I have been intrigued as recent reviews of Crystal Cruises have been very positive, including it having the highest passenger ratings on Cruise Critic in the ultra-luxury category, better than Regent Seven Seas, Silversea and Seabourn. So, I decided to test Crystal Cruises out to see if they really are the best of the ultra-luxury lines.

Do cruise lines still have formal nights, or is it a thing of the past? In this episode of RTE-Travel Talk, Ken sits down with Barb Chamberlain of Direct Travel to explore the best cruise lines for formal nights, what to expect, and whether you should pack that tux or cocktail dress.

Nick Monard is a serial entrepreneur, travel agent, podcaster, and author based in Southwest Florida. After immigrating to the United States in 2013 with the goal of achieving the American dream, he became a leadership and mindset expert. With his unique perspective on success, travel, and influence, Nick has inspired many and penned the book Mindset Is My Degree.Welcome, Nick! Tell us a little about yourself.Thank you for having me! I'm originally from Belgium. When I first arrived in the United States, I spoke no English, which made navigating this new chapter quite a challenge. But it was also one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and coming to the U.S. allowed me to channel that into extremely meaningful pursuits—like starting my travel agency and sharing my travel mental and professional journey through writing.Why did you want to move to the U.S.?At 9 years old, I came to visit Florida for three weeks and I came back obsessed with America. The American flag was all over my room and my dream board. At the top of my dream board, I wrote, “I will move to the United States one day.” I knew I was going to move to the U.S. one day. I finally moved to the U.S. at 33 years old, but it was all worth it.What was it like moving to the U.S. from Belgium?It was quite a polar cultural shift. Belgium is known for its history, architecture, and small-town historic charm, while the U.S. is much larger in scale and offers endless opportunities. Adjusting to a new language and lifestyle was tough, but it taught me resilience and adaptability—qualities that are central to my work today.What do you love most about Southwest Florida? Do you have any favorite spots?Southwest Florida is paradise! Palm Trees are “freedom” to me. The scenery, the weather, and the beaches are stunning, and the community is warm and welcoming. My favorite beach spots include Barefoot Beach, and Lovers Key State Park—they're perfect for relaxing and soaking in the natural beauty. As for food, I'm a fan of the Cooper's Hawk Restaurants in Naples and Fort Myers. For travelers visiting SWFL, what are your must-do recommendations?There's so much to explore! The beaches and islands like Sanibel and Captiva are stunning. I'd suggest staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Naples for a luxurious experience or trying out the smaller boutique hotels for a cozy vibe. Be sure to visit the Edison and Ford Winter Estates for some history and take a kayak tour through the mangroves at the Estero River Outfitters. And of course, don't miss out on the local seafood—it's some of the freshest you'll ever taste! The outlets and outdoor malls like 5th Avenue in Naples and Miromar Outlets in Estero have great shopping. You can even travel up to places like Siesta Key for extra adventures.What sparked your love of travel?It's in my DNA. Growing up in Europe and playing professional basketball, travel became a big part of my life. In Europe, countries are so close together. In the U.S. I traveled to New York, NOLA, Vegas, and other fun cities. I've always been curious about experiencing new cultures, meeting people, and seeing the world from different perspectives.What are your favorite places you've visited?I'd have to say Antarctica even though I hate cold weather! I took a Seabourn cruise through Antarctica and it was the best experience of my life. In Europe, Barcelona is my favorite city because it has everything. It has a fantastic beach, extravagant architecture, amazing city life, top-notch food, and a fantastic cruise port. I love Las Ramblas Boulevard for the “people watching” and music. I also