In my view
It’s time to get exotic in this edition as we set sail for two of the world’s most wildlife-rich areas, and go cruising with a difference in Borneo and Costa Rica. Our Cover Story heads to the Pacific island of Borneo, where
orangutans are a major highlight, and sails along the Pandaw River for a unique voyage into a little-seen region that is chock- full with cruise interest. Equally, the Pacific seaboard of Costa Rica is a fast-developing area with bags of eye appeal, wildlife, Central American culture and unspoiled coastline – perfect for the sail-cruising of Star Clippers. We stay on cruising’s more unbeaten path with visits to Iceland and the St Lawrence River, the Arctic and Antarctic, and a spring trip to Norway, highlighting the increasingly rich and varied destination options on offer these days. For the very best of the cruise world, we offer the sumptuous
new Marina of Oceania Cruises and the Celebrity Eclipse, very possibly the best of the current big-ship offerings, as well as Holland America’s Nieuw Amsterdam.
NEXT EDITION A River Runs Through It
We’re going to slow things down for Issue 52 and take an in-depth look at cruising’s more land-bound cousin, with a multi-feature view of European river voyaging. From the luxury hotel barges of France to the classic Rhine
cruise; from the latest ships of Viking River Cruises to the amazing Christmas markets of central Europe, we will lay out the full picture of the delights and benefits of taking a slow- paced water-borne tour of the region. From there, we will branch out to a special Antarctic voyage in the company of increasingly versatile adventure- cruise specialists Hurtigruten, and discover the world’s oldest ‘cruise,’ along the Gota Canal in Sweden. For that luxury touch we have the first feature on the magnificent new Seabourn Quest, while we also detail the latest enhancements of Celebrity Cruises’ Solstice-class ships on their Silhouette. We continue our voyage through Canada and New England with a trip to Halifax and St John; offer the top autumn fashions; the hottest Spa news; and all the latest cruise News. It’s all here in World of Cruising – be sure to order your copy now!
4 WORLD OF CRUISING I Summer 2011
Under ‘hot topics,’ we take a look at the latest developments for disabled cruisers and how the Safety of Life At Sea (SOLAS) agreement has developed with the need to ensure ship safety. We have the cruise musings of arch cruise blogger John Honeywell, aka Captain Greybeard, and The Admiral is in good form, too, waxing lyrical about the Blue Riband award. On top of your usual array of regular news and features – like our essential World of Spas section, Cruise Fashion, Reader Letters and the Aft View – it all makes for an unrivalled view of our favourite subject. And every reason to start planning your next voyage with us!
