VISIT EUROPE THIS SUMMER

esconsult1@gmail.com (Ericson C. Smith) — Thu, 09 Apr 26 18:09:32 +0000

Many people opt to visit Europe in the summer for a slew of good reasons: Depending on the locale, it’s often the best weather all year — long daylight hours translate to more time for exploration and discovery (plus, a wide array of festivals and events are held in the summer). One of the best ways to sample vast swaths of the continent is aboard an idyllic river cruise … and AmaWaterways is a prime choice for delightfully decadent river cruising.

This Summer, Discover Europe from the River

In France, the Seine drifts past grand boulevards and Monet’s gardens in Giverny, inviting you to savor the joie de vivre on board with panoramic views, regionally inspired cuisine and gracious service. Along the Danube, history and culture unfold from Vienna’s remarkable architecture to the vineyards of Austria’s Wachau Valley, with excursions tailored to every style of travel. And on the Rhine, Main and Moselle, vineyard-covered hills, medieval castles and storybook towns reveal themselves at a slower, more meaningful pace. With AmaWaterways, each day blends immersive exploration ashore with serene moments on the river — creating a summer journey that’s as enriching as it is unforgettable.

More Reasons to Choose AmaWaterways:

Up to eight onshore experiences to choose from a day, at no additional cost
Complimentary wellness program including host-led exercise classes
Daily Sip & Sail Cocktail Hour
On-hand help with services of a knowledgeable cruise manager

Sun Deck

Now is the perfect time to plan your journey. Enjoy up to $2,000 in savings per stateroom on select departures, and when you reserve through our agency for select dates, receive up to $300 in onboard credit to enhance your time on board.

Our travel professionals agree: “AmaWaterways shines by offering high-end river travel with a personal touch; thanks to their riches of perks, amenities and choices, no two travelers ever have the same day. These cruises are endlessly customizable adventures, chock-full of treats.”

In addition to the choice savings we can supply, our travel agents also have a stockpile of insider tips and recommendations for each and every port you visit. Pair this with the peace of mind that comes from outsourcing all the logistics and bookings to a pro, and you’re set up for a truly luxe summer escape.

If your plans don't allow you to travel this summer, then the promise of the off-season really shines. Learn how rewarding off-season travel is withCity Escapes river cruises.

Destination-Focused Voyages by River and Ocean

esconsult1@gmail.com (Ericson C. Smith) — Fri, 03 Apr 26 13:38:17 +0000

There is no better way to explore the oceans and rivers of the world than aboard one of Viking’s elegant small ships, and there is no better way to plan it than with an expert travel agent. Viking creates destination-focused voyages by river and ocean on all seven continents, and each of these journeys is designed for The Thinking Person.™ When you book through our travel agency, you receive personalized guidance, professional advocacy and access to exclusive value.

Award-Winning River and Ocean Cruising

Viking has been named #1 for Rivers and #1 for Oceans in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards for five consecutive years. Their modern river ships dock in the heart of Europe’s great cities while their state-of-the-art ocean vessels sail globally with longer stays and immersive itineraries. Every voyage is designed to prioritize culture, history and meaningful connection.

Unpack Once and Explore Deeply

Viking allows you to unpack once and explore more. River voyages bring you directly into historic town centers while ocean voyages provide extended time in port and quieter-season opportunities. The result is deeper immersion with fewer crowds and more meaningful access.

Examples of immersive experiences:

Explore Roman Provence at Les Arènes d’Arles and the Pont du Gard
Sail the Rhine past 900-year-old castles and Austria’s Wachau Valley
Visit the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City with fewer crowds in the off-season
Discover Barcelona’s Basílica de la Sagrada Família at a relaxed pace

We ensure you understand what each itinerary includes and how to maximize your time ashore.

Cologne, Germany

Culture Through Cuisine and Wine

A great joy of travel lies in sampling the fresh fare and culinary traditions for which a place is known. Locally sourced ingredients — such as Dutch gouda, Hungarian paprika and Spanish jamón — inspire Viking’s highly trained chefs to create authentic regional dishes on every itinerary. And Viking’s thoughtful wine list enhances your meal, with handpicked selections and onboard tastings that showcase an area’s quintessential varietals.

Why Book Viking with Our Travel Agency?

Selecting the right voyage is only part of the journey. Our agency provides clarity on stateroom categories, itinerary differences and promotional opportunities while managing the details on your behalf. We advocate for you before, during and after travel.

When you book with us, you receive:

Personalized itinerary and ship recommendations
Guidance on pricing, promotions and value-added amenities

Live the Legend of Norway this Winter

esconsult1@gmail.com (Ericson C. Smith) — Tue, 31 Mar 26 17:56:00 +0000

Norway is best experienced along its coastline, where each destination connects to the next and the journey becomes part of the story. With Hurtigruten, you travel through multiple regions in one seamless trip, experiencing local communities, coastal traditions, and the natural rhythm of daily life shaped over centuries.

