Montreal is a foodie destination, and sometimes fresh is better than fancy. So on our last post-cruise stay, we were delighted to experience the casual fresh Lebanese cuisine of Mezzmiz. Locally owned, colorful design, charming team, and the perfect place to try mezze and other Lebanese dishes, right in the heart of downtown.

Expeditions to Antarctica focus mostly on scenery and wildlife. The Arctic also allows you to learn about its indigenous people.

The history and culture of the Inuit community shows you how resilient humans are, living in remote areas that are frozen for most of the year. Towns like Kimmirut may have only 500 residents, removed hundreds of miles from the nearest settlement.

While now residents have access to internet, satellite tv, a basic supermarket and more, imagine what it must have been like to live under the harshest of conditions in months of darkness, being able to eat only what you hunted or found, and trying to stay warm.

We met many welcoming locals who showed us how their ancestors ensured they could feed their families; used every single part of hunted animals for food, tools, clothes, shelter, kayaks, jewelry, toys and more; how they made fire and built winter homes.

The hamlet of Kinngait, nicknamed the Capital of Inuit Art, also proudly showcased its modern printing and art center.

And then there were the remnants of the Hudson Bay Company. You may just know The Bay as a Canadian department store conglomerate, but the company started here in 1670 with fur trade.

Nuuk, the capital of Greenland 🇬🇱 is home to about 20,000 people or 1/3 of the country’s population. Our young Inuit guide told us proudly about her heritage, her tattoos, the folktales, the city and its people. Definitely worth a visit - especially the Greenland National Museum and Archives.

Look who else was in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland 🇬🇱today!

Docked right next to Silver Endeavour, King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark in the royal yacht Dannebrog.

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.

On an expedition, your ship is your base camp. But as base camps go, Silver Endeavour is one of the most comfortable and luxurious at sea. Spacious suites with walk-in closets, a parka and gear locker, private balcony, separate WC and butler service. Only about 200 guests, 4 restaurants, in-suite dining, indoor pool, a great gym, spa, library, lounges, about 24 expedition team members, guest lecturers. If you’re going to the ends of the earth, 🌍 this is the way to do it!

Our first day in Greenland on our Arctic expedition: clear blue skies, bright sunshine, ice bergs and a symphony (cacophony?) of whales 🐋 breathing just off the bow of Silver Endeavour. Amazing and we haven’t even left the ship yet.

It’s always nice to unexpectedly run into a friend.

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

Columbus stayed here before his trek across the seas. You should too.

Today we made another Hong Kong luxury hotel our home: this slick suite at The Regent Hong Kong has wall to wall views. Oh, and that big round bath just calls for bubbles… #TABRediscoverHK @rosewoodhongkong #rosewoodhongkong #rosewoodhotels @mo_hkg #mandarinoriental @hongkongregent #regenthotels @langhamhotels #LovingLangham @peninsulahongkong #PenMoments @travelandleisure #tltab

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
