but reaches different areas at different times. Koh Samui and the Gulf Islands, for example, usually don’t get monsoons until later in autumn, so a good tip is to travel around the country and keep ahead of the weather.

Dreaming of a safari in Africa?

Kenya’s green season runs from

late March to the end of June — and it’s spectacular! Wildlife arrives to drink from overflowing water holes, baby animals step out into the world, and the rainstorms come and go. Waterproof shoes and moisture-wicking socks are a must, along with bug repellent and long sleeves and pants.

We’re here to answer any questions you may have about booking your trip, planning excursions, and packing for the green season and beyond.

A& Q

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

What first interested you about creating cruise culinary programs?

Traveling, exploring and creating gourmet experiences are at the heart of what Chef Kathryn Kelly does with Regent Seven Seas Cruises.® We tapped into her expertise to find out some of the standout moments in her world.

I am passionate about travel and seeing the world through the lens of cuisine, wine and culinary culture.

Can you describe some of your favorite food markets to visit with guests?

I love the African market in Marseille, France. It has authentic items, both fresh and pantry, from Africa — particularly Moroccan ingredients. I also enjoy the Mercado dos Lavradores in Madeira, Portugal. The island has a subtropical climate, and so many interesting fruits,

vegetables and other produce grow there. Scabbard fish, which is local to the area, is available in the fish market (which is also fabulous). At the Catania fish market in Sicily, it’s like an opera listening to the fishmongers call out; I love the lyrical language spoken there.

What are the most enriching shore excursions that you’ve led?

We have over 60 chef-led tours that I curate personally, so asking for a favorite is like asking me to choose a favorite among my three grandchildren. For local authenticity, a new tour in Costa Maya, Mexico, celebrates maize as an ancient

ingredient. After a visit and culinary demonstration by locals, we come back to our cooking school and make several dishes, including corn ice cream! For a single-ingredient deep dive, it’s all about olive oil. We visit an olive farm in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, and then return to the cooking school to make several dishes featuring olive oil. For a meet-the-locals experience, we spend the morning with a Greek family in their restaurant in Rhodes — making several dishes and then enjoying lunch together.

What are some of your favorite dishes you’ve made using ingredients you picked up that day?

Tapas with ingredients from the markets in Bilbao, Málaga or Barcelona. Gravlax prepared with salmon and spices from the local markets in Helsinki. Tzatziki made from cucumbers and yogurt in Corfu.

Which part of the world do you dream about visiting next?

For someone who travels as much as I do, my favorite place is home — being around my family table with my grandchildren, friends, neighbors and siblings.

ARTISTRY AT SEA

Seven Seas Grandeur™ sails with a trove full of treasures.

From the moment you lay eyes on “Journey in Jewels” — the only Fabergé egg to sail as a permanent exhibit — you’ll understand the level of refinement that Regent Seven Seas Cruises® brings. The Fabergé piece evokes the essence of the ocean, separated into a “shell” of seven blades to honor the Seven Seas, and breaking into a spray of pearls and white diamonds.

Pacific Rim

“Journey in Jewels”

With this one-of-a-kind objet d’art as its centerpiece, the rest of your Seven Seas Grandeur cruise promises to be an unrivaled experience. A 1,600-piece multimillion-dollar art collection accompanies you on the journey, including a nearly 40-foot-tall handwoven tapestry crafted by Brazilian artist Walter Goldfarb and a bronze, hand-cast glass bonsai cherry tree sculpture at the entrance of the Pacific Rim restaurant.

On this voyage, every meal meets the highest standards of epicurean perfection, showcasing Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ 30 years of excellence at sea. Choose from several signature restaurants that have been reimagined for this new generation of ships, including Compass Rose and Prime 7 steakhouse. New dishes in Chartreuse have been inspired by a three Michelin–starred

restaurant and are offered with Gerard Bertrand wines. Plant-based dishes at La Veranda create an even more wholesome culinary experience.

New onboard entertainment brings the romance of tango in “Pasión” and headliner hits in “ICONS,” among other world-class productions. Exclusive spa treatments elevate your whole sense of well-being at sea, including a Zero Gravity Wellness Massage and a Hot Mineral Body Boost.

Following an inaugural season, Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers roundtrip voyages from Miami to the Caribbean Islands and a series of summer sailings in the Mediterranean. Let us reserve your spot today. Call or email us or visit our website, found on the back cover, and enter offer m26829.

