Von Piräus nach Venedig unter den Segeln der Star Clipper: Coolcation ist bei immer heißeren Sommern ein Trend, aber wenn man's realistisch betrachtet, wollen die meisten Urlauber eben doch in den Süden. Wir probieren es stattdessen mal mit „Hotcation“ und sprechen im Podcast darüber, warum sich eine Kreuzfahrt auf einem Großsegler dafür besonders eignet. Sommer und Mittelmeer – das gehört für viele Urlauber immer noch zusammen, trotz immer neuer Hitzerekorde. Cruisetricks.de war im August mit der Star Clipper von Piräus nach Venedig unterwegs und hat ausprobiert, wie man diese Reise im Hochsommer so richtig genießen kann. In dieser Podcast-Episode geht es nur kurz um das Schiff, mit dem wir unterwegs waren, die Star Clipper, denn dazu haben wir bereits nach einer früheren Reise eine Podcast-Episode gemacht: „Mit der Star Clipper in Costa Rica“. Wir sprechen stattdessen vor allem über die Reiseziele der Star-Clipper-Kreuzfahrt: Poros, Santorini, Katakolon, Korfu, Kotor, Dubrovnik, Korcula, Hvar, Cres und die großartige Einfahrt direkt nach Venedig, denn das ist mit einem so relativ kleinen Schiff wie der Star Clipper noch erlaubt. Eine Kreuzfahrt, auf der übrigens viel tatsächlich gesegelt wurde, denn der Wind stand meist günstig und war mitunter sogar recht kräftig – ein Bonus auf einer ohnehin schon faszinierenden Reise. After-Show als Bonus und Extra-Podcast für unsere Steady-Abonnenten In der Aftershow sprechen wir über den Einstieg der Royal Caribbean Group bei Sandals Resorts International mit einer 50-Prozent-Beteiligung für rund drei Milliarden Dollar. Auf den ersten Blick eine normale Formen-Übernahme, auf den zweiten Blick dann aber doch recht spektakulär, denn erstmals steigt ein großes Kreuzfahrt-Unternehmen bei einer großen Hotelkette an Land ein. Was bedeutet das für den Kreuzfahrtmarkt? Und wie könnten Royal Caribbean und Sandals in Zukunft womöglich eng zusammenarbeiten? In der Aftershow sprechen wir über die Möglichkeiten. Die After-Show, ebenso wie die werbefreie Version des Podcasts, ist ein besonderes Goodie [exklusiv für unsere Unterstützer via Steady](https://steadyhq.com/de/cruisetricks-podcast/about), das wir in einem eigenen, kleinen Podcast bereitstellen.

Jacks, Dennis, and Calisha return to discuss relationship boundaries, including how much access your partner should have, dating age gaps, recognizing the “icks,” and more!
The full squad is back. Royal Caribbean is taking a 50% stake in Sandals Resorts for roughly $3 billion, and the crew breaks down why a cruise line wants an all-inclusive hotel brand. Edwin runs the numbers on who is really serving whose guests, and Scott, who has known the Stewart family most of his life, explains why cruise companies can't build ships fast enough and are coming ashore instead. Then it's Airbnb's hotel push: just shy of 4,000 hotels on the new listing format, hand-curated and aimed at independent and soft-brand three- and four-star properties. Ben weighs in as an operator who knows the platform well, and Edwin asks what happens to hotels when short-term rental markets get squeezed. From there, Uber's hotel business: Dara Khosrowshahi says the traveler comes to Uber, Uber One has more than 50 million paying members, and the Blacklane deal hints at where a trip super app could go. The closer: at Skift's first creator summit, IHG and Hyatt said they're giving up control of scripted creator campaigns. Scott says it's six years too late. Ben says social is now the best customer acquisition channel on the planet, and any brand that won't invest in it is choosing to hand its bookings to the OTAs. Plus spice of the week, from an Ibiza rave revival to the difference between building a brand and putting heads in beds.

