BEHIND THE SCENES

Christa Guerra, Art Director, and Matthew Zach, Contributing Photographer To check out one of the most OTT suites on the water (page 26), Guerra (far left, with her safety card) and Zach cruised from Monaco to Barcelona on Regent’s Seven Seas Explorer. “Even though we had bad weather, we had a ball,” she says. “And the rosé all day didn’t hurt.” Matt Hranek, Luxury Editor As he floated and drank his way up the Canal du Midi on the Belmond Alouette, Hranek (below) photographed this summer’s most stylish carry‑ons (page 36). Rebecca Misner, West Coast Editor “We wanted one day to just relax on the beach,” says Misner (above, with her daughter, Mila, in French Polynesia, page 55). “So the M.S. Paul Gauguin’s concierge arranged a day for us at InterContinental in Bora Bora.” Alex Postman,…

BEHIND THE SCENES

EDITORS’ PICKS

WE’RE GOING ALL IN It’s hard to imagine that an all-inclusive, especially one along that tourist-made stretch between Cancún and Tulum, could be the first hotel in the Americas to win EarthCheck certification for sustainability. But rather than swim-up bars teeming with sunburned masses in fluorescent wristbands drinking daiquiris, Hotel Xcaret Mexico (above, and that’s ESH-car-ette) on Mexico’s Riviera Maya has a vibe more like a boutique hotel (albeit one with seven pools). The cheerfully embroidered cushions made by women in Chiapas and floor tiles from Puebla in all of the 900-plus rooms wouldn’t be out of place in Tulum’s more boho-chic barefoot inns. Mercado de la Merced, Xcaret’s main restaurant, is a Wonka-esque explosion of authentic ceviches, sopas, asados, and Mexican sweets. Zip-lining over the jungle and snorkeling in a…

Better Together

The last time my older sister, Alex, and I had been on a cruise together, industrial-size cans of Aqua Net, used to shellac our bangs into four-inch crowns, could pass through airport X-ray machines without a blip. The year was 1987. For the better part of our childhood, Alex and I accompanied our mother, a professional singer and onboard entertainer, on a dozen or so cruises to the Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska, the Mediterranean, the Panama Canal. Some of the lines, like the Italian-staffed Sitmar Cruises, whose late-night thincrust pizza I still dream about, have long since given up their fleets. Back then, the world’s biggest cruise ship, the S.S. France, held more than 2,000 passengers; today, Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas can carry 6,680. When we were little, the three of…

Better Together

OUR FAVORITE TRIPS ON, IN, OR NEAR THE WATER The Alouette, a cozy two-cabin barge (shown) that winds its way over the course of a week through the plane tree–lined Canal du Midi in the Languedoc, is one of seven in Belmond’s fleet that navigate rivers and canals all over France. You’ll see a side of the country that you wouldn’t be able to by car, and with a local guide on board, you’ll have inside access to all of the medieval villages, vineyards, and farmers’ markets along the way. This summer, the eight-passenger Pivoine does a shorter, three-day sail through the vineyards and farms of Champagne.…

THE FRENCH COAST THAT , S NEVER CROWDED

I’ve loved those iconic images of Jean Seberg and Pablo Picasso in their striped Breton sailor shirts since I first saw them in my teens. When I began traveling to Paris for work a few years later, I asked an in-the-know photographer where I could get one. He told me, “Go to the Samaritaine”—a department store that has since closed—“and buy Armor Lux.” I found the sturdy boatneck shirts made for Brittany’s seamen in the underwear department. Nearly 30 years later, long after countless fashion brands made the knockoffs ubiquitous, I still have them. So I was excited when I found out you can tour the Armor Lux factory in Quimper, the capital of an area of Brittany called Finistère, whose little harbor towns are among the last holdouts of French…

THE MOST BALLER SUITE ATSEA

Cruise cabins, no matter how well appointed, have a rep for being, shall we say, cozy. When you step into the Regent Suite aboard the Seven Seas Explorer, however, you may well forget you’re on a ship at all. The two-bedroom, two-balcony enclave has an enormous spa-style bath (with as many Canyon Ranch services as you’d like), its own solarium, and a custom Dakota Jackson Grand Maroque piano built by Steinway & Sons. It’ll run you more than $5K a night, but that includes a personal butler, private onshore guides, a fully stocked bar, invites to dinner with ship’s officers, and tons of other perks. Now that’s livin’ large. MORE OTT SUITES Cunard’s Balmoral and Sandringham Suites Twin duplex suites with sweeping views aft.

