Goldring Travel’s Antarctica Expedition on the Scenic Eclipse (February 2022) – Part V (The Culinary Experience – It Ain’t Cruise Cuisine!)

Goldring Travel February 27, 2022

Scenic Eclipse’s culinary approach, to a degree similar to its hotel vibe, offers an impressive variety of dining venues and cuisines within those venues; especially when you remember that there are only 200 guests and this is a true expedition ship. Corporate Chef Tom Goetter has brought his passion and

Goldring Travel’s Antarctica Expedition on the Scenic Eclipse (February 2022) – Part IV (The Expedition Experience = Epic!)

Goldring Travel February 26, 2022

I have rewritten this article three – make that four – times…because Antarctica, the Scenic Eclipse, and the Expedition Team delivered some of the most amazing experiences. And remember this is my fourth – not first – expedition to “The Ice”. There were just too many truly epic moments. (Epic

Goldring Travel’s Antarctica Expedition on the Scenic Eclipse (February 2022) – Part III(2) (First Impressions)

Goldring Travel February 22, 2022

First impressions can be tricky; especially when they are unexpected or different. This is especially true with a relatively new cruise or expedition company. So it is not surprising that my Scenic Eclipse’s first impressions are both. The unexpected has been so comforting and exciting. The different takes a bit

Goldring Travel’s Antarctica Expedition on the Scenic Eclipse (February 2022) – Part III (Aramburu – 18 Course Degustation Heaven)

Goldring Travel February 18, 2022

I have said for many years that a cruise/excursion is like a sandwich: The meat of it may be in the middle but the bread( the ports of embarkation and disembarkation) can really add flavor and texture to your travel experience. Buenos Aires, Argentina is most certainly at the top

Goldring Travel’s Antarctica Expedition on the Scenic Eclipse (February 2022) – Part II (Getting There)

Goldring Travel February 18, 2022

It has been a bit crazy with all of my recent travel and, of course, having just returned from French Polynesia nine days ago, getting into the Antarctica vibe has been a bit “interesting”. There are, actually, three overriding things that have kept my excitement a bit more reserved than

Goldring Travel’s Antarctica Expedition on the Scenic Eclipse (February 2022) – Part I (Enlightenment)

Goldring Travel February 10, 2022

The Scenic Eclipse is a luxury expedition ship that has been on my radar, but until now it was not really of great interest for my clients. That is until what I consider to be a big change happened this year. (More on that later!) And it is, in large

A Guide to Silversea Cruises: A Look Back…and a Fresh Look Forward

Goldring Travel October 1, 2020

It has been a while since I discussed Silversea Cruises and, to be honest, a lot has changed since then…and those changes have markedly improved both the ships and the service. So let’s dive in! Short Version: Silversea had floundered for many reasons through 2016, putting it near the bottom

Seabourn and “The Thinning of the Herd”

Goldring Travel July 30, 2020

Right up front: A very minor trade paper has spun a rumor that Seabourn and Cunard may be for sale. According to an extremely well-placed source there is no truth to this. If you were to head over to the rumor-monger, “Trade Winds” you can only read the headline and

Seabourn’s 2022 World Cruise!

Goldring Travel July 20, 2020

As we all sit home craving to travel, Seabourn has announced a number of 2021 and 2022 cruises, including its 2022 World Cruise. And, I am really liking this one because it is very different from the past Seabourn World Cruises. The Seabourn Sojourn will not only visit 72 ports
