This tour operator is offering a series of self-guided cycling trips through Italy

Building on last year’s successful launch of self-guided cycling tours in Italy, ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours, a trailblazer in cycling vacations and leader in active travel, is introducing three new extended itineraries for 2025, offering travellers a deeper dive into the rich culture and stunning landscapes of Italy’s la dolce vita.

These longer trips align with the growing trend of slow travel, combining multiple weeklong routes to create seamless adventures that prioritize immersive and sustainable experiences.

“We think that with the expense and time it takes to travel these days, a longer bike tour just makes sense,” said Maria Elena Price, co-owner of ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours. “Not to mention, spending more time in a place – getting to know it in the more immersive and intimate manner that exploring by bike provides – is so much more enriching, rewarding, and overall, a more sustainable way to travel.”

Designed for travellers who love the freedom of choosing their own pace while enjoying the peace-of-mind that comes with knowing key details such as accommodations and route mapping are taken care of, these new adventures offer deep dives into three famed regions: The Dolomites, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany.

Windstar’s newest ship shows off Southeast Asia experiences for 2026

Windstar Cruises recently unveiled its 2026 Southeast Asia program for its newest yacht, Star Seeker, which debuts December 2025.  The line is offering two core itineraries combinable in 17 different variations including inland pre- and post-Cruise Tour programs.

Star Seeker’s Southeast Asia program offers an in-depth exploration of the cultures, cuisine and history of Thailand and Vietnam, improving on the typical cruise experience in the region. Unlike most cruises that start and end in Singapore or Hong Kong, make stops at industrial ports far from key attractions, and spend just two or three days in each country, Windstar will take advantage of Star Seeker’s small size to offer a more immersive experience.  

Itineraries begin in-country – in HanoiBangkok, and Phuket – allowing guests to maximize their time on land before and after sailing, with options for pre- and post-cruise tours to inland destinations such as Angkor Wat. The small size of Star Seeker enables exclusive access to ports and docking locations that larger ships cannot reach, including sailing up rivers to dock in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, stopping at Ko Kood for the Windstar Signature Beach Party—a port visited by only select small ships—and traveling to Krabi and Ko Yao Noi.

About the Southeast Asia program

The Southeast Asia program features two core cruise-only voyages:

  • 10-day VietnamCambodia, & Thailand – Vietnam country intensive cruise stopping at three to four Vietnam ports including overnights in Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi (Halong Bay), with an additional visit to Cambodia, where guests can book a three-day/two-night shore excursion to Angkor Wat.
  • 11-day ThailandSingapore, & Malaysia – Thailand country intensive cruise stopping at six Thai ports including small destinations like Krabi and Ko Yao Noi, plus an overnight in Singapore, a highlight of the sailing.

The Southeast Asia itineraries can be enhanced by adding culturally rich Cruise Tours which extend the journey before or after the cruise:

  • Hanoi – three-night trip for cruises embarking and disembarking in Ha Long Bay, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the local life of Hanoi with street food tours in the old quarter featuring traditional Vietnamese phin drip and Vietnamese coffee; morning tai chi lessons like the locals do; history tours of the Hanoi Hilton Prison and Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum; culture attractions like a traditional puppet show, cyclo tour, and a visit to a local pottery village.
  • Angkor Wat – three nights extension on cruises that start and end in Bangkok with a bucket-list visit to Angkor Wat; explore Siem Reap to learn about the Khmer people who were responsible for constructing the temples and see their modern-day craftsmanship; visits to the Tonel Lake Stilt village and floating markets.
  • Chiang Mai – three nights exploration of Northern Thailand’s cultural capital, available on cruises that start and end in Phuket. Visit the cultural capital of Thailand and explore the famous mountain temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep and new and old temples with monk ceremonies; enjoy the opportunity to visit an Elephant Sanctuary where guests can interact with and help feed and care for the elephants, an animal that carries great significance to the people and country of Thailand; and explore lively night markets tasting local specialties like Khao soi.

Guests also have the option of combining cruises into back-to-back Star Collector sailings. Itineraries ranging from 20 to 41 days are available with the longest cruising between Tokyo, Japan and Phuket, Thailand. As a bonus, free daily laundry is provided so guests can still pack light.