“I , D NEVER BEEN TO A PLACE WITHOUT TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF HUMAN LIFE.”

“This trip was a rare opportunity to pair the educational with the adventurous,” says Indré Rockefeller, co-founder of the luggage company Paravel, who just returned with her husband from a two-week Antarctic cruise with Quark Expeditions. “We had scientists showing us the effects of climate change. It was hugely motivating. As soon as I got back, I sat down with my business partner to set an even bolder sustainability program at our company.” How did this trip come about? It’s been on the bucket list. This itinerary was organized in part by the Nature Conservancy, so we were on board with glaciologists, biologists, historians, and climate scientists. Their lectures provided wonderful context for what we were experiencing. Which was? An ecosystem that’s so fragile and pristine. We’d take Zodiac rides to shore…

Auckland Stay at the central Hotel DeBrett, off Queen Street. It’s within walking distance of Depot (left), one of our favorite dinner spots for braised lamb and kumara gnocchi, and the Britomart development, a cluster of high-end shops and outdoor food markets near Viaduct Harbour.

A DREAM WORLD, IN REAL LIFE

My younger sister and I had talked about going to Japan together ever since we were 11 and 6, and were first transported to Hayao Miyazaki’s fantastical, spirit-filled Japanese countryside in his animated film My Neighbor Totoro. The two protagonists—also sisters—were fearless explorers, running wild in the woods. Fifteen years later, we got to play out a grown-up version of the scenes that had shaped our imaginations. A seven-night trip on Princess Cruises’ Diamond Princess last spring started and ended in Tokyo, and stopped at three ports along the northern coast of Honshu, and in Busan, South Korea’s second-largest city—a place we’d never have thought to go but that wound up being a highlight of the trip. Though the minute-to-minute schedule of a cruise took some getting used to, that…

BETTER WITH AGE

It’s been two weeks since my cruise to the Galápagos Islands, and I can’t stop thinking about LuVerne and Gary. If you had asked me what I thought would be most mind-blowing about those seven days, I would have guessed the improbability of this cluster of islands existing at all, with dinosaurlike giant tortoises lumbering through the tall grass and real-life blue-footed boobies I’d only seen in that Tilda Swinton–narrated Galápagos doc. And, of course, it was all of those things. But it was also LuVerne and Gary, a couple in their eighties from Scottsdale, Arizona. I met them at dinner on my first night aboard Celebrity Cruise’s Xpedition. Actually, I had first noticed them a few hours earlier, during the captain’s welcome toast. There were 100 of us—fewer guests than most…

THE NEW OLD WAY OF GETTING THERE

I spent most of my time aboard the Queen Mary 2 this past fall wandering the Promenade Deck; reading books like The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, a true-crime story by Kate Summerscale about a Victorian murder; and simply watching the ocean. That, and soaking in the nostalgia: listening as the band played when we set off, ordering lobster Thermidor for dinner, and capping the night with a waltz in the ballroom. Seeing water for days, and moving so slowly, really gives you a proper sense of distance. I have to say, it was absolute heaven.…

CASA SAN AGUSTÍN IS EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

You really couldn’t choose a better location in this port city: The restored 17th-century hotel is just a few blocks from the waterfront in the dead center of old town—a prime jumping-off point for wandering the forts and palmstudded shores. The property itself is a piece of history: Its exposed wood beams, frescoes, and aqueduct wall are all original. Guests tend to get an early start for breakfast, filling the dining terrace as soon as the kitchen opens, at 7:30 A.M. But the morning scene doesn’t truly pick up until around 9, when the Cartagenians roll in. For the next few hours, the tiled terrace and dining room buzz with businesspeople and ladies who breakfast lingering over butifarra (minced-pork sausage), carimañolas (casava fritters), and corn arepas that’ve been lightly fried,…

