The vivid wines of New Zealand have won widespread cheers from critics and consumers in recent years. As Lynn Langway discovers, even seasoned oenophiles find something new to discover in these New World wine regions.

My husband and I encounter a learning moment while sipping

our way through New Zealand. When an English gentleman joins us at a tasting bar, we enthuse about the unoaked chardonnay being poured. He refuses to be impressed: “You cannot possibly take these wines seriously!” he thunders, causing a few drinkers to slosh their samples. “They have screwtops!”

Sorry, old chap, but screwtops are the future of wine and New Zealand is a pioneer in this movement. Most agree the metal closures permit wine to be stored longer and shipped farther without leaking or turning from decaying corks. New Zealand now caps more

than 90 percent of its wines with screwtops and other countries are following suit.

Iconoclastic Kiwis are shaking up the Old World of wines with their fresh, fruit-driven whites and reds — often produced from organic and biodynamic grapes — and this trend is easily explored by driving the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. This route traverses regions where more than 80 percent of the country’s wine is produced, offering opportunities to discover vintages at more than 120 cellar doors, and delight in luxury lodgings where stunning scenery and farm-to-table cuisine are natural extensions of the experience.

As this epic driving journey comes to an end, it’s clear that few places in the world can rival New Zealand for its outstanding wines paired with breathtaking beauty and friendly locals who welcome us so wholeheartedly. From vintners proudly pouring their favorite bottle to esteemed chefs matching every dish with sommelier-selected vintages, an immersion into these wine regions offers us a refreshing take on an age-old craft.

Hawke’s Bay The Farm at Cape Kidnappers

The wine trail begins in Hawke’s Bay on the eastern coast of the North Island. Terroir ranges from gravelly coast to clay-and-limestone hill country, and 70-plus wineries are acclaimed for producing some of our favorite Bordeaux-style blends of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and malbec. Nearby is the Art Deco town of Napier, as well as the world’s largest and most accessible gannet colony where you can watch thousands of these birds skydiving into the sea. At The Farm at Cape Kidnappers — an enchanting resort where 22 suites look over a dramatic headland jutting into the Pacific Ocean — a 6,000-acre farm supplies the ingredients for meals such as duck glazed with manuka honey paired with rare selections from its own cellar.

It’s a scenic 170-mile drive from coastal Napier to the inland Martinborough region, where the soil and climate is similar to Burgundy, best known for pinot noir. Since

these boutique pinot noirs are not widely available in the U.S., we’re surprised and intrigued by the intense, savory quality found in some of the 54-plus wineries in Martinborough and the surrounding Wairarapa region. It’s possible to compare these unique pinots with the French originals in a master class at Wharekauhau Lodge. Farmers at the 13-cottage lodge still rear heritage sheep and cattle on 5,500 acres overlooking Palliser Bay. Here, homegrown provisions come from the executive chef, Marc Soper, who once cooked at The French Laundry and is known for creative flourishes in dishes like lamb with fennel custard. Just about two hours away lives the largest seal colony on the North Island and the Cape Palliser Lighthouse overlooks the South Pacific.

The Classic New Zealand Wine Trail spans two islands connected by a scenic ferry that delivers us across the Cook Strait from

Wellington to Picton. We enjoy the swift drive to sun-drenched Blenheim, the heart of the Marlborough region. As the country’s leading wine area, Marlborough produces 77 percent of the nation’s wine, most of them celebrated sauvignon blancs that helped put New Zealand on the wine map. Beyond the “sauvs,” we also sample spicy pinots noirs now being grown, as well as the elegant rieslings and pinot blancs of neighboring Nelson — plus singular local seafood like green-shelled mussels. Luxurious seclusion exists at Edenhouse, a sanctuary that includes two suites within the main house and one freestanding cottage surrounded by 50 acres of gardens — designed by host Bobbie Martin and her husband, Peter — tucked into a valley outside Nelson. Outdoor adventures range from kayaking and swimming with baby seals in Abel Tasman National Park to cycling the Great Taste Trail to some of Nelson’s 37 boutique wineries.

one more pour

CENTRAL OTAGOIf you thirst for more tempting wines at trail’s end — plus unfettered views of New Zealand’s breathtaking mountain scenery — head south to Queenstown and the highest, most southerly vineyards in New Zealand. Glacial soil and dramatic climate shifts from short, hot summers to wintry snow combine to give the silken pinot noirs and aromatic whites of Central Otago intriguing complexity.

