Mi itinerario de “Imperios del Mediterráneo” a bordo del Nieuw Amsterdam, fue uno de destinos de ensueño. Además de llevarme desde Venecia a Estambul, Kusadasi, Santorini, Mykonos, Katakolon y Atenas, me deparaba otra sorpresa, una joya casi secreta que descubrí pocos días antes de abordar: El chef Richard Chamberlain era el invitado especial para compartir recetas en el Culinary Arts Center. El ha viajado varias veces con Holland America empresa de la que dijo tiene el mejor programa de cocina

A country that is known to attract a large number of beach and adventure lovers all over the world, Thailand has some of the most beautiful beaches and great water activities in Asia. Due to the fact that this country has a very long coastal region, thousands of tropical islands, and imposing rivers like Chao Phraya, Wang River or Chi River, there are innumerable opportunities for Thailand cruise tours, and that is why one of the most attractive deals to Thailand belong to the cruise tours.

A spring trip to Amsterdam and Holland is not complete without a cruise through the Dutch countryside to see the tulip fields in bloom.
In addition to visits to such famous sites as Haarlem, Delft, Rotterdam, Gouda, Amsterdam and the windmills of Zaanse Schans, boutique canal and river cruises include two of the most popular destinations in Holland. Not to be missed are:

Princess Cruises’ Facebook Travel Contest May Sink the Ship
In the last month or so, I’ve received a half dozen Facebook Travel Contests offering all kinds of wonderful trips to the winner.
One came from Queensland, Australia, a solid contest that was rendered irrelevant by the horrific floods there.
Then there was the Carnival Cruise Lines Facebook promo we reported on at New Media Travel and now, Princess Cruises has just launched a Facebook Contest for the “Best Travel Bucket St

It’ a great video. It’s fun, alive, upbeat and touches a travel nerve: It’s Carnival Cruise Line’s new advertising campaign, “Hey America, Didja Ever.”
But the video is not on the cruise line’s web site, confirming, once again, that searches for authentic travel experiences are not found on search engines or on web sites, but on social media networks.
It’s here where people can question, connect and participate with real people in

The Nile is the longest river in the world, stretching north for approximately 4,000 miles from East Africa to the Mediterranean. Studies have shown that the River (Iteru, meaning, simply, River, as the Egyptians called it) gradually changed its location and size over millions of years. The Nile flows from the mountains in the south to the Mediterranean in the north. Egyptians traveling to other lands would comment on the "wrong" flow of other rivers. For example, a text of Tuthm
For weeks if not months now, I’ve been driving past huge signs blaring, “MIAMI-DADE WELCOMES NORWEGIAN EPIC” — and let’s not even talk about the barrage of radio and print ads of what was sounding like The Innovative Cruise Ship Phenomenon of the Decade. It’s certainly a big enough deal for the city, as the Port of Miami’s first new cruise ship in three years. But would this 4,100-passenger, $1.2-billion extravaganza in fact outdo all the hoopla over other splashy recent de
I am a travel consultant, a Uniworld Cruise Specialist and a lifelong Francophile. I had the opportunity to sail on Uniworld's River Royale in early November 2010 as my first river cruise experience. This was indeed an epicurean adventure to sail on France's Rhone and Saone rivers.
River cruising is totally different from ocean cruising. You are steps away from the beautiful towns where you can take walking tours, ride bicycles, have an all inclusive food and wine experience with itineraries cate
At an art gallery in Eden Prairie, Minnesota about 1995, there was a painting that caught my eye, that would lead me to a magical place in Norway many years later. Passionate about the cruise industry, I have been on over 300 cruises around the world and have even worked on the ships as a Cruise Director and Entertainer. Today, as a Cruise Industry Journalist, I set out to find creative and fascinating cruises and itineraries that will be of interest to the listeners of my talk show and viewers
Landing in Portland, Maine, I quickly stopped wondering if this would be another shopping and stuff-your-face vacation. I was happy to note boats, sloughs, masts, traps, seafood signs, varnished wooden spars, and sea smells…back in my personal natural element on the Maine coast.
Fortunately, there are many things to interest my wife at the same time; great food, interesting local shops, and historic B&B offering outstanding gardens. We would soon board an historic 1871 schooner for a 3-day sail

Cruise Lines Sail the Social Media Seas
The captain of the Oasis of the Seas may have driven the 5,400 passenger cruise ship into Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades last fall, but it was Social Media channels that drove the Royal Caribbean's cruise ship, the world's largest, onto Google's most-searched list.
Travel trade publication Travel Weekly reported that as of a couple of weeks ago, 10 million unique visitors made their way to OasisoftheSea.com, and a whopping 200,000 people
Cruise tourism is a billion pound industry focusing on offering quality services to their guests whilst visiting exotic locations with beautiful sceneries. A recent report from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) estimated that cruise tourism in Europe alone generates goods and services worth more than €32bn and provides over 311,512 jobs.
However, over the past few years, this industry has been increasingly criticised for its irresponsible practises and the negative effects that th
My journey to the land of the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis began with a flight to Bodo, Norway, where I boarded the MS Trollfjord with Hurtigruten. Bodo is the administrative capital of Nordland at 67°17’N (the Arctic Circle is at 66°33’N) with more than 1.5 million visitors every year. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains including several islands, including the Lofoten Islands.
We set off at 3pm on what Hurtigruten describes as a "working ship" as they are the
If you believe the industry hype, river cruising is riding the rocket of small ship and adventure products in a rapidly growing cruise market. I tend to agree. The anecdotal evidence points to more travellers seeking out products away from the traditional sea and coastal routes and looking inland to the great waterways.