SKIMMING THE SURFACE IN INDIA, AND LOVING IT

My first day in Cochin felt like a tease. Dismounting the tour bus, we spent 15 minutes hustling into a 500-year-old church; another 15 at the 16th-century synagogue built by Jews who’d come to this part of India to trade black pepper, cardamom, and teak; and did a drive-by of the harbor, where fishermen dunked their nets into the Arabian Sea as they’ve done for eons. Could I really say I’d been here? I wasn’t sure. That night at dinner, I asked a kind-faced retired couple from Texas who were midway through a five-month world cruise from L.A. to Rome on our ship, the Crystal Serenity, whether it bothered them to pull up anchor every day or two and move on. “No, you’ve got it backwards,” the husband, a former real estate…

Island Hopping for Grown-Ups

The jungle-covered jumble of islands off the coast of Thailand—the Butang Archipelago; Ko Rok Nok—are a bear to reach: There are no airports, and I can’t vouch for any of the charters going there. Then I discovered the Star Clipper, a four-masted barkentine (above) with a crow’s nest, acres of canvas sails, and room for 170 passengers. I marveled at the dizzying limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay, the isolation of the Similans, and the primordial feel of James Bond Island, where Roger Moore once dashed along the sun-bleached sand. My shipmates and I weren’t the first to visit these palm-fringed coves, but when the breeze was up and the sails were full, nobody seemed to mind. Clockwise from top: Corey Maywalt; Star Clippers; Gentl & Hyers…

Island Hopping for Grown-Ups

HOW I BECAME A JOINER

I’m not one for group activities. Any forced fun brings out the ninth-grader in me, someone who took a hard pass on pep rallies and rolled her eyes during class skits. Which is why I’d never thought about a family cruise. I figured it would likely involve having to do arts and crafts with other people’s children and would certainly involve “volunteering” to do something embarrassing onstage. Alas, my love of being on the water outweighed my aversion to participating, and I decided last school break to set sail with my two kids, Mila and Joe, ages 12 and 9, through French Polynesia’s Society Islands aboard the M.S. Paul Gauguin, a relatively small, 166-cabin ship—meaning it could anchor at smaller, less-visited islands. (The best time of year to go is…

THE INSIDER , S GUIDE TO THE INNER PASSAGE

As a northern California native, I’ve long been moved by the naturalist John Muir’s writings, particularly this line from his 1879 book Travels in Alaska: “To the lover of pure wildness, Alaska is one of the most wonderful countries in the world.” And so this spring my partner and I boarded the Norwegian Pearl in Seattle and set sail for Juneau. From our balcony, we spotted snow-capped peaks and watched orcas breach as sea otters played and bald eagles soared. After five days, we reached Glacier Bay and its “lofty blue cliffs,” as Muir wrote more than a century ago. Now, as then, the only sounds were the thunderous explosions of ice calving from the Margerie Glacier and the crash as it splashed into the cyan waters. A BETTER WAY TO…

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

If you’re sailing with younger kids Royal Caribbean’s enormous new Symphony of the Seas has space for 6,680 guests and is packed with things to keep you busy on long sea days: multilevel water parks, surfing simulators, a zip line, laser tag, rock-climbing walls, multiple kid-friendly stage productions. And—oh, yeah—it visits in-demand spots like Barcelona, Mallorca, and Naples. When your teens are gracing you with their presence The tall ship Flying Clipper will have five masts and endless stretches of square rigging—and be the largest sailing vessel in the world—upon its scheduled debut this winter (destinations still TBD). Kids might even be convinced to put down their devices to help haul halyards and climb the rigging of this Star Clippers replica of the early 20th-century French navy ship France II, or they’ll go…