A river cruise aboard AmaWaterways’ Bordeaux wine itinerary takes you into the heart of France’s treasured lands, connecting you with châteaux and vineyards, highlighted by a deep connection to the terroir of Bordeaux’s world-renowned wine culture.

Following an enriching two-night stay in Paris, stop in Cadillac, where the Garonne River surrounds you with low bridges set aglow by the reflected midday sun. Chart a course deeper in the heart of France and dock overnight in the town of Pauillac poised on the Left Bank of the Gironde estuary, where dinner aboard the 148-passenger AmaDolce is a sumptuous affair: four courses of Chaîne Des Rôtisseurs cuisine at the Chef’s Table are paired with regional wines selected by the ship’s wine host, himself a well-respected vintner.

Your journey continues on to sample the famed merlots of St. Émilion and into Bordeaux, the capital of the wine world, from where you might wish to venture into Cognac

— birthplace of the eponymous spirit — before you disembark in the Loire Valley for two nights ashore. Ample free time allows you to seek out the restaurants tucked into medieval streets that serve Selles-sur-Cher goat cheese and pork pâté, perfect opportunities to research how regional wines complement the local culinary delicacies.

A Bordeaux river cruise is just one of AmaWaterways’ signature wine cruises that immerse you in Europe’s most renowned gastronomic regions. Make your way between Europe’s cultural capitals and charming vineyards, peppering each stop with encounters that appeal to adventure-minded travelers with a penchant for the finer things in life.

AmaWaterways offers two more river cruise programs in France: Paris & Normandy on the Seine River and Provence & Spain on the Rhône River. No matter which of Europe’s historic wine regions you choose to explore, your immersion begins the moment you

step on board to a champagne reception, and continues with guided wine excursions to prized cellars, wine tastings and pairings, and lectures from esteemed vintners hosting your sailing. While gliding through the Douro River Valley aboard AmaVida, pause in the Portuguese city of Porto to gain insight into its famous port wine with a private vintner visit. You set the pace on your small-group excursions, from delving deep into quintas (wine estates) to marveling over Portugal’s Baroque churches and medieval hilltop villages. Tastings of the dessert wine and other varietals continue back on board as your host expertly pours hand-selected wines alongside vintages from his own winery.

Or snake through the Rhine’s tributaries in Germany, hemmed by steep green hills tangled with vineyards. Your arrival in Rüdesheim places you in the winemaking locus of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley. Of course, tasting white wine is a focus of the

Onboard dining day’s events: disembark in a verdant village on the banks and meet a local vintner who explains how his growing traditions date back to Roman times before offering a taste of his rieslings, ranging from dry to sweet and even sparkling. Travel the beautiful Danube through four European countries and stunning Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site offering a rich array of wine-related history and culture. A Viennese rustic wine tavern greets you with traditional folk music and an opportunity to sample newly pressed locally grown wine.

There’s a distinctive sense of refinement that permeates each of AmaWaterways’ 19 elegant ships, and an all-inclusive philosophy that extends from the choice of complimentary guided tours in port including hiking, biking and culinary excursions, to the freely flowing fine

wines always available during lunch and dinner.

With a fleet specially designed to navigate rivers, every vessel in the luxurious European collection is limited to fewer than 165 passengers, providing an intimate atmosphere with personalized extras: your attentive cruise manager knows you by name, a favorite bartender has memorized your preferred pour and like-minded travelers become the familiar faces of friends.