SHOW NOTES — Varanasi and Dharamshala: India's Two Spiritual WorldsEpisode SummaryIn this episode, Max joins John Wright, a travel writer from Seattle, who travels through two of India's most powerful spiritual centers. Varanasi, a city that overwhelms every sense, and Dharamshala, a peaceful Himalayan refuge shaped by the Dalai Lama's presence. They share a spiritual reputation, but the experience of each place feels like stepping into opposite worlds.VaranasiVaranasi hits travelers with full force the moment they arrive. The Ghats along the Ganges are a nonstop procession of pilgrims bathing, priests chanting, and funeral pyres burning day and night. The air is thick with smoke, incense, and the scent of the river. Narrow alleys twist between temples, cows, vendors, and crowds moving in every direction at once. John describes Varanasi as a place where sanctity and spectacle collide. Anyone can declare himself a holy man and find followers. Tuk-tuks weave through traffic like bumper cars without the crashes. It is exhausting, unforgettable, and unlike anywhere else on Earth.A short ride away, Sarnath offers a rare pocket of calm. This is where Buddha delivered his first sermon, and the gardens and monuments feel worlds away from Varanasi's intensity.DharamshalaFlying into Dharamshala feels like entering a different India entirely. The Himalayas rise in front of you, and the air is crisp and clean. In McLeod Ganj, red-robed monks walk between monasteries, prayer flags flutter, and the pace of life slows to a gentle rhythm. Portraits of the Dalai Lama hang in shops and cafés, not as decoration but as expressions of genuine affection. Locals describe him as compassionate and authentic, and his presence shapes the entire community. Even the monkeys seem to have their own personalities, swinging across wires and lounging in the sun.The Dalai Lama's temple is simple on the outside but beautifully decorated inside. Visitors sit quietly, many in traditional Tibetan dress, absorbed in prayer and reflection.The ContrastVaranasi is loud, raw, and overwhelming. Dharamshala is calm, reflective, and shaped by mountain silence. One city feels like a spiritual circus; the other feels like a sanctuary. Both reveal different sides of India's spiritual identity.Other Pilgrimage Stops MentionedMathura, birthplace of Krishna, filled with peaceful temples and prayerful devotees. Amritsar, home of the Golden Temple, one of India's most welcoming sacred spaces.Travel TipAll temples in India require visitors to remove shoes and socks. Sandals make life easier.Call to ActionIf you enjoyed this journey through India's spiritual contrasts, subscribe to the GoNOMAD Travel Podcast on Apple Podcasts and never miss an episode.

In our series on the book of Acts, in chapter 13 we see a group who heard the word of God and were happy enough about it, UNTIL...until they heard another group hearing the same message. They became envious because they wanted to be special and have this all to themselves. They began to speak against those who brought the message to try and discredit them due to their inclusion of a people who they saw as lesser than they. In the end these minsters gave them what for and dusted off their sandals and went to the ones who received it with gladness. Lets talk about it.

As pickleball continues to take the world by storm, we sit down with Megan Fudge, the #1 player in the Association of Pickleball Players, in honor of National Pickleball Day to talk about what makes the sport so much more than just a game. Megan shares her journey from first picking up a paddle to competing professionally, while reflecting on the friendships, family memories, and sense of community that keep players coming back. She also discusses how Sandals and Beaches Resorts have embraced the sport's rapid growth through on-resort clinics, official partnerships, and year-round programming. Filled with coaching insights, friendly competition, and plenty of Caribbean sunshine, this conversation captures the fun, connection, and energy that have made pickleball a true phenomenon.
