Ecoventura: Relais & Chateaux Yachting in the Galapagos – Part I

Goldring Travel January 8, 2026

I was approached by Ecoventura to experience its unique Relais & Chateaux approach to the Galapagos when I was there this past October, asking to literally jump off one ship and onto one of its yachts. As tempting as it was, my schedule didn’t allow me to do that. But that was then, and this is now. And a great way to start off 2026, Ecoventura’s 35th anniversary of sailing in the Galapagos. Ecoventura has

Seven Continents in One Year: How This Travel Year Transformed the Perspectives of a Travel Writer & Advisor

Goldring Travel January 7, 2026

In 2025, I traveled to and enjoyed time on all seven continents. While it was, at times, grueling, and a couple of times I wondered if the magic was escaping, overall it was a truly eye-opening, inspiring, and transformative year…both individually and as a travel writer and advisor. When laid out, it becomes clear that not only was the scope of my journeys by landmass, but also by type of experience, focus of those experiences,

Tasmania – An Overlooked Destination for Wildlife and Natural Beauty

Goldring Travel December 29, 2025

I was fortunate to have been invited to the Naming Ceremony and Shake-Down cruise of the Douglas Mawson expedition ship, sailing from Sydney, Australia to Hobart, Tasmania; the “other” Australia. I figured that since I was flying all that way, I should spend a few days discovering Tasmania after I disembarked. That was a great decision. Over the next four days, I would be exploring the Freycinet Peninsula, Coles Bay, and Maria Island, with my

Aurora Expeditions: An Expedition Company with Passion, Purpose, and Peacefulness

Goldring Travel December 20, 2025

Recently I was invited to the Naming Ceremony for Aurora Expeditions’ newest expedition ship, Douglas Mawson, and to spend four days on her on a shake-down cruise from Sydney, Australia to Hobart, Tasmania. It wound up being more than a party and a short cruise. It was an opportunity to spend time with Aurora Expeditions’ founders and owners and to better understand and appreciate their collective ethos. I came away with a few important perspectives:

Goldring Travel is a full service and exclusive travel agency that specializes in luxury and exotic cruises, expeditions, river cruises and land tours/experiences.  Eric Goldring, a true luxury travel professional, is a travel agent that is friendly, very approachable, and down to earth, does not sell from a computer screen.  Eric travels extensively, analyzing each cruise ship, port, hotel, expedition, and overall travel experience; so much so that many cruise lines actively seek out his analysis and recommendations.  

That is why Eric has been named to Travel & Leisure Magazine’s highly curated A-List for Travel Agents, noting Eric’s being a Specialist in Expedition, Small and Medium Cruises.

Want more proof?  Please read Eric’s blog, “Making Waves“!  There are real differences when comparing, say Silversea vs. Seabourn and those have changed, and will continue to change, so do  keep in mind that while providing expert insight is as of that moment,  cruise lines do upgrade, slip, change their offerings and amenities and even ships. So use my articles as a guide to asking more questions, not as if they answer all of them. Goldring Travel loves answering questions; especially keeping in mind the perspectives of each client because one thing is for sure: When discussing “What is Your Luxury?” an expert in luxury, exclusive and exotic travel focuses on the client’s desires and dreams. 

Eric also regularly speaks to and for the travel industry, whether at The New York Times Travel Show or in Italy at the Italian Federation of Travel Agents conference or at the Seatrade Cruise Shipping Conference, or as a panelist at a variety of conferences.  You can be assured that when Goldring Travel recommends a luxury, exclusive and/or exotic travel experience to you, it is with personal knowledge…and a commitment to earning your business; not just for one journey, but for your lifetime!

Look around our website as there is a lot of information available. No, you cannot book your luxury or exotic vacation online with Goldring Travel. As a general rule, I do not post “special” prices, but encourage you to call at (877) 2GO-LUXURY or on one of my international numbers or email me so that we can determine the best cruise line or operator, level of service and itinerary so that we can provide you with the best value.  Why? Because I want you to be the most educated traveler you can be…and we know that the lowest price is usually not the best value.

Ocean and Expedition Cruises

We are one of the top travel agents – worldwide – having been one of Seabourn Cruise Line’s top agencies for many years, but now working even closer with Silversea, Windstar and a number of the top Expedition companies including Scenic, Quark Expeditions, Silversea Expeditions and Lindblad Expeditions, to name a few.  In short, we work closely, and have excellent relationships with, most every major cruise line.  

We also have special expertise and experience with Azamara, Oceania, SeaDream Yacht Club and, Celebrity cruise lines, but also some lesser known lines such as Ponant and Paul Gauguin.

Interested in a River Cruise

AmaWaterways, Uniworld, Scenic, Tauck, and Avalon, are well worth considering.

Luxury Land Vacations

Goldring Travel offers you everything from fully customized individual experiences to luxury tours in Europe and Asia to Amazon River Experiences to Luxury Safaris in Africa from Abercrombie & Kent, Tauck, Micato and other highly vetted operators.

Food, Wine and Culture

Every year Eric Goldring personally arranges and escorts a small group on annual Culinary & Cultural (Food & Wine) Cruises  with special complimentary events such as a private tour and wine tasting at Chateau Margaux in Bordeaux, France; personally harvesting sturgeon eggs, making caviar and then enjoying a paired luncheon with caviar served a dozen different ways in Montevideo, Uruguay; a paired wine tasting while sailing down the Danube River; or, a cruise line’s executive chef creating a truly unique gourmet experience only for us.