A CHE F ’S KISS

Inspired by flavors found on the sun-splashed shores of the Mediterranean, Seabourn’s newest restaurant, Solis, plates up 143 new recipes bursting with flavor.

Showcasing the culinary talents of returning Seabourn chef Franck Salein and Master Chef and Culinary Partner Anton “Tony” Egger, Solis’ 14 signature dishes dance across discerning palates. Salein’s tenure at Michelinstarred restaurants and other fine establishments across the globe informs his recipes — as do the techniques he learned from his grandmother as a young boy in her Normandy kitchen.

Partners once again, Salein and Egger’s dishes enlighten and delight diners, balancing tart and sweet, crunchy and creamy — all in a single bite. Responding to Seabourn guests’ love for Mediterranean cuisine and desire for healthier options, Solis delivers on both with delectable coastal-inspired dishes and 10 captivating cocktails.

“Solis is really about the natural beauty that produces such wonderful ingredients, and the cultures that nurture them, along the coasts of the Mediterranean,” says Chef Salein. Caviar and clementines create a dressing with the perfect amount of salty and sweet for Solis’ Sea Scallops Escabeche. Handmade ravioli stuffed with lobster simultaneously convey

comfort and decadence. Flavors abound in lighter items, like a delicate tomato tart and a Greek village salad sprinkled with barrel-aged feta. Expect a dynamic dining experience at Solis, carefully crafted using the confluence of the five senses for a true chef’s kiss.

Nobuyuki Matsuhisa

MEET THE MASTER

Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa is one of the world’s most celebrated chefs. He’s been honing his craft in restaurants since the 1960s and has been greatly influenced by time spent living in places like Peru, Argentina and even Alaska. He’s won a James Beard Award, and his hospitality empire continues to grow and grow with no end in sight — which is why Crystal is proud to announce that his unique onboard restaurant concept, Umi Uma, has returned to Crystal Serenity and Crystal Symphony

Dining with Crystal is the ultimate culinary experience. With nine distinct options ranging from fine Italian cuisine at Osteria d’Ovidio and a relaxed poolside grill to 24-hour in-suite dining, there’s something to suit every taste and mood. Learn Master Chef Nobu’s creative vision for this unique concept at sea.

Interview by PAUL FEINSTEIN

When you were creating this restaurant, what was your number one priority?

It’s quality. [My] concern from the beginning was, “How can I get fresh products?” I like to go to another country, and I like to see the market, even the fish market and vegetable market. I like to find new products and bring them to the restaurant and start cooking for myself.

Can you talk a little bit about the design of Umi Uma and your thinking behind it?

In the restaurant business, the most important things are good food, good service and good atmosphere. For me, the design is important, and it’s part of the combination.

How would you describe the style of service at Umi Uma?

Umi Uma has only 60 seats, so you have to pay close attention [to guests]. But I’m not looking for Michelin-style service; it’s more casual, with good food and people eating while they’re comfortable.

Can we expect to see you behind the counter?

Of course. I cook, I do a cooking demonstration and I stay in the kitchen to create new dishes with the chefs. Cooking is my life; cooking is my job.

Black cod with miso is the dish you’re most famous for. Why do you think it struck a chord with so many people?

The miso cod is basically a very traditional Japanese food. [Back then] in Japan, we didn’t have refrigerators. To make the fish keep longer, you marinated or salted. With the black cod, I started to marinate one day, two days, three days. And finally, after three days, I cooked it for myself, and it tasted great. Then I put it on the menu and started recommending it to customers. The first one ate it and loved it. Then the second customer loved it. After a while it became my signature dish and the most world famous.

Do you think you’ll ever retire?

I like to keep working, and I like to keep spending time with my team. I like to see my customers as much as possible. You know, life is beautiful. And I enjoy my life. That means no retirement.

To experience it for yourself, give us a call or send us an email. Or visit our website, found on the back cover, and enter offer m26821 to browse Crystal voyages.

Windblown Romance

on the Italian Coast

Arrive with grace when you sail with Star Clippers.

In a whirlwind of joy, your journey to Italy returns you to a grander style of travel on board a tall ship. Sixteen sails billow from Star Flyer, a four-masted classic clipper ship designed with ample outdoor space to soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere.

As you sail along the glorious Amalfi Coast and around the island of Sicily, days of delight stretch out before you. Amalfi lemons taste of sunshine, and local ceramists tempt you with decorative tiles that reflect the colors of the coast.

Within the volcanic Aeolian Islands, Lipari’s narrow streets lead you toward its famous castle, which is actually a fortified citadel built into lava.

