The rocks rose hundreds of feet above our boat as we slid between the fanglike formations. Bushes and vines swung from limestone karsts like tendrils of intestines left after a gluttonous meal. About a dozen of us gaped from the deck as we passed the high-rise sculptures carved over millions of years into mounds of spikes and cavities. Almost 2,000 of these islets and islands dot the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, creating an ominous beauty. It wasn’t hard to imagine why it provided the backdrop of Kong: Skull Island. On Day 3 of our 12-day tour of Vietnam with G-Adventu ..read more

The Farne Islands are a National Nature Reserve, operated by the National Trust, an independent conservation charity founded in 1895. The organization oversees many of the country’s national heritage properties and open spaces and wants to preserve them for everyone to enjoy. The Farne Islands are a major b ..read more

Some ships are designed for relaxation and reflection. Norwegian Viva is not. That isn’t to say there aren’t plenty of spaces for tranquility on board, like the flotation salt pool in the thermal suite oasis or even the plush sofas of the indoor observation lounge, but this ship was truly built for the curious and excited. If the boat’s life-affirming name wasn’t clue enough, interactive art installations, go-karts and the world’s first free-fall dry slide should quickly set the tone. Last fall, I joined Norwegian Viva for its christening in Miami and sailed to Great Stirrup Cay, the brand’s p ..read more
