Seabourn announces up to 70% off springs cruises.

Experienced cruisers know that Seabourn is one of the most luxurious cruise lines at sea.  Although their five “yachts” carry as few as 208 passengers, they have every amenity you could want.
 
All the staterooms are suites, their cuisine is overseen by chef Charlie Palmer, and the open bar and no-tipping policy let you enjoy a truly all-inclusive experience. 
 
Travelers who book right away can save as much as 70% on a nice selection of voyages this spring. 

Great deals on European River Cruises.

Lately, my email inbox is filled with offers on European River Cruises.  And some of them are pretty hard to pass up. 

If you’ve never taken a river cruise, you should consider one.  You usually spend some time each day exploring one of Europe’s charming towns or villages, and then spend a few hours cruising one of the Continent’s great rivers, like the Rhine or the Danube.  The scenery is great – and so close you can almost touch it – the food is first-rate, and since most river boats carry fewer than 200 passengers, the experience is much more intimate than an ocean cruise.

Taronga Zoo -- also one of the most unique places to stay in Sydney.

We rarely visit zoos.  Much less sleep at them.  

But in the case of Sydney's Taronga Zoo, we're willing to make an exception.

First of all, getting there is one of the most memorable travel experiences in the world.  You take a 12-minute ferry ride from Circular Quay across Sydney Harbour, passing the spectacular Opera House en route.
