The bubbly has been on ice for far too long; it’s time to welcome Spirit of Adventure to the Saga fleet. With just hours to go until the ship is finally christened ahead of her maiden voyage around the UK, we caught up with the man set to take her…

Anthem of the Seas is bringing the noise back to Southampton and we couldn’t be happier to see her North Star back on the horizon. We were first in the queue to get back aboard one of our favourite ships at sea, with Bolsover’s own Helen Moore boarding for the…

Even if the only island you’re visiting this weekend is the kitchen island, you can still sail into the Mediterranean sunset with Viking’s Sicilain Negroni recipe. A twist on the classic cocktail, founded in delightfully indulgent Florence in the 1920s, this version uses blood orange for maximum impact. INGREDIENTS ¾…

If the past year has taught us anything, besides how to bake banana bread and breathe in a mask, it’s how much travel means to us. There’s a whole world out there begging to be explored and, with it taken away, we’ve missed it so much from the confines of…

It takes a good breakfast to fire you up for a good day. Holland America’s simple Swiss Style Muesli recipe is the same one found in the Lido Market and on the menu at breakfast. While it usually fuels great adventures around the world, this breakfast is a favourite way…

This miniature Maltese marvel still feels like a secret. While its spirit feels similar to southern Italy, its tumble of narrow streets is unlike any you’ve seen elsewhere, instead as unique as the locals who serve your cold Cisk to tables stacked precariously on steep ancient steps. Here’s how to…

Greece is back on the agenda and its most hedonistic isle is right at the top of our holiday wish list. Mykonos embodies everything we love about the Mediterranean and a Greek Isles cruise. It’s charming, stacked with culture, delicious wherever you dine – at the beach or up in…
