One of the best amenities at Peninsula Hotels when you book with a Virtuoso advisor: Peninsula Time. Check in anytime after 6am, and check out as late as 10pm.

Even better: after a long haul flight and early arrival, the gracious team at The Peninsula Istanbul had coffee, fresh juices and a light breakfast waiting for us in our room. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Back in one of our favorite hotels: The Peninsula Istanbul. Arguably the best location in Istanbul, right on the Bosphorus, with always something to see - including Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace just across the water.

Expedition cruise: sailing through sea ice in Greenland

Expedition cruise: sailing through sea ice in Greenland

Ice as far as the eyes can see…. A polar expedition is not a cruise, so ice, weather, sea conditions, wildlife may all influence the proposed itinerary. Tuesday’s program was replaced by a stunning sunny sail through the sea ice along the coast of Greenland. #silversea #silverendeavour Silversea Virtuoso Travel #sovirtuoso #virtuosotravel #ice #polar #expedition #cruise #icebreaker #greenland #polarexpedition Q Cruise + Travel #polarexperts #expeditioncruising

Flying high in Dubai: a helicopter 🚁 ride gives you the best overview of this amazing city. And that was only one part of our day here! #thankyou @arabianadventures @dominiquedebaycollection @dominique_debay @mo_jumeira #dubai #helicopter #flight @virtuosoltd #sovirtuoso #virtuososymposium2024 #virtuosotravel #flyinghigh #uae

Meeting some of the locals today: Salukis are a special breed used by nomadic tribes that are able to run fast (up to 70km/hr) and longer distances. And they were just so sweet! (And at Qasr Al Sarab they live in an air conditioned house with Persian carpets, spa treatments every two weeks, fine food, and of course plenty of attention). @anantara_hotels @anantaraqasralsarab @virtuosoltd #sovirtuoso #desert #saluki #dog #uae #abudhabi #dogwhisperer #puppy

A surprise on the way to @anantaraqasralsarab and definitely worth a pitstop even if you’re not a car fanatic: the Emirates National Auto Museum proudly displays a wide range of colorful vintage, classic and unusual vehicles owned by the Royal Family. @anantara_hotels #emiratesnationalautomuseum #auto #emirates #car #museum @virtuosoltd #unusual #vehicles #abudhabi #vintagecars #automotive #collection #vintage #anantara #qasralsarab

Like a palace from 1001 Nights, Anantara Qasr Al Sarab is an oasis at the edge of Ar Rub’ al Khali, or Empty Quarter, that covers much of the south-central portion of the Arabian Peninsula. About a two-hour drive from the center of Abu Dhabi, our villa with private pool overlooks the majestic sand dunes that change color like a chameleon from sunrise to sunset. Camel rides, falconry, visiting with Saluki dogs, desert dune bashing, a hammam treatment, or simply enjoying the view (or Arabian food!), two nights is barely enough for a different perspective on the UAE. @anantara_hotels @anantaraqasralsarab #anantara #qasralsarab #abudhabi #desert #luxuryresort #travel #sovirtuoso #virtuosotravel #qcruisetravel #uae #anyoneforacamelride @virtuosoltd #privatepool

When visiting Hong Kong, make sure you also spend at least one day in Macau. Only a one hour ferry ride away you will find an intriguing blend of Portugal and China; old and new; Europe and Asia. History shows in the UNESCO World Heritage site, with cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, unique food, historic temples. You’ll find quaint villages, parks ideal for tai chi, Pasteis de nata, bilingual street signs, but also Las Vegas style casinos, excellent shopping and did we mention the food? (Yes, we did - but the mixture of Portugal, Africa, China is so unique that we want to make sure!). Excellent hotels too, with the Mandarin Oriental, a comfortable non-gaming hotel, in prime position on Macau. @mo_hotels @turismo_de_macau @mo_macau @travelandleisure #tltab #macau #macao #asia #travel

@abercrombiekent has a not-so-secret weapon to maximize time and comfort when visiting the world’s most beautiful and remote places: its private 757 jet. Equipped with 48 lie-flat first class seats (instead of the usual 200 cramped coach seats!), luxury finishes, charming crew, champagne and caviar service, and chefs who prepare an outstanding local meal, this is the way to fly. Q’s owner @rclabbers was invited by A&K to fly from Iceland to Portland, before the jet flies off on a private jet journey to see amazing wildlife in Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Madagascar, Uganda and Kenya before returning to the US. Amazing! @aktravel_usa @virtuosoltd #sovirtuoso #safari #jet #private #aroundtheworld #rtw #luxury #vacation #traveladvisor
