Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) is the parent company of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Oceania Cruises, and Norwegian Cruise Line; a combination that has combined three independent cruise lines essentially through the tenacity (some – many? – would say I am being kind) of Frank Del Rio. It has been a tumultuous history to date
Last week I wrote a brief article about the pretty rapid demise of Josh Leibowitz as president of Seabourn Cruise Line. Leibowitz is Out as President of Seabourn – What the Heck is Going On? What I honestly didn’t expect were the communications – direct and indirect – from Seabourn folks: current and former, employees and
It was announced today that Josh Leibowitz – who, admittedly, was truly my nemesis – is out as Seabourn’s president; a notably brief tenure of less than three years. The announcement states that “he is leaving the brand to pursue new opportunities”, which usually means he was involuntarily terminated. This is of note, since previously
“Tolerance versus Trust” is the best way to describe my brief journey to Bogota, Colombia. As a human being and as a traveler (they usually are interconnected) it wound up being one of those journeys that truly touched me…and made me a better person. My journey was eye-opening, educational, thought-provoking, frustrating, and truly enjoyable. But
One thing I wasn’t really expecting when I decided to travel to Colombia was a Michelin Star level of cuisine or, to be honest, such a cacophony of flavors that are unique and subtle at the same time. As you know from my first day’s local culinary and cultural experience: Goldring Travel Heads to Colombia –

So what made me want to travel to Colombia? It was a combination of things; one was planned, one was fortuitous, and with a bit of personal shame, a desire to see if it was time to rid myself of a prejudice. The “plan” was an invitation from the Colombian government’s tourism authority to participate
Great news for those who love Windstar Cruises: It just announced it is adding broadband Starlink internet to its ships…and the Star Pride already has it up and running! The rest of the fleet is scheduled to have it installed by mid-2023. The Star Legend is next to have it installed, followed in the Spring
As the world gets smaller and travel to less visited places becomes more popular, there is only one thing to do: Experience Them! Colombia has been on my radar for quite a while, but to be honest, I was a bit concerned since I spent the late 70’s and early 80’s living in Miami, Florida
The expedition experience provided by Chimu Adventures/Intrepid Travel in Antarctica was, without question, an impressive one. In fact, there was so much offered and, more importantly, accomplished, that discussing them in a chronological order just doesn’t do it justice. When I was first approached by Chimu Adventures to experience its new product I was a
