Last year, I sailed on Norwegian Cruise Line’s Prima, one of the brand’s new luxury class cruiseships. I’m not a fan of the mega-cruise ships but the Prima is different. Even though it accommodates 3,100 guests, it feels much more intimate because of some cool new design concepts coupled with the highest staff-to-guest ratio. Launched in 2022, the Prima is one of the newest ships in Norwegian Cruise Line’s fleet. It offers modern luxury with …

Who doesn’t love Aruba? I mean, it’s got a little bit of something for everyone. It’s a top destination for summer vacations, partly because it lies outside the hurricane belt, which is a surprise to many people!

What I didn’t expect was to fall in love with the inland rainforest and some really cool resorts in Belize. If …

Cancun is perhaps Mexico’s most famous playground, but if you want to get out of the Spring Break-style beach party crowd, head south to Riviera Maya, just south of Playa del Carmen. Hospitality brand Grupo Xcaret has opened three luxury Riviera Maya all-inclusive resorts (two with AAA 5-Diamond status) that are stunningly beautiful and unique.