love Budapest. It is a totally underrated city with extremely nice people and very affordable prices. People in Croatia are also extremely nice and beautiful. If you like beer and “real” French Fries, check out my home country of Belgium. Each place left a lasting impression on me for different reasons.What's your favorite way to travel?I'm a fan of cruising. There's nothing like waking up to a new destination every day without having to unpack and pack up again for the next spot. My two best-selling adult cruiseliners are Celebrity Cruises and Virgin Voyages. These cruise liners have great food and no kids! Virgin has a one-star Michelin chef onboard. Celebrity is very similar to top all-inclusive hotels. The service is top-notch and they have the best sea casino. I love smaller, luxury river cruises through Europe as well. You definitely need to experience Greece on a cruise. There are lots of small places that day trips are perfect for. Royal Caribbean's Caribbean island cruises are also great. I really love to cruise from California to Hawaii & Tahiti. I have also been on a 26-day cruise from Sydney Australia to San Francisco visiting all the islands along the way. Cruising is not the best option for people who want to experience all the nightlife of a city, however, certain cruises that go to places like Greece and Ibiza have night stops for travelers to enjoy the nightlife.  What are your favorite all-inclusive resorts or resort locations?Xcaret Mexico is one that I personally love. I believe it has the best beaches in Mexico and so many choices for food. They have literally a market where everything is fresh every morning, and when you walk towards the market, you just smell it ahead of you. The scenery is incredible. People always mention sandals. Some sandals are very nice and some are not great. In Jamaica, for example, they have a brand new Sandals Resort that is out of this world beautiful, but it's pretty expensive. It has water bungalows where the floor is transparent glass, and you can see the water and the fish. You also have your own little pool, and jacuzzi included in your bungalow. That is an experience everyone should do at least once. Many couples vacation there for honeymoons and anniversaries. Also, Bora Bora is perfect for travelers who love beaches and beautiful scenery on the water. Fiji is the fanciest spot. All hotels here are all-inclusive, butler included! You can only stay four nights maximum on the island and it costs eight to twelve thousand dollars a night—usually, people island-hop after stopping in Fiji. Fiji trips need to be booked a year and a half in advance. Tell us more about your business, Dream Vacations.I became a travel agent because people loved the places I traveled to and wanted to go themselves. I realized I needed a referral fee to set their vacations up. I've been in the travel business for several years now with Dream Vacations, a franchise under World Travel Holdings. As a luxury travel concierge, I go beyond basic planning to create customized, seamless experiences for my clients. My goal is to make every trip unforgettable. The best part for the customer is it doesn't cost them extra to use a travel agent. What most people do not know is travel agent service fees are always included in your booking fee whether you use a travel agent or not. Using a travel agent like me, you do not lose any extra money in fees and you can find the best cruises, hotels, and trips in the world!What does your planning process look like?It all starts with a conversation. I ask my clients about their interests, goals, group size, and must-have sites and experiences. From there, I focus on delivering value and finding options that balance quality and budget. I use Dream Vacations to book travel and activities while keeping an eye out for deals without compromising a high-quality experience.Lastly, where can our readers find and connect with you?You can find me on Instagram and Facebook at @NickMonardTravel or visit my website at dreamvacations.com. Feel free to reach out for tips or to start planning your next adventure!Travel Brats, if you're looking for inspiration or help planning your dream getaway, Nick is your guy! Until next time, happy travel bratting!

