Welcome to the latest issue of our regular travel
magazine where we hope to stimulate your travel taste
buds with a varied selection of worldwide holiday ideas
and destinations to treat yourself, partner, family or a
group of friends to a well-earned break.
It is always refreshing to be able to feature new places
and it is with great pleasure that we showcase the newly
opened Regent Porto Montenegro. Similarly, D-Hotel
Maris is a relative newcomer, but following many
reviews from happy guests this summer, it is sure to be
one of the hot shots for 2015. The location on the Datca
Peninsula is simply stunning.
In this issue we conclude our two-part spotlight on the
“Golden State” of California looking at the Northern
circuit working around the sights starting in San
Francisco and ending up at one with nature in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains.
Of course, no issue would be complete without some
reference to tropical climes and we hope this issue will
not disappoint those looking for an escape to the sun as
we head both west to the Caribbean and east to The
Maldives. We also travel down to South Africa for an
excellent combination of Safari and Winelands
gastronomy in the company of Sir Richard Branson.
Finally, in keeping with our regular look at the world of
luxury cruising, we embark on a tour of luxury hotel barge
cruising, as featured in Rick Stein’s “French Odyssey” BBC
TV series. We also review the forthcoming introduction in
2015 of the new Suite Class on Celebrity Cruises.
Whether you are looking for a “trip of a lifetime”, a beach
getaway, a luxury city break or just news on some of the
world’s finest hotels and resorts we are sure this issue
will inspire you, so sit back, have a read, then give us a
call to discuss your travel plans.