Features like onboard massage services and evening entertainment are only the beginning. Your needs and interests always take center stage, from the grape-to-glass pursuits that lead you on unforgettable explorations of each port to the comprehensive onboard care that imbues every moment of your journey.

Finding TogethernessAmaWaterways’ river cruises are ideal for travelers going solo. On every sailing in Europe, Asia and Africa, single supplements are waived in select double-occupancy staterooms, when available. Mingle during a cocktail reception and welcome dinner, and find friends on complimentary excursions. Meet new companions at cooking demonstrations and themed dinners. By the time the Captain’s Gala Dinner concludes your sailing, you’ll have made memories — and friendships — for a lifetime.

Your African safari should be the journey of a lifetime, worthy of attention to every detail. Certainly, a cadre of can’t-miss activities is essential to experiencing this vast landscape: seen in person, the cheetah-patrolled rainforests that surround Ngorongoro Crater are breathtaking, just as the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya is a sure bet for spectacular wildlife spotting. While each of these episodes are included in many East Africa itineraries, the true exceptionalism of a bespoke safari lies in the rare moments that remain unrevealed to most visitors. Curating customized safaris is where Micato Safaris shines, bringing forth special moments that you may not have even known were within reach. Continued on page 14

Kenya, tribe memberSource: KTB

Start at the TopSoon after your arrival in Nairobi, you’re welcomed to the Lavington House, home of Felix and Jane Pinto — Micato’s founders and your personal liaisons in Africa. Over a lunch of Kenyan cuisine prepared with ingredients from the Pinto family farm, you’re treated to shared stories and a camaraderie that enfolds you in the family’s far-reaching connections.

You’ll quickly see just how uncommon your experience is when you’re taken on a personal tour of David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. An introduction to Dame Daphne Sheldrick starts with her story of beginning this conservation foundation and animal orphanage to honor her husband, the founding warden of Tsavo National Park. Inspired by Dame Daphne’s mission to raise infant elephants and re-integrate parentless rhinos into the wild, your private encounter with these extraordinary creatures may conclude with

a very special “adoption” of one of the calves that will one day roam the plains freely.

Even more animal interaction is found at the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife’s Giraffe Centre. Rare Rothschild giraffes are the focus at this facility where they graze on over 120 acres of forested land just outside of Nairobi. Imagine offering a carrot or salt block while eye-to-eye with one of these sky-high species (they’re courteous enough to bend to your level), knowing that the Giraffe Centre has facilitated conservation of over 50 of the fewer than 1,500 creatures left on earth.

As you delve even further into East Africa, set your sights on lesser-known locales. Decide on a sojourn through the Laikipia Plateau Reserve for your day’s adventure, and your safari director instantly makes the necessary arrangements. Straddling the equator, the plains give way to cedar forests and basalt deposits, forming a

landscape of untamed beauty that’s home to an impressive collection of residents. Though it may strike you as a mirage, it’s not unusual to sight a rare black rhino rumbling through this frontier — this is one of their last strongholds, plus one of the few places in the world to see the horned Jackson’s hartebeest.

An opportunity to fortify Africa’s conservation efforts is a fitting follow-up to a day’s safari: join in planting acacia trees at the Segera ranch in the middle of the Laikipia Plateau, or accompany a ranger on a ride-along to track elephants in the major migratory corridor.

Bespoke Journeys, Created for YouFor an itinerary tailored exactly to your interests, any classic trip can be transformed into a private family departure suited to all ages, or you can custom design a safari based on your interests.

Picture-Perfect OutingsPhotography buffs get the greatest shots throughout Kenya and Tanzania on a photo safari in partnership with Lindblad Expeditions. An all-window seat safari vehicle with a hatch roof offers unobstructed angles, while built-in free time allows for downloading and editing the day’s best photos. Capture a sunrise on the savanna in the morning and wild game basking in the gentle afternoon light on drives through Serengeti National Park with a trained spotter.

