A photo that makes you want to travel.
What does a well-dressed boomer wear to carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? How about one of the costumes from the Carnival Museum? When our Regent Seven Seas Navigator cruise ended in Rio, after sailing across the Atlantic from Cape Town, we had the entire day to tour with a private guide before our plane […]
Alan photographed this gorgeous scene as Regent Seven Seas Voyager sailed from Longyearbyen on a Norwegian cruise itinerary that began and ended in Denmark. So where is Longyearbyen? Located on the island of Sptizbergen in the administrative area of Svalbard, Norway, Longyearbyen is the most northerly town in the world. Voyager was cruising toward the […]
Boomer cruisers, when you picture a sunset photo taken from the deck of your favorite cruise ship, does sailing the Caribbean or South Pacific come to mind? Think again.

Baby boomer travelers will find that Monroe Beach is the prize at the end of a 45-minute rainforest walk on the west coast of New Zealand.