The world’s largest sailing yacht is setting sail in summer 2026

Orient Express Corinthian, the first of the two Orient Express yachts, will set sail in June 2026 to cruise the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Caribbean seas.

A sleekly lined jewel of technology designed by Chantiers de l’Atlantique, Orient Express Corinthian will be the world’s largest sailing yacht. Spanning an impressive 220 m and sporting 4,500 m² of sails mounted on three inclinable masts, the ship will be able to reach a speed of 17 knots propelled solely by the wind.

Designed by architect Maxime d’Angeac, Artistic Director of Orient Express, the yacht will boast exceptionally refined decor inspired by the golden age of the Orient Express and the spirit of innovation and comfort that has bestowed legendary status on this iconic brand.

“All the suites and the entire design of the yacht have been conceived as unique spaces that break the boundaries of Orient Express’s classic decorative grammar while remaining true to its very particular codes,” Maxime d’Angeac explains. “A contemporary vision of Orient Express, that of an era in which high quality is synonymous with excellence and calls for a real aesthetic revolution.” 

About Orient Express Corinthian

Orient Express Corinthian houses 54 suites measuring between 45 m² and 230 m², each one comprising a luxurious bubble offering passengers total intimacy and utmost comfort. 48 of the suites are located on decks 4, 5 and 6, while six premium class suites are situated on deck 7.

Featuring panoramic bay windows guaranteeing stunning views, Orient Express Corinthian’s suites have all been designed as cocoons opening onto the sea. Havens of peace, relaxation and contemplation, the suites offer passengers intimate surroundings in which to read, write, eat and drink, or simply chill out while admiring the view. All of the rooms are decorated with wood, leather and marble fashioned by exceptionally talented, meticulously selected craftsmen and women.  

And to satisfy all tastes, the yacht boasts five elegant restaurants adorned with warm and timeless decor, each with its own strong personality. Eight bars including a 1930s-style speakeasy, a 115-seat cabaret exuding a Parisian atmosphere with art deco overtones, a recording studio, a cinema and a spa round up the range of services available to passengers.

The marina at the stern of the boat offers a prestigious setting, far from the madding crowd, to enjoy dinners and sea activities right at the water’s edge. And for total relaxation, the 16.60 m long swimming pool on deck 6 provides a perfect opportunity for swimmers to keep in shape.

And so, 140 years after the launch of the first luxury trains and a century after the epoch-making maiden voyage of the Normandie steamer, Orient Express Corinthian continues to write history and perpetuate the Orient Express legend by adding a maritime chapter that innovates with style and panache.

The routes are scheduled to allow travelers to combine two regional journeys into one trip: The Cornwall and Lake District routes run from Friday to Monday, while the Wales route runs from Monday to Thursday. 

The onboard experience

Setting a new standard in luxury design, the renowned London-based studio, Albion Nord, has created serenely elegant interiors with an unmistakable British charm, distinct to the train. Combining a colour palette inspired by the breathtaking natural world beyond the expanse of picture-windows, with heritage motifs and playful details, the ensuing environment is both tranquil and vibrant.

Each of the Britannic Explorer’s 18 cabins couple sophistication with comfort. The three Grand Suites and 15 Suites have been carefully crafted in Britain and delicately designed to make the experience of the journey as extraordinary as the destination.

Inspired by sweeping views of Britain’s rugged coastlines and rolling hills, each moment is transformed into a visual feast, whether passengers feel at home in the privacy of their cabin, relaxing in the onboard spa, or indulging in the Bar and restaurant cars.    

A NEW VISION OF BRITISH GASTRONOMY

The dining experience aboard the Britannic Explorer will be designed by award-winning restaurateur Simon Rogan, a visionary leader in Britain’s farm-to-fork movement. Rogan’s menus will celebrate seasonal, sustainable ingredients, sourced locally to showcase the richness of Britain’s diverse regions.

Luxury accommodation aboard the Britannic Explorer starts from £11,000 based on a double cabin to include a 3-night itinerary, excursions, meals, wine and alcoholic beverages on board. For more information or to book, visit the web page here.