Artful EducationPrefer to appreciate art instead of make it? Meet Carol Lees, director of One Off Contemporary Art Gallery, and peruse her collection dedicated to exhibiting East African artists. More traditional forms of creativity are on display in designer Anna Trzebinski’s studio, where tribal women stitch intricate beadwork onto pashminas and sandals. The Pinto family also maintains personal ties with jeweler Gemini Desai, affording you an exclusive opportunity to try on her necklaces fashioned from ancient trade beads.

Epicurean DelightsA culinary safari of South Africa’s Cape Winelands merges the unspoiled wilds with exquisite gastronomic finds. Between sipping pinotage at cellar doors in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, your home is Richard Branson’s boutique hotel and vineyard, Mont Rochelle. Be treated to decadent dining at Delaire Graff Estate, or sample your way through the artisanal cheeses and chocolates of the region.

Whether the safari you seek is one that lends insight on culture, conservation or personal passions, Micato delivers flawlessly. Let us build the itinerary of your dreams to ensure that your every move through Africa is led by insightful tour directors, hosts and guides who embody ukarimu (the Swahili sentiment of welcoming kindness) and is replete with authentic and purposeful takeaways.

Stellenbosch, South Africa

Meaningful Connections As a part of Micato Safaris’ dedicated nonprofit, Micato-AmericaShare, you’ll see a slice of Nairobi life not normally apparent to visitors. Visit the slum of Mukuru where children attend school thanks to Micato’s One for One Commitment, which underwrites a child’s education for every safari sold, or tour the Harambee Centre erected by past patrons — a hub for studying, community programs and friendly basketball games.

Stay Among the WildlifeCozied onto the 32,000-acre Thornybush Private Game Reserve is the Royal Malewane, where each of the colonial-style rooms boasts a private deck, and each suite has its own pool. The separate Africa House is designed for up to 12 guests: staffed with a chef, bush tracker and butler, it’s the preferred choice for families and close friends. You might glimpse a giraffe sipping from the watering hole as you enjoy a full breakfast in the elegant main lodge, or sight a zebra during your walking safari within the greater Kruger National Park. You’re sure to capture frame-worthy images on Royal Malewane’s photographic safari vehicle, with adjustable camera gimbals and expert guides to guarantee the best possible shots. Later, relive the experience as

you delight in a moonlit Boma dinner. The Chaîne des Rôtisseurs-recognized cuisine is served by torchlight in this traditional enclosure hemmed by the forested bush

Who wouldn’t want to follow in the footsteps of Sir Richard Branson? You can with a stay at the mogul’s Ulusaba Private Game Reserve, located in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. Peer beyond the bushveld all the way to the Drakensberg Mountains while nestled into the Rock Lodge, or enjoy privacy in its two-bedroom suite, the Cliff Lodge. Another option is the Safari Lodge with its 11 rooms, some of which are connected by swing bridges. From beneath the thatched roof of the Treehouse Suite, overlooking the Xikwenga Dam, you’ll enjoy views of the animals making their way to the nearby watering hole. Also lofted over

the savanna, the Aroma Boma spa suffuses indigenous rooibos tea and aloe into soothing therapies.

Enriching SurroundsYou’ll get a richer sense of South Africa’s cultural keystones when you’re immersed in its vibrant cities. Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is home to upscale shopping and an open-air amphitheater. One&Only Cape Town places you in the center, under the watchful majesty of Table Mountain. Interiors are as fashionable as the city and are some of Cape Town’s most spacious. Locals are drawn to One&Only Cape Town, clamoring for the coveted Tasting Table and versatile wine list at Reuben’s restaurant and contemporary Japanese cuisine at the famed Nobu restaurant.

