Sailing to tranquility on Vista, Oceania’s luxury new cruise superstar

Apr 3, 2024 | theceomagazine.com | Ruth Devine

Strange as it may sound, it was a flight of steps which first made me (figuratively) fall overboard for Oceania’s newest cruise liner, Vista. There is nothing like a sweeping staircase to set a scene of opulence and the one in the soaring atrium of this 68,000 metric ton vessel is particularly fine.

At the tail end of 2021, I became Substack’s first U.K. hire. My remit: to help British writers and creators find an exciting new home on Substack. Since then, some of Britain’s most revered writers and culture makers have found their way to Substack: Stephen Fry, author Elif Shafak, journalist India Knight, and superstar philosopher Slavoj Zizek, to name just a few.
Hayman Island: Paradise Found

Mar 13, 2024 | theceomagazine.com | Ruth Devine

There’s a scene in the darkly comedic HBO drama The White Lotus where the staff of the tropical resort line up to greet arriving guests with carefully choreographed waving. That’s precisely where my mind goes as our golf buggy taking us from the marina pulls up outside the main entrance to the InterContinental Hayman Island Resort and see our own welcoming party. But while the TV show quickly descends into murderous chaos, thankfully that’s where the resemblance ends.
How birth trauma led to a global mission

Feb 25, 2024 | theceomagazine.com | Ruth Devine

Pivotal moments strike when they’re least expected. Some borne through happiness, some through tragedy and yet more through the specter of what could have been if life’s sliding doors had opened a fraction sooner – or later. Crossroads presented, decisions to make, pathways to take. For Christy Turlington Burns, the pivotal moment that has led and shaped much of her life for the last 20 years came on 23 October 2003 with the birth of her first child.
Enjoy a memorable and luxurious cruise around the Greek Islands

Aug 23, 2023 | theceomagazine.com | Marie Barbieri |Laura Itzkowitz |Georgie Young |Ruth Devine

Bougainvillea climbs in a palette of pinks along sun-soaked whitewashed walls. Ginger cats nonchalantly splay across terracotta pithos-lined patios. The distant chime of donkey bells echoes until the sudden clash of crockery escapes a tiny home. Chased by an elder cloaked in black and shooing with a wooden spoon and threadbare tea towel, the chicken is long gone.
Enjoy unspoiled surroundings in these luxury treehouse retreats

Aug 17, 2023 | theceomagazine.com | Georgie Young |Laura Itzkowitz |Ruth Devine

Taking to the treetops is no longer a childhood dream. In recent years, luxury hotels have sprouted in trees all over the world – and there’s not a rusty nail or soggy plank in sight. Instead, you’ll find surprisingly suave interiors, with wood-burning stoves, bubbling hot tubs and sky-high private pools.
Addicted to Maldives Co-Founders dispel myths about the Maldives

Aug 14, 2023 | theceomagazine.com | Georgie Young |Ruth Devine

Three truths the Addicted to Maldives team live by are: not all jobs are a grind, not all preconceptions are true and not all destinations are created equal. For Di and Paul Lechner, the Co-Founders of Addicted to Maldives – a destination management company that specializes in boutique, luxury travel to the Maldives – their job is anything but mundane. It has taken them to their favorite island nation 50-plus times and has established them as experts on the global travel stage.
How to enjoy one day in Portofino

Aug 10, 2023 | theceomagazine.com | Laura Itzkowitz |Ruth Devine |Georgie Young

Once a tiny fishing village, Portofino has been an international symbol of la dolce vita since the 1950s and 60s, when movie stars and other VIPs like Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Frank Sinatra and Brigitte Bardot vacationed there. Today, the marina is dotted with yachts instead of fishing boats, as the rich and famous still flock to this idyllic part of the Italian Riviera. Some, like Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, even own a villa there.
Make the most of a trip to Antarctica with these luxury adventures

Aug 8, 2023 | theceomagazine.com | Georgie Young |Ruth Devine |Laura Itzkowitz |Lee Cobaj

“I don’t know anyone who’s been to Antarctica who hasn’t been profoundly changed by this place,” says polar explorer and adventurer Ben Saunders, gesturing toward a large photograph of himself giving two thumbs up at the South Pole. “It is mind-blowing.”It’s a common utterance from travelers who have returned from the white desert.
