New Travel ideas for your next vacation

Want to travel but you need some fresh new travel ideas for your next vacation?  Check out these hot off the press:

Tauck

Sydney, from Sydney .com

Tauck is one of our favorite tour operators. They provide luxury as well as authentic experiences. But they also take you to places that others simply don't go.  Here's a sneak peak at their new for 2019 trips.

• 20 day Australia and New Zealand cruise
• 11 day Scotland and it's islands including 7 day cruise
• 12 day tour of the US Great Lakes including a 7 day cruise
• 7 night cruise through Alaska's inside passage - includes canoe safaris and sled dog experience
• 9 day expedition to Norwegian islands including 7 night cruise in the Artic Ocean

Here's more info on the Celebrity Flora  which holds 100 passengers, features anchorless technology (to protect the sea floor), outwardly facing designs to allow 360 degree views, all the suites have floor to ceiling windows and furnishings are all made locally.  Excursions will have no more than 12 passengers - nice!  Experiencing the Galapogos on a purpose built ship is a great new travel idea.

Norwegian

Ok this isn't new but it may be new to you.  Ever hear of a ship inside a ship?  On Norwegian it's called The Haven which is a private enclave within a large ship experience.  Suites feature butler, private dining, lounge and pool areas at the top of the ship.  Oh, and you get priority in all the specialty restaurants and experiences on board.  So if you like the entertainment, variety and/or feel of a large ship, but want a small ship experience in terms of service, privacy and quality, check out the Haven on NCL.

Keukenhof Gardens