A sophisticated history exists at the Saxon Hotel, Villas and Spa, once host to former South African president and Nobel Prize-winner Nelson Mandela while he penned his autobiography. The 4,305-square-foot Nelson Mandela Platinum Suite is a fitting tribute, embellished with original works by emerging local artists placed side-by-side with African artifacts. It’s tempting to stay on the hotel’s grounds, indulging in treatments at The Saxon Spa and Studio and sampling synergistic fare — often sourced from the rooftop garden.

But this upscale corner merits exploration with surprising charms including artists’ studios and markets profuse with native crafts.

Gastronomic RetreatsSouth Africa offers still more within its fertile wine country and sea breeze-blanketed towns. Within plum orchards and vineyards, La Residence is the gateway into the Cape Winelands, under an hour from Cape Town. The classic French-style estate calls the town of Franschhoek home, where restaurants and cellar doors embody wine-country elegance. The hotel itself exceeds expectations: Persian rugs lie beneath four-poster beds and chandeliers hang from the ceilings of five Vineyard Suites, set apart from 11 other

rooms in the East and West wings. The estate surrounds you with olive trees and grapevines, and viticulture even permeates the menu at the Franschhoek Spa with wine therapy body treatments.

Less than two hours’ drive from Cape Town are the majestic cliffs overlooking Walker Bay in Hermanus. Enjoy unobstructed sea views at the boutique Birkenhead House, comprised of 11 guest suites. The restaurant serves up local food like smoked Franschhoek fish and a spread of local cheese and honeycomb at breakfast. A seaside stroll follows cliff paths to prime spots for spotting southern right whales from May to December. Swim in the breakers or soak in your freestanding bath, and spend your evenings

sampling seafood during a sundowner gazing over the shimmering waters.

Australia is renowned for its diverse experiences from its cosmopolitan coastal hubs to the rugged interior of the Outback. Yet over 8,000 smaller islands fringe the continent’s coasts, offering laid-back beaches, water adventures and intriguing wildlife.

Aboriginal heritage on Australia’s Top EndShould you seek immersion into Australia’s indigenous culture, venture into islands sprinkled off the coast of the Northern Territory. On the Tiwi Islands of Bathurst and Melville, nearly 90 percent of inhabitants are of Aboriginal descent. You’re invited to Bathurst Island’s Tiwi Designs to learn how artists’ works have developed over more than 7,000 years — in traditions quite distinctive from mainland artistic influences. Browse among ochre paintings and brightly decorated pukamani burial poles, or work side-by-side with a textile artist. More Aboriginal heritage exists in Arnhem Land and its neighboring islands. You can learn their stories at Elcho Island Arts, a center that celebrates the work of over 200 local Yolŋgu artists. Nature lovers can venture into the wilderness of Arnhem Land with a local guide who reveals ancient secrets of mud crabbing and spear fishing in your watery surrounds,

or set out on a private boat tour to spot 42 species of birds circling above Bremer Island. Below (and above) the surface in the Great Barrier Reef You needn’t be a certified diver to recognize the spectacular riches of the Great Barrier Reef’s 900 islands, as snorkeling is one of the best ways to sightsee below the surface. Magnetic Island is one of the most accessible areas: over 23 bays and beaches offer limitless excursions into wrecks and reefs, and we recommend wading into Picnic Bay by way of the palm-lined beach. On Hamilton Island, swim with sea turtles, some of the ocean’s most magnificent creatures, on a Deep Water Turtle Discovery tour. To recharge from all your underwater exploration, you don’t ever have to leave the sea: One&Only Hayman Island resort pampers with 90 minutes of blissful massage delivered to you as you float above the Great Barrier Reef.

on the reef, Australian ingredients shine at Salt Water Restaurant, and we can arrange a sunset beach picnic of seven mouthwatering courses paired with local wines.

