Breeze Custom Travel

Expedition cruising is becoming one of the most requested categories on my books, and the reason is simple. You no longer have to choose between adventure and comfort.

The newest expedition ships handle the cold, the logistics, and the comfort, so all you have to do is take it in. Zodiacs and naturalist-led landings by day, a hot shower and fine dining by night. Three regions my travelers are asking about most:

Antarctica, for the once-in-a-lifetime version of cold. Calving glaciers, penguin colonies, and ice in every direction.

The Arctic Circle, for Iceland and Greenland. Waterfalls, volcanic coastlines, towering icebergs, and a real shot at the northern lights from the deck.

The Galápagos, for the warm-weather side. Snorkeling with sea lions, giant tortoises up close, and wildlife so unbothered by people it practically poses.

Departures are limited and book a year or more in advance, so the best cabins go early. If one of these is on your list, let's start planning.

What does the most ultra-private, most exclusive island resort in Southeast Asia actually look like? This.

Amanpulo sits on Pamalican Island in the Philippines, in the Sulu Sea, accessible only by chartered flight from Manila. Here's what you can expect at one of the world's most exclusive addresses:

42 private casitas spread across the island, a house reef you can snorkel directly from the beach, dive sites with some of the most remarkable visibility and coral cover in Southeast Asia, and not a single day visitor in sight. The beach is yours, the schedule is yours, and the only transportation on the island is a golf cart.

This is one of the most exclusive trips I plan. Reach out if you'd like to be next.