As Norwegian as You Can Get

For over 130 years, Hurtigruten has invited guests to experience the real coastal life along Norway. Rather than just passing through, you’ll become part of the day-to-day — traveling beside locals, spending time in picturesque ports and experiencing Norway through its rich culture and storytelling via moments on board and ashore. Ultimately, with these authentic moments that unfold from port to port, you’ll become part of the story yourself.

Why You Should Choose Hurtigruten:

All Hurtigruten cruises are officially made in Norway: promising authenticity, sustainability and ethical commitment to the local communities
Small, purpose-built ships sail close to the coastline — allowing you to stay connected to the landscape
Norway’s freshest flavors are brought to life with a menu that changes with the landscape — sourced from local farms, fisheries and bakeries along the coast
Many of the ship’s crew and Expedition Team members hail from the very coastal communities you visit; they’re honored to share their homeland with you

Our travel professionals agree:

“There is no other option for experiencing Norway’s coastline as authentic or as rich with experience as Hurtigruten. Each of their cruises prioritizes depth over speed, connection over spectacle and comfort that enhances discovery.”

Our travel agents are well poised to help you make the most of a cruise with Hurtigruten: Besides having a treasure trove of hard-earned recommendations and insider tips to share, we can also offer you exclusive perks and amenities — the latest being the chance to save up to 30% if you book by April 30, 2026.

Discovering the Future of Wellness Travel in Sweden

lynn.elmhirst@gmail.com (Lynn) — Tue, 31 Mar 26 17:56:00 +0000

Recently in Sweden, I experienced ancient wellness practices intertwined with new science and artistic sensibilities. In many ways, Sweden wrote the book on wellness as a way of life and a travel destination. And my stays at two sister hotels in Stockholm proved the country is in the vanguard of redefining wellness travel again.

In case you missed it, in 2025, Sweden became the first country where doctors can prescribe travel for wellness. The global leader in quality of life, renowned for its thousands-year-old sauna culture, is an inspiration for wellness lifestyle – and a beacon for wellness travelers… and now this:

The “Swedish Prescription”

In a wellness ‘first,’ Sweden has become the first country where patients can download a medical referral form to take to their physician for wellness travel to the country!

The Swedish Prescription isn’t a marketing gimmick. The program is rooted in deeply-held Swedish beliefs and practices, like

‘fika:’ social rituals of connecting with loved ones;
‘lagom,’ or achieving balance, moderation, and sustainability in your way of life;
love of getting outdoors, no matter what the weather, and of course,
sauna and thermal hot/cold practices,

all of which combine to create meaningful and scientifically supported health benefits.

Hagastrand and Hotel J: Beyond the Spa Hotel

All that said, why would anyone go to Sweden in the winter, far enough north that the sun rises after 8 am and sets mid-afternoon?

I went to spend a week immersed in the wellness experiences at 2 of Stockholm's Nobis Hospitality Group hotels: Hagastrand and Hotel J.

The company has set a new gold standard for wellness travel, following a three-year renovation program, masterminded by Alla Sokolova, its Head of Wellness.

“I think every human being has an innate wish to be in their best form,” she explained to me. Her vision for the wellness program at the hotels is for a stay there to be part of a “never-ending learning journey” to help create winning conditions for guests to achieve their maximum performance, their best selves.

HAGASTRAND SPA AND HOTEL

When it re-opened in Fall, 2025 as part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, Hagastrand Spa and Hotel was already billing itself as a “new social wellness destination” in Sweden’s capital. A post-modern building attached to a historic military barracks in the quiet, seaside location of Stockholm’s Royal Park, Hagastrand re-launched with a 27,000 square foot, cutting-edge wellness center with some practices that are the first of their kind.

If you’re imagining a clinical, white-jacketed, James Bond-style European health retreat, think again. Instead, Hagastrand offers warmth, along with a masterful and welcoming blend of ancient practices and advanced therapies, including modern technologies that deliver wellness experiences to guests in one-of-a-kind ways, all under one roof.

There’s also a focus on music, “a universal language” that “everyone can relate to,” Alla adds.

“Tuning our bodies and our minds,” as she puts it.

Hagastrand’s facilities incorporate both traditional Nordic and international wellness practices, as well as sensory design and the newer concept of ‘biohacking.’

