Slow travel is set to see a renaissance once we’re free to roam again, as we seek to travel longer, more leisurely, without compromising on an ounce of quality. If there’s one such trip that ticks all the boxes – with the finest Swiss fountain pen, we assume – it’s…

With Princess Cruises set to offer four ships sailing out of Sydney in its Australia 2022-2023 cruise season – including Royal Princess and Majestic Princess for the first time ever – we decided there could be no better time to delve down under. Because nowhere else do you find hip…

The question of whether you should book early or wait for a cheap last minute cruise is one that comes up time and time again, but what’s our recommendation on getting the best bargain cruises, go early or wait it out? Do you book as soon as itineraries are launched and…

Visitors to the region will find an array of classical attractions, so we’ve put together a list of the best antiquated sights in the Med – whether you’re an Ancient…

There are many reasons why Palma proves such a tempting proposition as the departure point for Mediterranean itineraries. The sun warms the sandstone of its historic old town almost year-round and the harbour is never empty of boats, both owned by fishermen and chartered by those seeking solace on the bluest…

Architecture that wouldn’t look out of place in the storybooks, thanks to the whimsical ways of Antoni Gaudí, and a labyrinthine Gothic Quarter that was once frequented by more gaggles of geese than throngs…

If there’s one place to which we can’t wait to return, it’s Italy. We’re desperate for that first sip of inky espresso and those plates of gloopy pasta licked with rich ragu. We’ll open doors to Renaissance masterpieces and spend time in town squares even Hollywood couldn’t do justice. We’re…

Welcome to Miami, bienvenidos a Miami! We can’t guarantee a Will Smith welcome to Miami but we can promise that the city is every bit as unforgettable as the song. Things to do in Miami DON’T MISS…  It is hard to get your head around just how much Miami manages…
