Essential Portugal
Custom Designed | 10 Days
Portugal has a timeless quality that enchants all kinds of visitors. As one of Europe's oldest countries, many of Portugal's attractions have existed for hundreds or thousands of years. Perched on the southwest corner of Europe, Portugal is favored with abundant sunshine and more than a hundred beaches along its extensive coastline. Wine production is one of the country's most ancient traditions, and wine enthusiasts love exploring the flourishing Douro Valley and Alentejo wine regions. Visitors to its seaside cities or villages feel as though they are at a crossroads between medieval Europe and a Mediterranean port town. Poetic and tradition-rich, Portugal serves up architecture, culture, music, cuisine, and, of course, spectacular port.
New Zealand in Style
Custom Designed | 14 Days
Visitors to New Zealand can anticipate awe-inspiring landscapes, fascinating indigenous and local culture, and a spectrum of adventurous activities. These are three of the reasons why forty million Americans have New Zealand on their list of Top Five destinations. New Zealand's landscape includes dramatic fjords, majestic glaciers, rugged mountains, lengthy coastlines, and active geothermal regions. These diverse terrains provide the background for all kinds of adventure: hiking, snorkeling, hand gliding, fishing, caving, climbing, rafting, jet boating, or sailing, to name but a few. New Zealand cities each have a unique culture, as expressed through their architecture, character, and natural setting. Learn about the Maori culture by touring tribal meeting grounds with a Maori guide. Or visit a boutique vineyard in one of the thriving wine regions of New Zealand.
Magna on the Danube
River Cruise | 13 Days
Trace the paths of kings and conquerors on this stunningly picturesque waterway and watch European history unfold as you glide along its surface. Stepping off the ship in a new city center each day is like opening a beautiful picture book. Explore a well-preserved medieval Bavarian city, tour castles and palaces, and spend a day taking in the dramatic setting where the Sound of Music was filmed. Or choose a more active approach to your journey, cycling or hiking your way to fascinating historical sites with incomparable views. The magnificent Magna, the most innovative ship on the river, boasts spacious, luxury accommodations, locally inspired cuisine, full balconies, an expansive Zen Wellness Studio, and many onboard amenities.
Grand China and the Yangtze
River Cruise | 18 Days
China is a "once in a lifetime" destination for many travelers. With its cultural riches and natural grandeur closed to the outside world for centuries, it remains a land shrouded in mystery for many travelers. With so much to see and ground to cover, I recommend a river and land cruise tour with knowledgeable guides as the best way to approach this enthralling country. You will take in unmissable sites like the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors of Xi'an. Tour sprawling Beijing, with its ancient monuments and contemporary architecture, and take in Shanghai's ultra-modern skyline. Along with these iconic sites, the Yangtze River opens a doorway to some of China's most striking landscapes and authentic cultural experiences. Your "once in a lifetime" trip will fill you with a longing to return.
