5 days ago | boldtraveller.ca | Marlon Moreno

Fairmont Pacific Rim has just unveiled Suite X, a one-of-a-kind collaboration with iconic Canadian artist and author Douglas Coupland—and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.

Where to have the best oysters in Virginia Beach

“I think we’re going to be friends, Miss Vivian. It’s such a lovely name to say.”THIS VIRGINIA GENTLEMAN’S twang is coming at me from Chris Ludford, while shaking my hand, and looking down at me from under his wide-brimmed straw hat. Under said brim, I spy friendly eyes, a broad smile and his Santa-white beard, which has gone a bit wild, with ringlets that would make any curly-haired beauty envious.
3 Proven Luxury Retreats to Lose Weight and Recharge Your Health

THE BATHROOM SCALE. After a vacation. I’m sure I’m not the only one who dreads this moment of truth. The price I inevitably pay for holiday indulgences averages about five hard-to-shed pounds. So, imagine my delight when I returned from a rejuvenating getaway at Hilton Head Health, and the scale had moved five pounds in the opposite direction. Residential weight loss programs are nothing new. In the 1960s and ’70s, “fat camps” began to make an appearance.
Ship Review: Explora Journeys’ Explora II - from the Mediterranean and beyond

1 month ago | boldtraveller.ca | Vivian Vassos

SAILING ON THE MAIDEN voyage of a ship is an occasion worth remembering; sailing on Explora Journeys’ Explora II is memorable indeed. The younger sister of Explora I made its debut in September 2024, with a splashy naming ceremony and the naming of a new president, Anna Nash. The inaugural sailing launched from Civitavecchia near Rome (Explora II’s home port), and down Italy’s southwest coast with stops on the Amalfi Coast, the Aeolian Islands and onward to Sicily.
Places to Stay: The Titanic Hotel Belfast, Northern Ireland

1 month ago | boldtraveller.ca | Loren Christie

The Titanic Hotel Belfast occupies the former headquarters of Harland & Wolff, the renowned Belfast shipwrights who constructed what might be the most famous ship in history, the RMS Titanic. The hotel beautifully combines the two original Drawing Rooms where Titanic was conceived, the Harland & Wolff offices and newly built additions, such as the reception area and Harland Bar with modern glass throughways, which seamlessly blend the old into the more modern spaces.
Yacht Goals: Inside a 6-Star Mediterranean Cruise with Scenic Eclipse

1 month ago | boldtraveller.ca | Liz Fleming

AN UPSCALE RIVER CRUISE ship usually accommodates fewer than 200 guests, but if you’re looking for something just as intimate, Scenic Cruises offers a unique way to explore lesser-known destinations with their luxury yacht itineraries, on Scenic Eclipse I and Scenic Eclipse II, what the company has coined “The World’s First Discovery Yachts.” Because the vessels are diminutive, they can take pampered guests to smaller, off-the-beaten-path ports and ensure that the number of guests – about 230...
Postcard from: Salt Spring Island, British Columbia

“NATURE IS MAGIC,” says Robert Bateman, one of Canada’s most acclaimed painters. The variety and richness of the natural world is what he absorbs and expresses in his paintings. He lives on Salt Spring Island, and he’s far from the only artist here. In fact, this gulf island, located between Nanaimo and Victoria off the coast of Vancouver Island has the highest percentage of artists in Canada.
Inside Explora Journeys’ Ocean Wellness Spa: Relaxation at Sea

1 month ago | boldtraveller.ca | Vivian Vassos

IT ONLY TAKES ME a moment to take a deep breath and exhale. I’m on Explora I, Explora Journeys’ first ship (Explora II set sail in August 2024), breathing in The Spa’s cool earth tones mingled with natural textures and organic shapes, encouraging the mind to settle, and the body to relax. The Thermal area alone is enough to instil a sense of well-being.
Best Wellness Retreat in Mexico: A Week at Rancho La Puerta

1 month ago | boldtraveller.ca | Margaret Swaine

RANCHO LA PUERTA has been on my mind for decades. Over the years my friends have gone there and come back raving about the healing powers of its programs. One day I’ll get there, I promised myself. That day finally came last year when the timing worked out for my husband and me. We flew to San Diego and were picked up at the airport with others for the approximately 90 minute bus drive across the border to the resort.
