Goldring Travel’s 2020 Culinary & Cultural Cruise (Reboot)

Goldring Travel June 1, 2020

Goldring Travel’s Culinary & Cultural Cruise is always something special and this year’s original version sailing through Greece and Turkey, with special events in Santorini, Greece and Istanbul, Turkey was cancelled by the cruise line due to a delay in the ship’s refitting. But when one door closes another opens and, thus, Goldring Travel is

Rick Meadows Retires as President of Seabourn…and Seabourn Will Survive and Thrive.

Goldring Travel May 13, 2020

Yesterday it was announced that Rick Meadows was retiring as President of Seabourn Cruise Line and from its parent company, Carnival Corporation. It is, of course, upsetting when the head of any company departs; mostly because of the unknown, though sometimes because he/she was the face of the company and its inspiration. Some clients, Seabourn

What is So Special About Each Luxury Cruise Line? It’s Time for Them to Get Creative!

Goldring Travel June 7, 2019

I have, for years, been asking the question of each luxury cruise line, “What makes your cruise line so special?” and over the past decade Silversea, Seabourn, Regent Seven Seas, and Crystal have responded with a variety of answers; each seeking to differentiate themselves. (I would be remiss if I did not include Grill Class

How Viking Cruises (River and Ocean) is Killing the Goose That Laid the Golden Egg

Goldring Travel April 17, 2019

Three things have happened in the past few weeks that have brought Viking Cruises to the fore in my mind…and not in a good way: The Viking Sky’s near catastrophe The Viking Idun collision with a chemical tanker (The Viking Freya collided with a bridge in 2016) The collapse of river cruise pricing I have,

Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Finally Staffing Up…And It Creates Some SHORT TERM Concerns

Goldring Travel March 28, 2019

The last thing I want to do is discourage anyone from entering the luxury cruise market. I believe the more diversity and approaches to delivering the luxury (or, as so many say, ultra-luxury…whatever that is) cruise experience. But…Don’t I always have a “but”? As enthusiastic as I am about the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection starting up,

Silversea Cruises & Royal Caribbean – Synergies Both Financial and Operational Result in RCI’s 66% Stake in Silversea Cruises

Goldring Travel June 14, 2018

It was announced today that Royal Caribbean Cruises will acquire 66% of Silversea Cruises, bringing both something each needed. I think it is going to be a very good things for both parties…and that is something that rarely happens. I will, of course, focus on the luxury end of things; with some historical perspective.

Budget Cruises Pitching Luxury: You Don’t Get What You Pay For, You Only Think You Do…Because You Have a Bad Travel Agent!

Goldring Travel April 3, 2011

Yesterday I performed a ship inspection of the Norwegian Cruise Lines’s Norwegian Gem in New York City. It was, to be sure, both interesting and educational, but more importantly, frustrating and even depressing. I am not talking about the ship or the staff of the Norwegian Gem. Everyone was pleasant…at least the ones that acknowledged
