August looked good on us - with a few favorites from earlier along the ride ☀️

Two birthdays: happy birthday to Madeleine and Tiffany! One anniversary: Jenny marked another year with Global Escapes.

And two new faces: welcome Stella in Tuscaloosa and Rebecca in Athens! You’re going to love them 🤍

Cake, candles, a couple of new desks, and a whole lot of places we’d go back to tomorrow.

Here’s to September 👇

Some places you just don't want to leave. Park Hyatt St. Kitts was one of them. 💙

The team who knew my name. The monkeys I watched like a little kid. A rainbow after morning yoga. A few days that already feel like a dream.

A local told me the island was blessed — and honestly, I felt it.

Wrote about the whole thing on the blog. Link below. ⬇️

🛳️ + 🛤️ + 🏔️ = 😍
Some journeys refuse to pick a lane.

Regent's new "Cruise, Rail, Rockies" itineraries for 2027 are one of those rare blends — the kind of trip that lets you have the mountains and the sea in a single unbroken breath. You start on the Rocky Mountaineer, gliding under glass-domed ceilings through the Canadian Rockies, the peaks rising close enough to feel. Then the rails give way to water, and you're sailing the Inside Passage toward Alaska, glaciers on one side, wilderness on the other.

Six nights on land. Two days of scenic rail. A week at sea. Three completely different ways of moving through some of the most breathtaking country on the continent — woven into one.
There's something about pairing the slow, grounded rhythm of a train with the open horizon of a ship. You see the same landscape from the inside and the outside both. Few trips do that.

What a beautiful way to meet the Rockies and the sea at once.

Regent Seven Seas has five "Cruise, Rail, Rockies" departures in 2027 that include the Rocky Mountaineer and an Inside Passage voyage.

The 2027 river cruise season just opened — and here's a secret from inside the industry: the sailings you see in the pretty brochures are already filling. Best balcony cabins, holiday weeks, and wine-harvest dates go first. If a Danube, Rhine, Douro, or any other cruise has been living on your someday list, this is the year 'someday' gets a date. We'll tell you honestly which line fits you — we've sailed them.

💋 Happy National Kissing Day! Let us tell you a story...

Long ago, on a lake in the Julian Alps, fairies danced on a lonely rock. When the shepherds wouldn't protect their sacred ground, the fairies flooded the valley — and the rock became an island. ✨

Centuries later, a grieving widow at Bled Castle cast a bell in memory of her lost husband. It sank in a storm, and they say it still rings from the depths. The Pope himself sent a new bell to the island's little church — and legend holds that if you ring it three times, your wish comes true. 🔔

But here's our favorite part: to this day, grooms carry their brides up all 99 stone steps to that church. Make it to the top without setting her down, and tradition promises a long and happy marriage — sealed, of course, with a kiss.

Ninety-nine steps. Three rings of the bell. One wish.

This is Lake Bled, Slovenia — an alpine jewel nestled between Italy and Croatia, where emerald waters meet fairytale mountains. And yes, it's every bit as magical as it sounds. 🇸🇮

Tell us: could your sweetheart make it up all 99 steps? 💬

okay so Oprah (on Oprah Daily) just named Australia the Wellness Destination of the Year and honestly?? she's so right. 🌿

she's been Down Under three times but this trip she actually slowed down and lived it—did the Bondi Walk that Hugh Jackman personally told her to do (iconic), got the ricotta hot cakes at Bills, hiked Mount Lofty in Adelaide and casually spotted kangaroos, wedge-tailed eagles AND a koala. like… a normal Tuesday apparently.

her whole thing was that living your best life starts with easy access to nature. and yeah. we're obsessed with that.

from Sydney harbor to the wild coast of Tasmania, we'll plan the Australia trip that's basically been calling your name. so where are we starting?? 👇