Perfect views of Sydney Harbour Believe it or not, the best view of Sydney’s skyline isn’t from atop the Harbour Bridge; rather, it’s found on the grass tennis courts of Cockatoo Island. A 10-minute ferry ride from the mainland is a cluster of uninhabited sandstone knolls scattered in Sydney Harbour. A standout among the eight islands, Cockatoo Island — a World Heritage site — has been transformed into a low-key playground, where we’ll reserve you a coveted slot on Cockatoo Island’s tennis courts, which sit on the upper island to deliver unexpectedly picturesque views overlooking Sydney and the Harbour Bridge. Spend the night in a safari bow tent on the island’s edge and emerge from camp to take in views of Sydney at sunrise.

An unexpected mix on Phillip Island Within day-tripping distance from Melbourne lies a real surprise: Phillip Island’s Grand Prix Circuit, where Australian racing was revived in 1951. You can take the laps yourself in a luxury BMW or hop in a five-point harness race car with a professional in the driver’s seat. Once the adrenaline abates, it’s time to explore the island’s more wildlife-centered attractions: a parade of little penguins takes place daily at dusk when the tuxedoed birds return to their nests on Summerland Beach, and the Koala Conservation Centre invites you to come face-to-face with the native

marsupials in their natural treetop habitat. Phillip Island is also steadily gaining a reputation as a culinary hotbed. Take a rainbow trout fishing lesson from the eco-friendly experts at Rhyll Trout & Bush Tucker Farm, sample some of the 190 confections produced at Pannys Phillip Island Chocolate Factory before concocting your own custom candy and explore the cool-climate varietals at several wineries.

Tasmania’s gourmet sideThe island-state of Tasmania lies off the southern coast of Australia’s mainland and encompasses a surprisingly diverse wonderland that wends from World Heritage wilderness to charming coastal climes. With such an array of resources, local and sustainable dining is a natural way of life on Tasmania. Organic produce is a fixture on both sophisticated restaurant menus and at roadside farm stands. A walking tour of Hobart tempts your

palate with samples of fresh-caught oysters and a soft wheel of “Saint” at Bruny Island Cheese Company. Learn how local mongers make these delectable morsels during a cheese-making class at The Agrarian Kitchen, housed in a former schoolhouse just 30 minutes from Hobart. If you prefer to pursue the nectars of Tasmania, follow the Cider Trail to taste how producers put the state’s annual 55,000 tons of apples to good use, and sample cool-climate wines that have been lauded since the 19th century.

“Only in Australia” encounters on Kangaroo Island It should come as no surprise that one of the best places to spot Australia’s iconic kangaroos is on South Australia’s Kangaroo Island, specifically in the 5,000-acre Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. Included in your stay at the ultra-luxurious Southern Ocean Lodge are daily wildlife excursions: tiptoe

Arnhem Land, Northern Territory Penguin Parade, Phillip Island, VictoriaHarbour Bridge, Sydney, New South Wales The Agrarian Kitchen, Tasmania

VIP Moment: Explore the waters that separate Sydney Harbour from its archipelago. We’ll arrange a unique opportunity to helm an 1850s-style America’s Cup yacht for a regatta experience that sails to secret inlets — no maritime credentials required.

EXPERIENCE IT


through old-growth forests on a guided nocturnal tour to see kangaroos and porcupine-like echidnas at their most active time. Approximately a third of Kangaroo Island is protected, and while you’re busy making your way from the sand dunes of Little Sahara to the signature Remarkable Rocks in Flinders Chase National Park you may cross paths with more than one wallaby or opossum. This island is also revered for its locally produced goods, its honey in particular: Kangaroo Island is the oldest bee sanctuary in the world and is home to the only pure strain of ligurian bees, while the Hanson Bay Wildlife Sanctuary comprises 20,000 acres of apiaries.

Meet the quirky quokkas of Rottnest Island The journey is just as meaningful as the destination as you cross the 12 miles of Indian Ocean separating Rottnest Island

from Western Australia’s city of Fremantle, near Perth. Aboard a catamaran, tuck into a ploughman’s lunch or plunge into the balmy waters from the ship’s swim platform.