THE MAN WHO CAPTURED ITALY , S SOUTHERN COAST IN A BOTTLE

“The wind that comes off the sea in Calabria is magic,” says Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, Louis Vuitton’s master perfumer, of the region he has visited for the past five years to create the new men’s fragrance Sur La Route. “In February, during the bergamot harvest, it’s mild in the morning, and there are so many smells coming from the grass and trees. When I press the skin of the fruit, and the oil comes to the surface and combines with all those other smells in the air, it’s like a painting to me.” There are certain raw ingredients that are inextricable from place: Grasse has the finest roses, Guatemala produces the most fragrant cardamom, Sumatra is known for the richest and woodiest patchouli. Bergamot, a knobby yellowish citrus about the…

Do the Touristy Stuff First

During the morning rush, the Central Business District swarms with commuters ferrying in from the outer suburbs to Circular Quay on Sydney’s central waterfront, a.k.a. home to the iconic Sydney Opera House. By 10 a.m., the vibe is more settled—it’s also when the Museum of Contemporary Art opens. Start your day here (and not just because its café does a killer flat white and banana bread toast). It’s a great entry point to explore some of Australia’s most important Aboriginal artists, like John Mawurndjul. You really should do the Opera House too, and by do we mean actually go inside. Don’t tick it off your list once you lay eyes on it, because then you’d miss the Le Corbusier tapestry Les Dés Sont Jetés, commissioned by Jørn Utzon, the building’s…

There’s More to Bondi Than Its Beach

“Bondi’s beach-to-bar, barefoot-to-heels way of life is a microcosm of the world,” Bondi local and designer Pip Edwards says. It’s the kind of place where the people who live there—bohemians, chefs, surfers, and artists—only leave if they absolutely have to. The best strategy is to make a day of it, preferably a Saturday. (Bondi is a quick Uber ride from anywhere else you’ll likely be. Don’t take the train; it’s a hike to the beach.) Start with doughnuts from the farmers’ market—be there by 9:30 to grab a spot on the opposite grassy knoll, where the locals hang with their takeaway coffees. Then pop into boutiques around Gould Street (we like Tuchuzy for its breezy wrap dresses), or cool off in the water. The beach has changing cabanas and lockers…

Day Drinking Never Looked So Good

On a recent trip to Sydney, we finished dinner at Ester and walked to the nearby Old Clare Hotel for a nightcap. It was 11:30, and the bartender said that he’d stopped serving. WTF? This is one of the effects of Sydney’s notorious four-year-old lockout laws, which limit late-night drinking. A positive counterreaction? The creation of a stylish new breed of day bar that opens early (around noon) and serves grownup cocktails and snacks till after the sun sets. That means rosé and barramundi sliders at legendary chef Matt Moran’s three-level Barangaroo House. Or crisp pizzas and a phenomenal wine list at the Dolphin Hotel in Surry Hills, which Icebergs Dining Room & Bar director Maurice Terzini redid in 2016 (the terrace always gets good sun). Terzini’s other spot, the…

Go Beyond the City

Unless you’re planning to be in Oz for a month, you can’t realistically do the whole country in a single trip—the distance between Sydney and Perth, on the west coast, is the same as that between New York and Phoenix. But Sydney’s central eastcoast location means you can see more than just the city without schlepping too far. Twenty minutes away via seaplane is Pretty Beach House, an incredibly chic four-room hotel on a bay surrounded by gum trees near Bouddi National Park, on the Bouddi Peninsula. Once you’re soaking in that copper tub, listening to the calls of the kookaburra bird, you’ll feel like you’ve traveled to the jungles of the South Pacific. The emerging Orange wine region is a three-and-a-half-hour drive northwest of Sydney. It has the same…