Just across the strait from mainland Italy is Messina, where you can explore timeless treasures, such as the Cathedral of Messina’s bell tower that contains a marvelously complex astronomical clock.

Nautical heritage and modern amenities usher you to Italy’s la bella vita and invite you to unwind on board. Feel the camaraderie of a small ship with open-seating dining and both indoor and outdoor bar areas. A Belle Époque fireplace in the Edwardian library exudes warmth and relaxation.

NORWAY NORWAY

ON THE NEWLY REFURBISHED MS TROLLFJORD, HURTIGRUTEN’S EXPERTISE EXPANDS YOUR SENSE OF CURIOSITY.

Brightly colored houses nestle against green hills. Snow-capped peaks stand tall in the distance, and icy waters lap the pebbled shore. On the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard in Norway –where the summer sun never sets –newfound sights, sounds and scents awaken something inside you.

Since 1893, Hurtigruten has sailed the Norwegian coast, carrying passengers and cargo to historic ports and remote settlements. With two voyages that debuted last year, passengers can experience Norway from its southern tip to its northernmost top.

The Svalbard Express revives an old sailing route, including a stop in Longyearbyen on Svalbard, the world’s most northern populated city. On the North Cape Express route, passengers travel the length of Norway, stopping in idyllic port towns along the beautiful coast. Both

sailings include full or half days in port, allowing ample time for exploration. Onboard culinary tastings, photography workshops and enriching lectures give you fresh insights into this remote land. Meals tempt with unique flavor combinations made from ingredients picked up in port: coffee- and vodkacured gravlax with cold hollandaise and fennel; steaming soup with root vegetables and dumplings with fish sourced from Rørvik; and Røros traditional Tjukkmjølk (thick milk custard), adorned with caramelized hazelnuts and raspberries.

Look out over the Arctic landscape with a glass of aquavit in hand, knowing that this majestic part of the Earth is now forever a part of you. To learn more, call or email us, or visit our website on the back cover and enter offer m26824 to browse Hurtigruten options.

Enveloped by an ancient old-growth forest and just steps from gentle waves, this upscale resort puts you in the center of barely touched nature while indulging you with the highest level of service.

In between bird-watching and looking out over the Yuculta Rapids or Innes Passage from the comfort of your room, this beauty compels you to get out into the freshness of the outdoors. Spend a morning on a guided excursion to catch chinook

salmon or watch wildlife from tranquil waters as you paddle a sea kayak. Grab your camera for a wildlife cruise to spot the stars of the Pacific Northwest — orca and humpback whales, playful dolphins frolicking in the water, and Steller sea lions soaking up the sunshine. Grizzly bears make their appearance on the Orford River to seek out salmon for their next meal.

Once you’ve filled your spirit with the surrounding environment, you’ll be primed and ready to celebrate the natural bounties of the Pacific Northwest in a whole different

way. Feast your way through the day with fresh ingredients sourced from the coast — from seafood and organic meats to wildflowers and herbs foraged from Sonora Resort’s own garden. In its flagship Tyee Dining Room, enjoy views of the Yuculta Rapids swirling below while bald eagles soar overhead. When evening falls, choose from a four-course tasting menu or á la carte offerings that shift with the seasons. Pair each course with wines hand-selected from over 1,500 bottles and over 400 selections — featuring everything from regional British Columbia varietals to international finds.

OFF THE GRID ON VANCOUVER ISLAND

Escape from the ordinary on a seaplane or helicopter, or sail away on a 12-seat vessel to reach Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, tucked within the UNESCO-listed Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve.

Start your day with sunrise meditation on a waterfront deck or strengthen your yoga practice in a studio class. However you choose to warm up for the day, adventures await on this western corner of the island.

Board a Zodiac to the protected inlets and islands of Clayoquot Sound, where you can pay a visit to an Ahousaht First Nation village and hike the Wild Side First Nation Interpretive Trail between beaches and forested landscapes.

A paddle through Bedwell Sound reveals glimpses of marine life in their element, followed by a challenging hike to a refreshing waterfall. Take your adventurous spirit to the next level with a selection of heliactivities, whether that’s a sunset aerial tour, finding remote fishing spots or enjoying a sky-high picnic at the top of Ursus Mountain.

Enjoy culinary pleasure with a glass of champagne upon your arrival, multicourse meals starring locally sourced seafood, and complimentary wine, craft beer, cider and small-batch spirits.