Prefer to arrive at your destination in mere minutes? A chartered plane from Perth stuns with aerial scenery and delivers you

directly to Rottnest Island. On the car-free island, rent a bicycle to cruise alongside any one of the island’s 63 beaches and pause to encounter quokkas. This little marsupial is known as the “world’s happiest animal” for the permanent smile affixed to its furry face. They live only in Western Australia and over 8,000 quokkas call “Rotto” home. To sight a much more massive creature, time your visit between September and November when you’re most likely to glimpse a humpback whale migrating off the coast.

Australia’s islands offer secret, off-the-beaten-trail encounters and surprising forays that foster a deeper appreciation for this vast and varied continent. Whether you’re seeking up-close encounters with wildlife, an epicurean tasting tour or a meaningful chance to connect with locals over Aboriginal customs, we can customize an island escape that explores Australia anew.

What if you could retreat from the bustle of a cruise ship into a private space carved out for you? Step inside The Haven, an innovative concept on several Norwegian Cruise Line® ships, including the new 4,248-passenger Norwegian Escape.® This exclusive “ship within a ship” space was designed for discerning cruisers who seek the amenities of a large ship but crave the intimacy of a smaller vessel.

It’s tempting to spend all your time lounging in your spacious suite or relaxing by the private pool and sundeck in The Haven Courtyard — even taking advantage of childcare services for kids ages six months to three years. Yet the lure of the ship’s endless activities beckon sailors of all ages: an action-packed Aqua Park and Sports Complex boasts the largest ropes course at sea and four multi-story waterslides, while adults may slip away to the three-deck

678 Ocean Place where boutique shops and a casino complement the main dining areas and specialty restaurants. With 28 unique dining experiences to choose from, one evening you might snack on authentic jamón ibérico (ham) at Pincho Tapas Bar by Jose Garces and another you’ll dine al fresco on Cuban cuisine at The Waterfront, a quarter-mile promenade that offers a front-row view of the sun setting into the sea.

Here we have an exclusive glimpse into The Haven on Norwegian Cruise Line® with concierge Adrian Bica.

What types of passengers are most attracted to The Haven?We see everyone from couples to friends traveling together. We also see large numbers of families with several generations traveling together — everyone has the ability to book based on their taste or budget while being included in the family vacation.

What is the first thing The Haven guests typically experience?The moment our guests step into the terminal they enter The Haven lounge for priority check-in. From there, they receive a personal escort on board and a priority elevator to The Haven.

We’ll handle the unpacking so guests can start enjoying their vacation immediately.

What services do passengers find surprising? In-suite dining from specialty restaurants like Cagney’s continues to be a favorite feature that many guests do not know is available until they step on board. Many people also love the courtyard valet service, where we bring food and beverages as they relax poolside.

What would you say are the most valuable features about The Haven? You don’t have to leave the complex at all if you don’t want to. The exclusive dining experience in The Haven Restaurant, private pool and sundeck are just a few of the most valuable amenities.

see israel through the eyes of its artisans, whose creative offerings are rooted in tradition while imparting modern sensibilities. While this nation is revered for its religious and historical significance, it’s the sophisticated artistry of its locals that take travelers by surprise.

Israel’s innovative side is most easily viewed through its culinary culture and local food markets. Scores of vendors line the pathways of Shuk HaCarmel (Carmel Market) in Tel Aviv where you’ll sample cold-pressed olive oil and creamy goat cheese in boutique shops. At Machane Yehuda Market in Tel Aviv, don’t miss sweet tahini halva from Halva Kingdom, which relies

on ancient methods of grinding Ethiopian sesame seeds between two stones.

