Exciting scenes in Miami! cloud cruises
・・・
Yesterday our SEA CLOUD SPIRIT called at Miami for the first time. 🇺🇸 The ship moored in front of the spectacular skyline and departs for an 8-day voyage to the exclusive Exumas & Eleuthera before arriving back in Miami via Key West on March 01, 2023. ⛵ The famous exchange of plaques on the occasion of the inaugural call took place right away with both of our captains. ✌️ Captain Vukota Stojanovic replaces Captain Heiner Eilers after many months at sea, so that Eilers can first enjoy his well-deserved vacation. 🤩

Many thanks to all people involved for this really wonderful day! 💛

Fun for the whole family! Not being able to get outside to explore is difficult, but we’ve found that virtual travel is not only fun and exciting, it’s helping us see and understand places we’ve only dreamed about going. From livestreams of animals to games to play virtually, these activities will keep you entertained, informed, and hopefully put a smile on your face. Thanks to Travel + Leisure

Great shot from a recent Criterion Travel trip to Madagascar. “Verreaux’s sifaka, a type of lemur found widely distributed in the southern part of Madagascar, stares back at me from a perch in the branches. Seeing endemic wildlife in a place like Madagascar is an incredible privilege and delight!”

Proud of our partnership with Cornell's Adult University. Great group shot.

We made it! After checking in at Mena House, we had a leisurely afternoon, followed by a delicious evening, and this cool morning stroll along the Giza Plateau…

Fly south this winter and join our Discover Tasmania program aboard the yacht-like Coral Discoverer to venture off the beaten path in comfort. Relatively unknown to most U.S. travelers, the island of Tasmania, off the south coast of Australia, boasts a wealth of wondrous wildlife, wide areas of unspoiled nature, and a fascinating blend of modern and historic culture. Our combination of land and cruise components captures the breadth of the Tasmanian experience.http://www.criteriontravel.com/destinations/Tasmania2020.html

Montgomery was an inspired choice for the annual ETC conference this year. If it’s not a top stop on your U.S. history tour, it needs to be. A few of its central square blocks boast a significance to this country that can hardly be overstated.

Bermuda, a 100-million year old volcanic outpost in the Atlantic, is probably best known for its outdoor activities, pink sand beaches, Bermuda shorts, and the signature Dark & Stormy. But it’s also a decent place to have a conference.

The Wallace Collection, regrettably left off of most visitors’ checklists, is one of London’s many “hidden” gems. Housed in the 16th-century Hertford House near the bustle of Oxford Street, it boasts priceless pieces by Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, van Dyck, Velázquez, and many more. There’s also a fine courtyard restaurant, and a unique armor exhibit that not only allows touching, but encourages visitors to try some on for size. http://ift.tt/2ga7Gfo
