From the pristine grandeur of Antarctica – one of the planet’s most inspiring landscapes – to Asia – the most massive continent of contrasts on earth – to a luxurious cruise filled with unique “offbeat onboard opportunities,” to hitting the snowy slopes in style for that wintertime getaway . . . all this and more can be yours as we help you plan your perfect vacation – complete in a world of adventure and luxury

ANTARCTICA – Few experiences in life compare to the sheer amazement of seeing Antarctica’s coast for the very first time. This is truly a land that literally seems “frozen” in time. In the nearly 100 years since the South Pole Continent was first reached by the most intrepid explorers of the day, little has changed. Antarctica is still seen as an “exciting voyage and a rare achievement few can claim.” You are sure to gaze in wonder at the mountain ranges and glacial peaks, the crystal blue mountains of ice, shores teaming with wildlife and the hundreds of fearless penguins plunging into the ocean for food.

ASIA – This “Continent of Contrasts” is the world’s largest and most populous continent and covers 8.6% of the earth's total surface area. It is bounded to the east by the Pacific Ocean, to the south by the Indian Ocean, and to the north by the Arctic Ocean. Given its size and diversity, Asia – a name dating back to classical antiquity – is really more a cultural concept incorporating a number of regions and peoples than simply a homogenous physical entity. China, Japan and Korea are just three of many Asian countries that offer diverse and exciting cultures to experience and enjoy.

AT SEA – There’s plenty of adventuresome, unique and “off beat” opportunities to enjoy on your next luxurious and relaxing cruise. From hands-on cooking workshops aboard a Regent Seven Seas’ vessel (in the only Le Cordon Bleu restaurants at sea) to making pottery on a Princess cruise – this is just a sample of exciting things to do on your next vacation at sea.

ON THE SLOPES – “Jump start” your winter vacation plans and get ready to hit the slopes. Stay at that luxurious hotel of your dreams, send the kids to ski and snowboard school, enjoy nighttime shopping, take in the sights, dine in trendy restaurants, indulge in spa treatments and soak up the sun on a relaxing snowy “beach.” Some of the top North American ski resorts to consider include Deer Valley, Whistler/ Blackcomb, Vail, Aspen, Park City, Snowmass, Beaver Creek and Sun Valley.