Along with treatment rooms and private suites you expect to find in a spa or wellness center, Hagastrand’s includes:

Underwater therapeutic music in its 18-meter indoor pool;
A Thermal center, with multiple saunas, including herbal and hammam, and also:
- Sweden’s first "Event Sauna," one of the few in the world, for up to 60 guests. As an ‘event,’ one of Hagastrand’s trained sauna masters invites guests in the wellness center to join them in a paced series of rituals where the sauna master employs herbs, music, infused ice, and spoken word to lead guests through a wellness journey that changes every time.
- Scandinavia's largest snow room for cryotherapy
Experience showers, red light therapy, and neuro-acoustic massage loungers.
Gongs, handmade in Italy, including a giant (as tall as a person) gong at the end of the pool played by hand by sauna masters, and
- in the ‘Gongmatic’ room (pictured, top), a ‘self-playing’ gong – also the first in the Nordic countries – which plays in timed performances as guests lie on warm ceramic lounge beds. The audio art installation immerses guests in vibrations and invites them to embark on a meditative journey.
Cardi suit – like a giant diving dry suit with hands and feet, except that a therapist fills this suit with carbon dioxide. The therapy increases blood flow to the cells, resulting in improved oxygen delivery, performance, and rest. Cardi suits are already used extensively by high-performance athletes, but are rarely available to the wellness-seeking public – including me!

The state-of-the-art wellness experiences flow harmoniously with the new versions of familiar practices and are woven seamlessly into a hotel stay that includes warmly Nordic accommodations, stylish bars, and a fine dining restaurant (no restricted, seaweed smoothie diet here unless you wish!) that even drew a member of the Swedish Royal Family while we were dining one evening.

HOTEL J

Sister property Hotel J draws inspiration from its location on the Stockholm archipelago in a Newport, Rhode Island-type neighborhood of illustrious and historic seaside homes.

The nautical and natural themes run deep, from stunning water views and terraces overlooking the sea, extensive gardens that are not just visual but also harvested for wellness herbs and botanicals, and, of course, its wellness offering.

Hotel J’s Sauna by the Sea is a ritual all the more memorable for its location in the Panorama Sauna perched on rocks rising from the waves. The sauna itself is on the second story, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing the perfect vantage point over the sea to become part of your herbal-infused sauna ritual. And a cold plunge into a wintery sea is just steps out the door to conclude your authentic Swedish sauna!

But we also got off property, accompanied by ‘nature therapist’ Lisen Sundgren, who took us on a Swedish interpretation of that famous Japanese wellness practice, ‘forest bathing.’ During a walk in a nature reserve next door in the twilight, where dimming sight helped sharpen our other senses as we were guided to literally feel, hear, and smell the woods. We ended up on a rocky lookout over the sea and the lights of Stockholm on the opposite side of the archipelago, sipping her homemade Swedish rosehip soup and communing by the mystical twinkles of lamp light.

SANCTUM

From the primal forest… to a wellness rave!

In another ‘first,’ Hagastrand and Hotel J’s parent company has introduced ‘Sanctum’ to the Nordics as part of its wellness experience offering. We were invited to the launch party at the Nobis Hospitality Group’s event space at the Stockholm Opera House.

Sanctum hosts these ‘wellness raves’ around the world for a growing community drawn to the euphoric release of its hour-long, high-intensity, music-led 55-minute sessions that combine HIIT, Kundalini yoga, breathwork, and meditation. Ours in Stockholm was candle-lit in the awe-inspiring historic surroundings… in complete silence, with sound healing, music, and guidance delivered through headphones.

***

Embracing the widest interpretations of wellness lived through ancient traditions, Nature, technology, art, and the most welcoming Scandinavian culture and lifestyle… these Swedish hotels are setting the stage for a new global approach to wellness travel.

The Nobis Hospitality Group’s founder gives all the credit for the hotels’ pioneering wellness journeys to Head of Wellness Alla Sokolova – a risk, but a calculated one, with a simple foundation of beauty and hospitality.

“Everybody today is talking about longevity and all these things, and sometimes it's too much,” Alessandro Catenacci, owner and CEO of the family-owned Nobis Hospitality Group, told me.

“I hate the word ‘trend.’”

He acknowledges that the groundbreaking wellness offerings of the two hotels are “a new thing for us,” but “things are not so complicated usually if you do it in the right way.” He points out that wellness practices are a natural way of life for Swedes.

“We are a sauna family.

“And this is very important because you, you can't go on doing things if you don't like that. I love it, really.”

Hagastrand and Hotel J may be on the leading edge. But advanced wellness experiences for travel are no longer a novel trend.

As more travelers intentionally incorporate their wellness practices from home into their travels to new destinations, and expand their wellness horizons while traveling, wellness hospitality will take the lead from Hagastrand and Hotel J in helping us discover the destinations’ best experiences to hone our mental, physical, and spiritual health.
