Well, they're back for round number two, and if you thought last year's Celebrity Beyond Adventure was epic, wait until you see this.

This summer, our fabulous couple set sail aboard the newest Celebrity gem, the ASCENT, and boy did it deliver! From the vibrant streets of Barcelona all the way to the historic charm of Rome, every moment was a postcard perfect experience. Delicious and inventive food, excellent entertainment, Posh and upscale Retreats around the ship along with their Sunset veranda State Room made sailing the high seas quite the perfect getaway!

Their journey was packed with breathtaking stops at Valencia, Nice, Portofino, and Florence. Each Port offered its own unique magic. They kicked it off in beautiful Barcelona, which immediately stole their hearts during their pre Cruise exploration. They squeezed every bit of excitement into one unforgettable day. Once the cruise was over, the excitement continued with an extension in Rome.

Each and every single day, never disappointed. When I asked what the highlights were, here is what they said, " sailing through Spain, France, and Italy was a dream come true. Exploring the beautiful Portofino by boat and swimming in the crystal clear mediterranean, and soaking in the breathtaking Tuscan Countryside while savoring pasta and truffle honey Every moment was unforgettable."

We love making dreams come true for our wonderful clients. We are already tossing around their next adventure. Stay tuned and follow along to see where they end up.

This wonderful couple just recently returned from an unforgettable Mediterranean Adventure. Their Greek Isles Cruise began with the stunning beauty of Italy and took them on a breathtaking journey to Santorini, Kusadasi, Mykonos, and Naples.

From the moment they set sail, each destination outshined the last, leaving them in awe of the rich history, gorgeous landscapes, and vibrant cultures.

With a balcony view that felt like it was straight out of a postcard, every sunrise and sunset was magical. The ship was a floating paradise with fabulous entertainment, mouth-watering cuisine, and a multitude of activities that kept them endlessly entertained. Exploring ancient ruins with exceptional guides and indulging in more delicious food than they could have ever imagined made every port a new adventure.

This trip has set the bar very high, and they are already dreaming of their next International Escape! Looking forward to seeing where your next adventure takes you!

There is still availability on this incredible itinerary.

Thank you, , for the inspiration!

I have clients in Spain at the moment, and all I could think about was Paella. This hit all the notes. A Paella isn't a Paella without two key ingredients, Saffron and Paprika..well three if you count the rice. I chose to utilize proteins that were easily accessible today, lobster, shrimp, and calamari. This was a winner!!

PART 1-

Our favorite Globetrotters are at it again. Their adventure began with a few nights in Amsterdam, a city famous for its culture, history, canals, and exciting nightlife. they were gearing up for their seven night river cruise on the captivating Rhine. They tremendously enjoyed their suite stateroom with double balconies that afforded the most spectacular views. stops in Dusseldorf, Rhine Gorge, Ludwigshafen, Strasbourg, Breisach, and ending in Basel Switzerland.
Definitely immersed in the beauty and adventure of the Rhine region! The combination of castles, wine tastings, bike tours, hiking in the Black Forest, and so much more provided a perfect mix of relaxation and excitement.

Their 4 night extension in Switzerland, particularly from Lauterbrunnen to Zurich, offering some of the most picturesque landscapes—those dramatic waterfalls and stunning mountain views are unforgettable.With such a variety of experiences, it makes sense that choosing a favorite would be difficult!

It sounds like the couple's journey through Switzerland was nothing short of magical! The private transfers and tours must have made their experience even more special, allowing them to take in the breathtaking beauty of places like Mt. Schilthorn and Mürren. Those blue-hued lakes with snow-capped mountains are truly a sight to behold.

And, of course, indulging in Swiss chocolate and cheese is an essential part of the experience! The excitement of traveling by trains, gondolas, and cogwheel trains adds an extra layer of adventure to their trip.

As for their next destination, could it be the wondrous South America?? We shall see, stay tuned!

What a wonderful adventure! This wonderful family had an incredible journey through Alaska, experiencing the stunning landscapes and unique activities along the way. Such a wonderful bonding experience for all ❤️

Starting in Fairbanks and flying over the Arctic Circle. The visibility wasn't Supreme, but one family member did overcome their fear of flying in a small aircraft. They absolutely loved their travel aboard the Alaska Railroad to Denali National and all of their other legs of the trip, especially in Goldstar service. We did have to do a bit of pivoting and revise our touring in Denali due to the wildfires . The family did some hiking in lieu of the original tour, and it turned out to be such a wonderful surprise . The experience of dog mushing and the jet boat adventure in Talkeetna was a thrilling way to connect with Alaska's wilderness.

The glacier walk in Anchorage was a memorable highlight, too, giving them a chance to see the majestic glaciers up close. Finally, finishing their trip in Seward, they were treated to the beautiful coastal scenery. There is so much to say about this trip, but we will let the pictures speak for themselves both part one and part two. It was a complete Joy planning this trip with such a wonderful family! We can't wait to see where you go next!

If you have any specific questions or need more information about any part of their trip, feel free to ask!

