New Orleans is one of America’s most interesting cities. That is not just a statement; New Orleans was indeed deemed so in the early 1990’s. It won’t take you long to understand why Louisiana’s largest city was granted that title. NOLA (New Orleans), as it is also often called, is a colourful city where history was created, where life is lived to its fullest and where cultures meet and mingle. “The City That Care Forgot” is probably the best phrase to depict the vibes you will delve into on your exploration of the city’s several districts.

With so many highlights on this trip – where does one begin? Perhaps with the bag pipes piping us on board, or the hot face towels and fresh orange juice awaiting us as we took our seats before departure. Talk about being spoiled! And this was just the beginning of experiencing gourmet meals, superb wait staff and exceptional scenery as we travelled through the Canadian Rockies on our train trip from Vancouver to Jasper, Alberta.

Hungry for knowledge?

It’s that time of year! Family holiday time is almost upon us. Why not satisfy the kids' hunger for knowlegde on a very different vacation this year; a vacation that is educational, a learning experience, an adventure, one they will long remember and is hugely fun! Take them on a journey where they couldn’t care less about their ipads and don’t want to escape with their friends.

Sounds incredible?

A typical day on this 18 days long cruise along the lower Mekong River starts with rising early to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea on the top deck, watching the countryside slowly pass by or admiring the mesmerizing beauty of the rising sun.