The Time Traveler’s Quick Guide to Armageddon Over the last several months, we have done some deep dives into the principalities and powers in high places, the beast kingdoms, and then more particularly, into the kings of the east, another category that intersects with the beast kingdoms, including the Persian bear. In term of their proto-prophecies in the Torah, we’ve been all over the place because prophecy is cyclical, even though not identical, from generation to generation. When we read of events in the Psalms, Writings, Prophets, and New Testament, the writers expect us to already be familiar with those proto-prophecies. It was important to establish the earmarks of the battles with the kings of the east in Torah because Adonai declares the end from the beginning. If we want to have the basic understanding of the sixth and seventh bowls of wrath in the end and how they lure in the nations to Armageddon (Har-Megiddo), then we familiarize ourselves with them at the beginning: “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs; for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (“Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.”) And they gathered them together to the place which in Hebrew is called Har-Magedon. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.” And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.” (Re 16:12-18) Har is “mountain,” and Megiddo is “a place of crowds,” so important in its military situation that it has been destroyed and built over numerous times. It overlooks the Jezreel Valley's flat, agriculturally fertile abundance as well as the road to the Western Sea, or Mediterranean, an excellent place to monitor the coastal trade route that connected continents from ancient times. John prophesies of a final crowd that will be drawn to this ancient hill in the ol’ breadbasket of Israel. Rather than review some of the many points from our Heaven Shaking the Bear series, I will use them to augment some additional points in this newsletter. You can always go back and access the transcripts (thank you, volunteers!) or videos for little details, such as why even Canaanite kings are considered kings of the east. I'd rather add some new information for your handy time travel guide to Armageddon. We'll be half Marty McFly and half Indiana Jones on our hunt for clues to Armageddon. Let's take a seat in our time machine, the Word, and travel back to our familiar story in Judges 4-5, the story of Deborah, Barak, and Sisera with his 900 iron chariots. A little clue is in Sisera's 900 chariots. It links the ancient with the future. Nine hundred years (plus some) is the typical age of the pre-flood notables from Adam to Noah. In human history, they are the ancients. It was an era marked by the rebellion of the “sons of Elohim” who provoked human beings to such a violence. Sisera's chariots were iron, denoting the Roman beast kingdom that is mingled with clay in the feet of his image. In other words, something of Deborah's story will establish a template for understanding the final defeat of the Red One, who appears in Revelation as the chosen steed for the Great Harlot Babylon. The nine-hundred-year era of the days of Noah and its violence will link to the end time of Armageddon. Every time I see the word “Babylonian,” my mind says, “babaloney.” Don't know why. But ick. Okay, now let's power up the time machine. We need to visit Abraham's time during the battle for Sodom among the kings of the east, the Covenant Between the Pieces, and then visit Moses in the wilderness. Ready? Push the Abraham button. It might say, Avram, but you'll recognize it. Here we go. Wait, wait. First, tape a copy of Judges 4-5 and a map of Israel on your steering wheel. We'll need to compare what we see with the first battle of Armageddon that Deborah fought against Sisera to our past future locations. Okay, here we come, Abrahamic period. We are landing among the four kings of the east, led by Amraphel (perhaps Nimrod), who marched through and defeated territories east of the Jordan. The five kings of the Sodom coalition have quit paying their taxes, so the four kings are on their way to collect plus interest. Even though those cities of Sodom are situated mostly to the east of the Salt Sea, after the four kings first march and defeat cities east of the Jordan and in the highlands of Bashan, they are continuing as far as the Negev near Kadesh, En-Mishpat, and Hazazon-Tamar. By bypassing the Sodom coalition cities, the four kings are giving the five kings time to muster before the four kings turn back east and meet them near the Salt Sea in battle. Do you see this? Inexplicably, Sodom's five kings are falling into tar pits! Shouldn't they know about those tar pits? After all, this is their territory! How strange! And there goes Lot and his family as captives. And there…someone escapes and runs to tell Abraham. Okay, we don't have to follow them up to Damascus. We know how this ends. Check your Judges 4-5 Scriptures and map. They're taped to your steering wheel, remember? Something similar happened to Sisera's iron chariot. Like Pharaoh drove his chariots into the Reed Sea and there his chariot wheels became “confused,” so Sisera drove his chariots into the mud of the Kishon, which he should have known about because he was a Canaanite. Although Pharaoh was not a “king of the east,” he is the dragon, and his authority was passed to them. This suggests that our soggy bottom boys are experiencing a Divine intervention, not just a human battle. Something flies in their brains, stings them, and causes confusion…perhaps the tzirah, the supernatural hornet of Moses and Joshua? The tzirah went before the armies of Israel, and it helped Moses conquer on the east