Last summer, I took a luxury Mediterranean cruise, exploring Greek and Roman ruins. Over 12 days, I followed the paths of emperors and philosophers, enjoying gourmet dining and plush accommodations. If you dream of experiencing history in comfort, this journey unfolds time at spectacular sites.

Crans-Montana, in the Swiss Alps at 1,500 meters, transformed from a tuberculosis retreat to a top ski resort since the early 20th century. Known for its sunny pistes and intermediate-friendly runs, it combines history with thrilling winter sports, attracting enthusiasts and hosting elite competitions.

In January 2025, I visited Muscat, Nizwa, and Jebel Akhdar in Oman. Muscat blended modern architecture and traditional souks, highlighting the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Mutrah Souk. Nizwa had a historic fort and a bustling livestock market. Jebel Akhdar offered stunning views and hiking. Each site reflected Oman's rich heritage and beauty, creating an unforgettable experience.

In January 2025, I enjoyed three thrilling days in Arlberg, Austria, visiting St. Anton, St. Christoph, Zürs, Lech, and Warth. The charming villages, vibrant après-ski scene, and great amenities offered an unforgettable blend of adventure and relaxation. I relished the soft powder and breathtaking landscapes of this renowned ski destination.

Spending Christmas 2024 on the Silver Spirit cruise in the Indian Ocean was unforgettable. We departed Mahe, Seychelles, visited Nosy Be and Nosy Kombo for wildlife and cuisine, explored Stone Town and the Freddie Mercury Museum in Zanzibar, and ended in Praslin, Seychelles, relaxing on Anse Lazio beach and hiking Vallée de Mai with Coco de Mer palms and diverse birdlife.

I visited Club Med Seychelles just before Christmas, where paradise meets affordability in an all-inclusive holiday. Enjoy comfortable accommodations and activities without extra costs. With stunning beaches and vibrant landscapes, the hassle-free adventure offers excellent value.

Experience Crans-Montana Winter 24-25 with the Epic Pass, your key to unlimited skiing and snowboarding. Access diverse runs and stunning views, plus explore top Swiss destinations like Verbier and Andermatt.

Boarding the Regent Seven Seas Splendor felt like entering a palace in our elegant Penthouse suite, with attentive butler service. In Salerno, we enjoyed the Irpinia Wine Experience and local churches, then explored Catania's history. We connected with serenity at the Kusadasi ruins and marveled at Santorini's iconic sites and views.

On my recent trip to Cairo, I explored three key museums: the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) in Giza, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC). Each offered a unique view of Egypt's rich history, creating a fascinating journey through time.

Ikos Porto Petro was memorable with extensive amenities. Though pricier than Club Med, its dining variety, activities, and upscale accommodations justified the cost. Ikos offers gourmet restaurants, personalized service, and vibrant entertainment for diverse tastes, unlike Club Med’s fixed all-inclusive model. Here’s my comparative review of both.