After an unforgettable journey through Italy, this lovely couple returned home with hearts full of joy and memories to cherish.
They wandered through the enchanting canals of Venice.
In Florence, they enjoyed a visit to the Tuscan Countryside and meandered through the streets of San Gimignano and Siena, as well as a visit to Luca and Pisa. Breathtaking views were everywhere. One of the many highlights included a delicious pasta and gelato making class .
Their time in Rome was a whirlwind of history and romance, visiting the Colosseum and ancient Rome and, of course, the Vatican, but the real highlight for them was their golf cart tour! Without a doubt, they truly enjoyed the savory flavors of authentic Italian cuisine in quaint trattorias. Each city offered a unique tapestry of sights and sounds. Memories they will soon not forget!

We aren't the only country with a huge coffee culture, There’s a good reason why Starbucks hasn’t been able to get a toehold in Croatia. Coffee is the lifeblood of Croatia and it goes hand in hand with the need to share some good gossip rather than burying your head in your laptop. At the heart of this coffee culture is Zagreb, where cafes buzz with the sounds of friends regularly meeting over coffee. ☕🫶👉

Planning tip: If you visit on a Saturday between 10 am and 2 pm, you can experience 'Špica,' a lively tradition where people dress up and stroll from café to café around the main Ban Jelačić Square.👉

Local tip: Order a traditional Croatian coffee, like bijela kava (similar to a latte), macchiato (a shot of espresso with a bit of milk), or kava sa šlagom (coffee with whipped cream). 👌👌

Since coffee in Croatia is meant to be savored slowly, not rushed - take your time. Engage in conversations, people-watch, and savor those little joys of life.
‍

Let's Go!!!

Hrvatsko Zagorje- Get familiar with this vast North-West Region of Croatia. This area is sure to delight your senses!

Right on Zagreb's doorstep lies a perfect destination for easygoing road trips - Zagorje. A land of small colorful villages squirreled between green rolling hills, vast vineyards, and gorgeous medieval castles seems to be plucked out of a fairytale.

From the finest gourmet tastings to mineral-spring spa resorts, the Zagorje region is ideal for hedonists, history lovers, and culture enthusiasts.

What to do in Zagorje?🍀 Journey back to 1334 in Trakošćan Castle, whose neo-Gothic 19th-century exterior hides far older internal structures.🍀 With its pentagonal towers and turrets, atmospheric interiors, and bucolic landscapes, the hilltop castle of Veliki Tabor offers a trip to the 16th century.🍀 Kumrovec Staro Selo is an open-air ethnographic museum transporting you to a 19th-century village with 40 restored houses and barns made of pressed earth and wood.

Hands down, there is a reason why the Celebrity Eclipse is an extremely popular choice for many travelers sailing from Cape Liberty in Bayonne New Jersey.
We had the chance to tour this Timeless Beauty and so pleasantly surprised her on so many levels!
This is a great option for anyone living in the tri-state area including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The ease of being able to drive to a port, park, and sail is a huge win!
The Eclipse is extremely easy to navigate due to its smaller size compared to some of its more recent larger sister ships. It truly has all that you need for a relaxed getaway to Bermuda. 4 days at Sea in total and two days in Bermuda, this really allows you to take advantage of all of the ship's offerings.
Balcony staterooms are a must, and should you choose a suite, you benefit with many upgraded amenities. Enjoy specialty dining at three spectacular venues, a huge theater with Broadway style shows and musical performances, a casino, which is non-smoking, a huge bonus for many, several bars and lounges, beautiful pools and a Solarium which is adults only.
A state-of-the-art Fitness Center, Canyon Ranch Spa Club offering a range of treatments.
Who doesn't love the Ambiance of a rooftop Terrace for outdoor movie screening and a Chic setting for evening entertainment. An art gallery, plenty of shops along with an internet cafe and Wi-Fi to stay connected if you so choose.
This ship is celebrated for its refined Elegance, Innovative design and commitment to providing a luxurious and memorable cruising experience. She definitely won our hearts!

Please reach out for your next Celebrity Cruise experience.

🌸✈️ Travel Diary: Japan Edition ✈️🌸

Meet this dynamic duo who turned their dream of exploring Japan into a reality! From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene landscapes of Takayama, their journey was nothing short of magical. ✨A mix of both private and shared experiences allowed for the perfect balance and flow.

A year of meticulous planning led to an adventure of a lifetime, with cherry blossom season as their backdrop. 🌸 Securing hotels and activities became a thrilling quest, peppered with calls and Zoom sessions filled with excitement! 💻

Their personalized itinerary was a symphony of experiences, weaving through the heart of Japan's rich culture. 🎎 From the solemnity of Hiroshima to the vibrant energy of Kyoto, every moment was a treasure trove of memories.

They immersed themselves in the rhythm of Japanese life, from traditional tea houses to exhilarating baseball games! ⚾️ Temples, shrines, and hot springs painted a vivid tapestry of discovery, while Geisha performances added a touch of enchantment. 💃

And let's not forget the culinary delights that tantalized their taste buds at every turn! 🍣 From street markets to a myriad of restaurants, Japan's gastronomic scene left them craving for more. Just not the snails, LOL...

As their two-week odyssey drew to a close, they realized there's still so much more to explore in this beautiful country. 🗾 But for now, they bid farewell with hearts full of gratitude and memories to last a lifetime. ❤️

Where will this lovely couple venture to next? Stay tuned for more adventures! 🌏