Treatments at The Healing Ground Spa are enhanced by the nearness of nature, set before the Clayoquot Sound and forest grounds. Try a massage in a waterfront tent and take in the views from a steaming cedar hot tub.

JOURNEY TO WHISTLER

Travel effortlessly from Vancouver to Whistler by way of a floatplane, bypassing any roadblock as you gaze down at the landscape below. Looking down at the Sea to Sky Highway, the scenery is constantly changing. Stops introduce you to some of the more epic experiences, like viewing the nearly 1,100-foot-high Shannon Falls and taking a ride to the summit on the Sea to Sky Gondola.

Whistler’s greatest treasures are yours to explore, whether you’re in the mood for a village stroll or a strenuous hike. With mountain peaks rising before you, you’ll enjoy nature’s gifts from every angle as you bike through the valley, paddle on lakes and glide over breathtaking landscapes on the Peak 2 Peak Gondola between Whistler and Blackcomb.

ALL ABOARD THE ROCKY MOUNTAINEER

With vibrant Vancouver as your starting point, British Columbia’s rugged interior unfolds before you in a true spectacle. Rocky Mountaineer’s GoldLeaf Service offers the highest level of attention as you roll through the western wilderness, passing through the fields of the Fraser River Valley with the Coastal Mountains looming before you.

Historical Kamloops is the overnight stopping point for your journey before you return to your ride toward Jasper in western Alberta. Sights and sounds will astound you, always on display from the panoramic windows of your bi-level, glass domed coach and from an outdoor viewing platform. Among the highlights you’ll spy are Pyramid Falls, tumbling through a valley of dense forests, and the towering peak of Mount Robson, rising nearly 13,000 feet in the Canadian Rockies. From the stunning lakes in Jasper to the magnificent Icefields Parkway on your way to Banff, these views will do more than dazzle you in the moment. They’ll leave a lasting impression that will soothe your soul and connect you with nature in ways you didn’t know were possible.

Just as the sky is always changing in Saskatchewan, so will your point of view about the world around you. Look up at any time to catch a different show — from blazing spectacles at sunrise and bright blues brushed with ever-moving clouds to brilliant stars speckling a dark canvas. And that’s only the beginning of the adventure.

Set on the golden prairies of Western Canada, Saskatchewan brings together gifts from nature and rich traditions that have endured for thousands of years.

SASKATCHEWAN:

Pay a visit to Wanuskewin Heritage Park, a historical gathering place for the Northern Plains Indigenous peoples and a celebrated space where bison have been brought back from the edge of extinction. A tea and smudging ceremony offers spiritual cleansing, and you will learn about the importance of tipi raising from Indigenous guides.

The deeper you travel, the stronger your connections grow. In the forests of northern Saskatchewan, you’ll have the opportunity to hike, paddle and explore

before dining with a First Nations Elder or a local artist. Fishing with a Cree guide, viewing photo-worthy ancient pictographs and flowing waterfalls, and touring the impressive Remai Modern art museum complete your immersion into this mesmerizing destination.

Imagine yourself out on the prairies of Saskatchewan, and let us bring that vision to life. Give us a call, send an email or visit our website — found on the back cover — and use offer m26851 to learn more.

As Alaska comes to life after a long winter slumber, UnCruise Adventures is in sync with its rhythms.

“What very few people know is that early season Alaska is often the sunniest, most peaceful and beautiful.”

Expedition Guide

As the Great Land yawns and stretches, there’s a sense of arrival. Humpback whales are returning from winter breeding grounds. Bears and their cubs awaken to forage by the shore, as the salmon are not yet running. Snow still blankets lower elevations as meltwaters feed crashing waterfalls, and glaciers calve like thunder into the bay below them. “The nature and wildlife are unbelievable.”

Expedition Guest

UnCruise Adventures’ small ships are well stocked with adventure equipment and offer sea and land excursions led by expert guides. Free from crowds, you’ll fully enjoy the serenity of spring and Alaska’s untamed beauty. Hike to breathtaking panoramas, paddle to magnificent fjords, and learn about native Alaska cultures and tribes — inclusive cruises allow you to take your pick of daily activities at no extra charge.

“The thing about Alaska is that it touches everybody. By the end of the trip, they are changed.”

Capt. Sean Manske

Spring’s extra daylight gives you more time to experience Alaska’s wilderness and solitude. And when you’re ready to relax, your ship’s cozy haven is ideal for sipping warm beverages, sharing stories and watching out for the aurora borealis. With UnCruise Adventures, nature and life unfold at their own unhurried pace.
