JANUARY’S ‘PICK OF THE PORTS’ Canadian Rockies (Rocky Mountaineer)r) Alychea Marshall, Cruise Expert Rocky Mountaineer - the perfect accompaniment for an Alaska Cruise.

Trip of a lifetime Embark on a journey of great discovery and create lasting memories when you combine your Alaskan cruise with one of the world’s most luxurious train journeys through the Rocky Mountains with Rocky Mountaineer.

I experienced a 2 day journey through The Canadian Rocky Mountains where we visited the most beautiful alpine towns of Banff, Jasper and Kamloops. The journey and scenery were breath taking with majestic mountains, rugged landscapes and interesting wildlife. We saw salmon swimming up river, eagles, goats and we were amazingly lucky to see a black bear.

The best the unique way to experience Canadian sc enery

Travel in Style Rocky Mountaineer is much more than just a train journey, it is a 5*, once in a lifetime, world renowned and award-winning experience. We chose Gold Leaf Service, our cart had panoramic windows which were perfect to view all the scenery and take lots of photos whilst enjoying the delicious cuisine and listening to the story-telling commentary. The on board stewards were so knowledgeable and told tales of the local area and wildlife.

No matter which route or service you choose, you are sure you have a life-changing and unforgettable experience aboard Rocky Mountaineer.

Let us take you to places untouched by time.

WHERE WILL YOUR CRUISE TAKE YOU? Rome, Italy Angela Lafferty, Product Executive Rome is one of the most amazing cities in the world, it is easy to get around and there is so much to see and do.

Rome in a day If visiting as a port of call, you will arrive into Civitavecchia which is around 60 minutes by train or 90 minutes by bus from the centre of Rome. On my first visit, we took an organised excursion, which is the best way to see the city if you just have one day in port. On our excursion we visited the Vatican and marvelled at Michelangelo’s frescos in the Sistine Chapel, and discovered the masterpieces housed in St Peter’s Basilica.

Following on from the Vatican we visited the Trevi Fountain which was built in the 18th century. The streets surrounding the Trevi Fountain host many shopping opportunities and places to eat.

Of course, no visit to Rome would be complete without a visit to the Colosseum.

Sightsee at your leisure On my subsequent visits to Rome I did this ‘on my own’. The train station is only a 10-15 minute walk from the cruise port. We got off at the Vatican City stop and toured this area before jumping on a ‘hop on, hop off’ tour bus which allowed us to see as much or as little of the sights of Rome that we desired on the day. In the height of summer you may decide that seeing the sights from an open air bus is perfect as it can be very busy. On our return to Civitavecchia we boarded the train from the Roma Termini station which is centrally located.

EXPERT

TIP!

A good map is a must to get the most out of your time in Rome

If not included in an organised tour, buy your entrance tickets in advance if you wish to see inside the Vatican and Colosseum to avoid waiting in long queues.

New generation of River Cruises Emerald Waterways new ships will change River Cruising for the future.

I

was lucky to be invited on the Emerald Star for their first ever agent trip to experience this new generation of river ship on the Danube.

Modern, elegant and quality Emerald Star is modern, open, light and elegant and with only 4 decks it is easy to get around. The vast windows allow you to take full advantage of the beautiful surroundings.

Beautiful cabins and innovative new indoor balconies I highly recommend the Panorama Balcony Suites, they have innovative indoor balconies with a panoramic floor to ceiling window which descends 50% - particularly handy in the winter months when you have the benefits of a space to sit and watch the world go by without feeling the harsh winter weather. Clever storage options mean you really do get the most of your cabin space.

Dining The restaurant area is bright, light and airy with full length windows giving unparalleled views of the scenery around you. The food served is a la carte cuisine infused with local specialities and classic alternatives like steak and salmon, if the local cuisine is not to your taste. To accompany meals at lunch and dinner we were offered local wine and beers from the particular region we were sailing, which was a nice touch.

Bar and Lounge The bar area was a twofold venue. During the day it was a modern lounge in a similar style to the dining room with full floor to ceiling windows the length of the bar. There was access to an outdoor seating area at the front on the ship which had patio heaters so even in November it was never too cold to enjoy time outside. At night the bar transforms into a modern bar with mood lighting and music played by Rado the ships entertainer.

First-class service Service on board Emerald Star was second to none. All staff made a point of taking time to not only say hello but make conversation and show genuine interest in what you had experienced that day. They were all excellent but I have to pay extra credit to the Cruise Director Karla.

Karla was sweet, knowledgeable and funny. Each evening I took time to see Karla for a chat about the day ahead. Karla described the itinerary including important information regarding planned excursions and hints and tips for those who wanted to go off and explore on their own.

Emerald Waterways really have revolutionised River Cruising, appealing to a younger clientele and those who appreciate the finer things in life. You’ll enjoy wonderful service and good value and of course…. interesting destinations.

Karen Stewart, Head of Product shares her holiday recommendations for 2015

Mauritius The Residence Mauritius The setting of this hotel is perfection, the pearl-white sandy beach providing and idyllic retreat. There is a colonial style to the hotel but balanced with a modern feel. The staff share their warmth and typical Mauritian hospitality making this holiday perfect for families and couples alike. The highlight of my stay was eating fantastic seafood oceanfront at The Plantation restaurant.

It was so good I kept the menu as a keepsake!

Bahia Del Duque In my opinion there is not a better hotel in Tenerife.

The moment you arrive you are checked in with a welcome drink setting the standard for the rest of your stay. The delightful architecture of the hotel constructed in local natural materials give a traditional Canarian feel to the hotel. We also enjoyed the entertainment and food which meant we rarely had to wander far.

The best and most extensive breakfast I have experienced in Europe. You can even have a glass of Champagne!

The elegant rooms of the Gran Hotel Bahía del Duque combine warmth and luminosity with spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean or the lush gardens that surround the hotel.
