I had a very productive cruise aboard Crystal Symphony last week. Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Abercrombie & Kent Geoffrey Kent spent over two hours having dinner with me, during which a wide range of topics were discussed.

In an exciting development for the world of sustainable travel, Fincantieri and Viking last month announced the launch of Viking Libra, the very first cruise ship to be powered primarily by hydrogen. The first-of-its-kind ship is currently under construction at the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona, with delivery scheduled for late 2026. 

Leading ultra luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises is soon to be adding a new string to their Most Inclusive Luxury Experience® bow with new ship Seven Seas Prestige set to debut in 2026. The line has this month unveiled a first look at and new details about the vessel, the seventh ship in the line’s impressive fleet, and the first of its next-generation Prestige class. 

This was my first time trying a smaller ultra-luxury ship and it did not disappoint!

We at Panache Cruises are incredibly excited to announce a partnership with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions, as we celebrate the launch of Panache Expeditions. 

We recently spent a few nights in the charming country of Iceland—here are some things we enjoyed doing whilst there that I would really recommend for anyone visiting the island.

Last month marked an impressive milestone for AmaWaterways, as their brand-new ship AmaMagdalena officially embarked on her maiden voyage, becoming the first-ever luxury river cruise ship to navigate Colombia’s Magdalena River.

Last week, leading luxury and expedition travel brand Silversea divulged more information about The Cormorant at 55 South and how they plan to add an additional layer of luxury to their Antarctic expeditions.

Exploring the globe has never looked more relaxing, as leading luxury cruise line Oceania Cruises has recently unveiled Aquamar Bath + Skincare Essentials in their ongoing pursuit of ultimate serenity. 

From waffles to windmills, my first AmaWaterways cruise was everything I had hoped—and more.