side of the Jordan and Joshua on the west side of the Jordan. It first causes confusion, and then it cuts off root and fruit. It is the supernatural bug described as being released from the King of Abaddon in Revelation. Not so coincidentally, Deborah's name means “bee” in Hebrew, and “hornet” in Aramaic. The root of her name is “word,” as in Devarim, the fifth book of the Torah and perhaps the most apocalyptic since it is the little scroll of Torah. There was a reason Barak would not take his soldiers into battle without her; she represented the Divine power of the Word going before them! How does Deborah know to tell Barak that he needs exactly 10,000 soldiers mustered from a place named “Kedesh”? Deborah judged Israel under the “palm tree of Deborah.” A palm tree is a tamar: “She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment (mishpat ????????????).” Can you see Deborah studying the scrolls of Torah? Those scrolls are rolling her right into the time of Avraham, and she sees the conquests of Moses and Joshua in the wilderness, such as Amalek. She recognizes the conquests of the four kings as having the same names that are in the hill country of Ephraim near Har-Megiddo: From Kadesh to Kedesh. From Hazazon-Tamar to the tamar providing her shade to read the scroll. From En-Mishpat to her job rendering mishpat for Israel. We know Deborah has spent time scroll-rolling back to Abraham's time because she mentions something specific in her Judges Five song. The Song of Deborah mentions the courage of the tribe of Ephraim in the defeat of Sisera's chariots: “From Ephraim, those whose root is in Amalek came down…” If you need to, program in “Amalek in the Wilderness,” and travel there to see a bit of the battle. This “root in Amalek” is thought to refer to the wilderness battle under Moses in which the Ephraimite Joshua defeated Amalek. The tribe of Ephraim is rooted in its leadership in the victory in the wilderness in Israel's first encounter with Amalek. Deborah knows Amalek is enticed to attack when its opponent looks weak, so that gives her a Divine strategy in enticing this king of the east Sisera to his Armageddon. Okay, now travel back to the battle between the four kings and the five kings. The four kings of the east also conquered Amalek before turning back to battle the five kings of Sodom. While the battle continues, let's return to this question (you already know how that battle ends): How does Deborah know to tell Barak that he needs exactly 10,000 soldiers mustered from a place named “Kedesh”? We've only partially answered it. And our answer is based on the battle between bad kings of the east vs worse kings of the east. We don't want to take this as the only source of Deborah's inspired strategy to lure Sisera to Har-Megiddo. Deborah is scrolling through the rolls of the Torah, and she must have some even better prophecies on which she bases her battle with Sisera. Let's leave these guys for Avraham to deal with and travel forward and back to Deborah's palm tree for more clues. Yes, time travelers. Next week we'll go back to the future with Deborah and spend some more time with Avraham and Moses. There must be a connection between Deborah's forty years of peace in Israel and Moses' forty years in the wilderness. Deborah has the handy traveler's guide to help her map it all out. We'll see her secret of selecting 10,000, and we might even take a peek inside Yael's tent to find that she knew the Torah, and it guided her hand when she drove the tent peg into Sisera's head. Oh, dear, oh dread. Sandals muddy like heavy lead. Some yogurt he was fed. Then he went to bed. Now Sisera is dead. A tent peg's in his head. Okay, Deborah is better at composing songs than I am. I gave it a shot. Roll your time travel machines to Judges 4-5, and we'll see you next week. Please SUBSCRIBE to our newsletter to get new teachings.

Peter Menges is the SVP Customer Engagement & Loyalty for Unique Vacation Inc., an affiliate of the worldwide representative of Sandals & Beaches Resorts. He has more than 20 years of experience in leadership in the hospitality space and he has a strong personal commitment to the power of human-centered leadership, and a human-centered approach to engaging and caring for customers. Sandals has been on a multi-year journey to re-imagine their points-based customer loyalty program as something more innovative and meaningful, where loyalty becomes an outcome of a great experience and where every guest feels like an insider. Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute has been part of that journey from the day one, working very closely with the Sandals loyalty team to help them craft a more Truly Human experience. Chapman & Co. Leadership was founded by our late Chairman Bob Chapman to bring Truly Human Leadership to organizations around the world. On this podcast, Barry Kirk, a partner at Chapman & Co., talks to Peter about that journey, as well as how Peter became a Truly Human Leader. Their conversation also includes a story about how Sandals dealt with the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall in Jamaica in October 2025. The storm brought destruction and loss of life and livelihood across the island. Similar to Barry-Wehmiller when revenues collapsed during the great recession, the disaster also left Sandals Resorts facing a critical decision -- how to support the team members in their span of care when the very resorts they worked for had also been devastated by that storm.

Doree and Elise also chat about Elise's missing cat (come home Abe!) and Doree receives more evidence for her theory that the 10th grade cohort is wild.To leave a voicemail or text for a future episode, reach Doree & Elise at 781-591-0390.