Sie war noch nie auf einer Kreuzfahrt, Segeln ist eher ihr Ding. Die Vorstellung einer überdimensionierten Hotelanlage, die als Schiff getarnt übers Meer tuckert, war für sie, wie für viele andere, nicht einladend. Aber es gibt Kreuzfahrten und Kreuzfahrten und es gibt Schiffe und Schiffe. Zum ersten Mal cruiste Seazen-Autorin Bettina Mitter mit dem Boutique-Schiff Ovation der Seabourn zu einigen der schönsten europäischen Hafenstädte: Antwerpen, Rotterdam, Oslo, Göteborg, Kopenhagen. Auf der Bühne erzählt sie von ihren persönlichen Erfahrungen und spricht mit Kreuzfahrtexperten über die heutigen Herausforderungen der Branche und die Entwicklungen und Wünsche für die Zukunft.Haben Sie Freude an Reisen und guter Lektüre?

Looking at reviews before heading off on Seabourn Venture, one of the new expedition ships from the ultra-luxury Seabourn line, I was concerned when I saw recent reviews calling it disappointing, saying it had unappealing food, the entertainment was abysmal, and the decor felt downscale versus other Seabourn ships. This is what I discovered when I went.

We are talking about Maxine's recent cruise to Antarctica on Seabourn Venture. . Welcome to this week's Cruise Chat! If you find value in this video and wish to help this channel, you can donate using this link: https://bit.ly/KathleenPenner. . Video Requests: info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com. . I loved meeting with Maxine and learning more about the Seabourn expedition experience. . Why Choose Seabourn? Seabourn is a luxury small-ship company with five luxury ships and two luxury expedition ships travelling to remote destinations. Their vessels have a capacity of 458 to 604 guests, and the expedition ships have 264 guests. You will have the intimacy of a small ship experience combined with luxury and amenities. . This ship has a beautiful infinity pool, and it would be fabulous to soak in the warm water as you sail past glaciers and ice peaks. There is something magical about that! . One of the expedition ships goes to the Arctic, and one goes to the South Pacific & Australia and the Antarctic, while the other heads to the Amazon. So they can be in the med, and they can be in Brazil and the Caribbean. The infinity pools are very multi-purpose! In the lower hemisphere, you can sail from November until March, as it is their summer, with more extended daylight and pleasant temperatures. . In this week's episode, we talked about Maxine's experience with Antarctica. She talked about being out on the deck and celebrating with the included champagne as you toast to seeing land. . Seabourn has 100% veranda outside suites. The suites start at 350 square feet and have a walk-in closet, a large bathroom with marble, a soaker tub, and a shower with double sinks. . They are luxury! . Sitting on the deck, you can snuggle under a blanket provided while enjoying your views of Antarctica. . Getting from Ship to shore is easy and efficient with Zodiacs—heavy-duty inflatable sides. You will make a wet landing and step into the water with the provided boots to keep you dry. Your welcoming party will be Penguins! Now that's a great welcome! . You will also be provided with Helly Hansen Parkas - which is yours to keep. . You can hike from 8:00 a.m. until 10:00 a.m. - it's self-guided. You don't see everyone else in the photos because you are divided into groups and take turns disembarking from the ship. Everyone goes at their own pace. You are asked not to get too close to the wildlife, but they come close to you! . When you return to the ship, all your clothing and boots will be stored in the mud room, where everyone has a locker. The Mud Room is attached to the Landing Zone. . Seabourn Venture and its expedition ships are open to people of all ages. On Maxine's voyage, there was a six-year-old and an 86-year-old. Six is the youngest age allowed on Seabourn's Expedition ships. . One of the best activities I and many others would want to do is the polar plunge! You jump off the side of the Ship. Once you come back onboard, you can sit in the hot tub or head to the sauna. I would like this because it is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and you can warm up fast! . This is perfect for single cruises because you will always share experiences with others while cruising alone. It is a social atmosphere because it's small and intimate, and you make lifelong friends through shared experiences. . Please reach out to me to book your cruise! I want you to be on board. You will be forever changed by this experience, just as Maxine was. . If you want to learn more about Seabourn or any other cruise lines I have met with, please email me at info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com. .

Foreword by Todd HovermaleIntroduction of Arnold by John LydayJoin host Gene Cunningham and guest Arnold Donald, Retired Vice Chairman and CEO of Carnival Corporation as they discuss the challenges Arnold faced as CEO and his path to the position. This conversation is an excerpt from the 2023 Bayer International Business Conference that took place on December 6, 2022, at Saint Louis University.Arnold Donald is former Vice-Chair of Carnival Corporation & PLC, the world's largest cruise company.  Their nine world leading cruise brands -- Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America, Princess, Seabourn, AIDA, Costa, Cunard, P&O UK, and P&O Australia -- are based throughout North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.  Carnival Corporation & PLC is included in both the S&P500 and the FTSE 100 indices and trades on both the New York and London Stock Exchanges.

In this episode of The Real ResQ, host Jason Quinn is joined by Martha LaGuardia-Kotite, a retired U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Captain.   Growing up in Destin, Florida, she loved being on the water. Around graduation, her dad mentioned the USCG, “because he wasn't paying for college.” That was all the coercion she needed. With the idea of helping save lives, she was in!  The first rescue effort she remembers happened while she was still a cadet. LaGuardia-Kotite was assigned to a ship in Key West, Florida, for a patrol around the southeast area of U.S. waters. While out on patrol, her ship came upon a Haitian ship trying to immigrate to the U.S.   Later in the conversation, she tells about her experience as one of the first female officers to serve aboard two Coast Guard cutters with all male crews. On those deployments they patrolled the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. LaGuardia-Kotite also speaks about how she came to write five books, including the award-winning So Others May Live – Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers Saving Lives, Defying Death – which Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher used for their roles in the movie, The Guardian. Two of her other books are titled, My Name is Old Glory and Changing the Rules of Engagement.  The conversation concludes by talking about the “hobby” she has now. LaGuardia-Kotite is driving Zodiac MK6s for the Seabourn cruise ship company, bringing passengers right up to glaciers and around humpback whales and Orcas. For her, it's a great way to spend retirement.
