I was curious to learn more about Cuba and to see if my romantic notion of what I would experience during a visit was true. What I discovered exceeded my expectations. The island’s fascinating 500 year history, highly educated people, classic cars, varied architecture, haute cuisine, art and music, plus beautiful landscapes were captivating. The opportunity to experience its culture, gastronomy and connect with its people is just a flight or two away.

There is no experience quite like securing seat at a world-class special event. These occasions provide extraordinary thrills and excitement, such as the opportunity to watch the action at Wimbledon from courtside, taste rare wines at the Bordeaux festival, hear the roar of F1 cars racing through the streets of Monaco, or shout in excitement from a balcony at the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Fan favorites such as the SuperBowl LVII are coming up fast.

Alaska is an American Safari for those who wish to see bears, whales, eagles, and even more wildlife that call this land home. The Alaska safari is best done by small ship rather than on land. The geography of the region offers amazing viewing opportunities from the shore and on excursions that allow guests to see the animals that spend their time on land, sea and in the air, so a cruise is optimal to see native species.