This same artisanal spirit spirals its way up to Israel’s fine-dining scene as innovative chefs fuse global flavors to create contemporary dishes. In Tel Aviv, the heart of nouveau Israeli cuisine, indulge in fresh local seafood like crispy octopus at the tiny Jajo Wine Bar or sashimi with confit mussels at Chef Meir Adoni’s celebrated restaurant, Catit. Seek out creative dining at Jerusalem’s open-kitchen Machneyuda, where a trio of chefs put a playful spin on Israeli classics in dishes like “shawarma tartar.”

Wine culture has been tied to this land since Biblical times, yet its current reinterpretations

emerged when a member of the Rothschild family established Carmel Winery in 1882. One of the most accessible wine regions is just outside of Jerusalem — here, vintners at the family-run Domaine du Castel handpick Bordeaux-style grapes on hills facing the Mediterranean. At Tishbi Winery, a short drive up the coast from Tel Aviv, pair a full-bodied cabernet sauvignon with delectable morsels of French Valrhona chocolate.

Whether you’re seeking local encounters that complement a spiritual pilgrimage or crave a journey focused on the country’s artisanal offerings, we’re here to connect you with each facet that defines modern-day Israel.

a cultural journey Visit the intimate galleries and homegrown cafés where Israel’s energy shines through.

♦Jerusalem’s Museum on the Seam is a socio-political contemporary art museum; check out the stunning views of the city from the rooftop café.

♦Eclectic artist Ilana Goor recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her eponymous museum in Old Jaffa, where more than 500 works are on display.

♦ In Jerusalem, Nocturno café shares space with the Designers in the City complex; snack on something from the kosher kitchen and peruse 20-plus studios displaying works from fashion to jewelry and pottery.

♦Enjoy people-watching on Ben-Yehuda Street, where street performers mix with young Jerusalem locals chatting in sidewalk cafés.

Pair elegant service with the unspoiled setting of Maui’s Polo Beach, formed by two sandy crescents, and you’ll understand why The Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui is an island paradise. This all-suite and villa retreat on the southern shores of Wailea remains at the ready with prompt attention from a knowledgeable concierge, around-the-clock room service and even a fitness center accessible at any hour. Indeed, wellness at The Fairmont Kea Lani, Maui was a top consideration of the hotel’s recent renovation, which totaled $70 million. With Hawaiian treatments like a poolside scalp massage and a soothing pālolo (mud) bar, plus private yoga instruction and personal training, it’s clear why Travel + Leisure declared the 9,000-square-foot Willow Stream Spa

Hawai‘i’s best. Of course, you simply may open the door to your three-bedroom oceanfront villa for in-room pampering that brings the kaulike (internal balance) right to you. Little ones enjoy their own special treatment at Keiki Lani Kid’s Club, a playful space where children can construct erupting volcanoes or take a hula lesson. Dining at Kō restaurant caters to each taste, whether you’re wishing for freshly caught seafood steamed in tī leaves or Executive Chef Tylun Pang’s plantation-inspired recipes such as lamb chops marinated in a coconut curry and garnished with tropical mango salsa. For an even more ethereal experience, a Twilight Dinner is downright heavenly, delivering Kō favorites to a private cabana under the spangled night sky.

enjoy at your leisure, you also have the freedom to let others provide everything on your behalf. Devoted service delivers on your every desire, whether you’re craving a fruit kebab beside the infinity pool, a leisurely round on the croquet lawn or a chartered Hobie Cat sailboat to navigate neighboring islands and cays. While you’re out to sea, kids are entertained at the Conch Kritters Club which keeps them busy hunting for lizards or seizing on tropical breezes with kite-flying contests. Further your indulgent time at The Spa at The Palms, a 25,000-square-foot haven, with an indigenous

mother of pearl body exfoliation: hand-crushed queen conch shells scrub your skin while the calming sound of water serenades you. If your idea of island indulgence is more active, opt for a horseback ride trotting along the water’s edge and splashing into the sea at full speed.
