Exploring Oasis of the Seas With Its James Beard Award-Winning Chef, Royal Suite Class & On-Board Entertainment

Dec 29, 2015  |   Contributor: Chad Chisholm

Walking up the dock to board Oasis of the Seas, I felt as though I was entering an office building or shopping mall, instead of a ship. Dwarfing the Titanic, this luxury liner is Royal Caribbean’s second largest vessel. Towering over the pier below, it sits over 230 feet above the water and measures in at 1,185 feet long. Home to numerous pools, food outlets, zip lining, theaters, a casino and the first-ever floating city park, Oasis first set sail in 2009. On this trip we visited Nassau, St. Thomas and St Martin.

Cruise From Prague to Berlin Year-Round Aboard Paddle-Wheeled MS Elbe Princesse

Dec 10, 2014  |   Contributor: JustLuxe Team

On Hurtigrurten in February: A Norwegian Voyage Into The Mystic

Jun 10, 2014  |   Contributor: Susan Kime

"Hark, now hear the sailors cry/Smell the sea and feel the sky/Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic,” Van Morrison wrote these lyrics back in the 1970s, and those same words, “into the mystic,” followed me like a determined seagull on the Hurtigruten Midnatsol voyage I took this past February.

Bud Light Hotel To Take Over New Norwegian Luxury Liner For Super Bowl Weekend 2014

Nov 27, 2013  |   Contributor: Nicolle Monico

It’s no secret that when it comes to the Super Bowl, companies tend to go overboard with their advertising, in hopes of gaining immediate attention but also to connect in a way that secures longtime commitment from consumers. It should come as no surprise then that Anheuser-Busch — whose ads have included heart-warming tales of Clydesdale horses for Budwesier and last year’s creative Lucky Chair for Bud Light — is gearing up for another big advertising venture. This year, to promote their Bud Light brand, the company has their sights set on the high seas.

Plan a 2014 Adventure Cruise Through Snowy Greenland on Hurtigruten's MS Fram

Sep 16, 2013  |   Contributor: Nicolle Monico

Scenic River Cruises' Newest 'Space-Ship' Lands in Europe

Apr 26, 2013  |   Contributor: Tara Imperatore

Here's one 'Space-Ship' you wouldn't mind being beamed up into: Scenic Cruises' newest river boat, Scenic Jewel. It fits in quite nicely with the six other precious and semi-precious stone themed vessels Scenic Crystal, Diamond, Emerald, Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire. We’ll have to venture a guess that Scenic Cruises is calling their collection 'Space-Ships' so passengers know they'll have plenty of room to move around once on board. It sounds so simple and perhaps unnecessary until you're crammed into a tiny stateroom and have to shower over your toilet. Times they are a changin'.... Read More