The Bespoke Tailor and Interior Designer on Their Perfect Day

“We’ll start with … a swim at Camp Cove, a charming harbor beach, then grab avo toast and coffee at the great kiosk there.” “Then we’ll move on to Bondi. Beaches are our piazzas in Oz—everyone is there. We’ll swim on Bondi’s north shore, where surfing isn’t allowed, then hit up Messina ice cream truck and order the Almond Schwarzenegger: burnt-vanilla gelato with roasted almond and chocolate dip.” “In the afternoon… we’ll stroll White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale. It has incredible 21st-century Chinese art and serves tea and dumplings.” “Dinner is always at… Fratelli Paradiso—do the grilled scampi over pasta. The tiramisu is excellent, but if you’re too full, they’ll serve you a just a bite on a teaspoon so you still get to have a taste.”…

The Bespoke Tailor and Interior Designer on Their Perfect Day

The sun was about to set, and my fingers were sticky with pineapple and mango as I boarded a Zodiac to return to our yacht, moored a few hundred yards off the Costa Rican coast. I’d been smuggling fruit from the cooler all day during our expedition into the Lapa Rios nature reserve, unnoticed by the rest of the group, who were riveted by our guide’s sightings of toucans, macaws, squirrel monkeys, boa constrictors, and iguanas. His hearing was so sharp, he’d known exactly what creature was prowling the forest floor or making the leaves quiver, and would excitedly lunge ahead with his telescope to point it out. Now I was looking forward to my favorite time of day on this seven-day sail from Puerto Caldera to Panama City: the late…

“I BELIEVE IN CONTINUITY,” Camilla Vest says. A model and design entrepreneur (her company, Objects by Camilla Vest, curates Nordic furniture for shops like The Line and Trnk), she moved from her native Denmark to New York’s TriBeCa more than 20 years ago, but has spent every summer since childhood in Tisvilde, a relaxed seaside village an hour northwest of Copenhagen. Her Danish husband, Peder, and their kids, Anna, 14, and August, 8, now embrace the tradition, which also includes grandparents, siblings, and a bevy of cousins. “We love bringing them back to soak up the cultural vibe,” Vest says. “And they love being able to bike everywhere and meeting the same kids on the beach each year.” The Danish coastline is dotted with small beach towns whose century-old “bathing hotels” and…

“Tisvilde is a very welcoming place,” Vest says. “On the beach, it’s hard not to fall into conversation with locals who want to give you all their tips.” Getting to Tisvilde Zealand’s northern beach towns are a perfect tack-on to a few days in Copenhagen. Rent a car and drive up the coast, stopping around mile 22 in Humlebæk to visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, which faces Sweden. Exhibits rotate, but Vest loves their sculpture garden, “and there’s a play studio for kids,” she says. Nearby is Karen Blixen’s house museum, Rungstedlund, with furniture and paintings the author brought from Africa. Following the coast, you’ll hit Tisvilde near mile 55.

HOW TO SUMMER LIKE A DANE

THREE decades ago, when Alan Faena decided to buy a plot of barren land along a remote stretch of coastline near the village of José Ignacio, Uruguay, his friends were divided into two distinct camps. There were those who thought he was crazy, and those who thought he was really crazy. “Everybody said, ‘This place is so uninteresting, and there is no highway to get there, and nobody will ever visit you,’” Faena recalls. “But I knew what it had the potential to become. And anyway, I wasn’t looking for approval.” Faena is possibly South America’s most free-thinking entrepreneur, known not only for his silk turbans and quirky hats but also for his determination to go his own way, secure in the knowledge that lots of people will eventually follow him. They…

“Do they have pasta in Venice?” Gaïa asked her mother as they rushed along the rain-soaked pier in the fading light to reach the gates of the ship terminal. Her mother didn’t answer, didn’t even acknowledge the question, focused as she was on the task of getting herself and her eight children, and at least some of the luggage, on board before the boat left for its four-night cruise around the Venetian Lagoon. An obstinate child of 7, Gaïa didn’t give up easily. “Do they have carbonara in Venice?” she pressed. Her mother didn’t have time to answer that question either. Now the rain was picking up, and the family hastened their pace, except for Gaïa, who, like any child who knows her business, used the only tool available to…
