Royal Caribbean I had the incredible opportunity to sail from Shanghai aboard Royal Caribbean’s Spectrum of the Seas, and one of the highlights of my journey was the half-day excursion in Tokyo called 'The Cultural Highlights of Tokyo.' This tour offered a wonderful introduction to the vibrant city, blending history and modern life seamlessly. We visited the Imperial Palace, surrounded by moats, towering stone walls, and impressive stone bridges. Standing in the famous square and seeing the iconic bridge was truly memorable. This excursion was the perfect way to experience Tokyo's rich culture in a short time. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore this outstanding city.

TUI River Cruises My Nile River cruise was unforgettable, but the absolute highlight was the sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor’s breathtaking desert landscapes. Everything ran seamlessly from the very beginning—and it was more than worth it. As we rose into the sky, I was struck by the incredible peace and stillness. It felt completely tranquil, like the world had paused for a moment. From above, I took in sweeping views of ancient temples, golden desert terrain, and the soft glow of morning light stretching across the horizon. It was nothing short of magical.

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Egypt.

HX Expeditions I had the incredible opportunity to sail along Greenland’s west coast aboard MS Fridtjof Nansen with HX Expeditions. The journey was filled with unforgettable experiences, but two excursions stood out as truly extraordinary. The first was kayaking in the serene waters of Maarmorilik Fjord. Gliding silently between the majestic peaks and ice-streaked cliffs was a moment of pure awe and wonder - an experience I will never forget. The other highlight was a private boat tour in Ilulissat, navigating through a landscape of towering icebergs. Midway through the journey, a humpback whale surfaced - witnessing such a graceful giant in its natural habitat, was one of the most surreal and moving moments of my life.

Ambassador Cruise Line Our journey onboard Ambassador Ambience was nothing short of amazing. One of the highlights was our stop in Gothenburg, Sweden. We explored the city by coach and visited several landmarks. The standout for me was the incredible Karlatornet at 74 floors high, it’s the tallest building in Sweden, and the panoramic views were surreal. We then sailed on to Copenhagen, Denmark, where we spent the night. The colourful buildings, picturesque canals, and vibrant local atmosphere made it feel like something out of a storybook. This cruise gave us unforgettable memories, beautiful sights, and a perfect mix of culture, fun, and relaxation. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and enriching travel experience!
