Embroidery, terracotta and marquetry are regularly renewed, making every visit a new discovery.

Spain - Best of Extremadura

Private tour with chauffeur to the unknown Spain with its rich cultural treasures

It was the Romans who brought Extremadura onto the stage of European history; Merida was one of the most important cities in the entire empire at the time.

Of course, you also have the best opportunities to see the mammals of the Pantanal if you are lucky: Lowland tapirs, capybaras, giant otters, maned wolves, swamp deer, pampas deer, coatis, the great anteaters, black howler monkeys, crested capuchin monkeys, tamandua or small anteaters and the shy big cats such as jaguars and ocelots. On this intensive nature expedition trip, the focus is on experiencing nature, and the quality of the lodges is very basic but acceptable and offers the best that is available locally. Various tours on this nature trip take place off-road in converted off-road vehicles and in smaller, simple boats, which are equipped with radios and are always accompanied by experienced guides.

BVLGARI Dubai Luxury

Luxury hotel Bulgari Dubai: Experience magical moments of luxury at Jumeirah Bay in the heart of Dubai

Dubai is one big contrast. The capital of the emirate of the same name on the Persian Gulf offers a unique blend of modernity and tradition, of new and old: around you, you will see numerous gigantic skyscrapers that sparkle like palaces in the sun - and in their shadows, the legendary wooden dhows sail leisurely along Dubai Creek. You will marvel at the huge shopping malls with their incredible range of exclusive fashion, exquisite jewellery and goods from all over the world. Then visit the time-honoured souk, the old market with its thousands of exotic scents and the finest regional handicrafts. Enjoy the culinary specialities of award-winning star cuisine and explore the traditional cuisine in typical local restaurants. Numerous sights and possible top-class leisure activities create exciting experiences for every taste: where else in the world can you glide over real snow on skis in one minute and a little later be riding a desert buggy on sand dunes? With all this exotic variety, it's no wonder that Dubai has become one of the most prestigious and popular travel destinations in the world in recent years. Follow the lure of the dazzling emirate on a luxury trip to Dubai. The new Bulgari Dubai is one of the Italian group's six luxury hotels, resplendent in lavish splendour and elegant design, with its own marina, yacht club, Michelin-starred cuisine and a fleet of black Maserati limousines. The stylish resort is located on a seahorse-shaped island in front of the elegant Jumeirah district, with the skyline of Downtown Dubai glistening in the background.

Dubai & Abu Dhabi: Architecture, Art & Design

Personalised luxury trip to architecture, art & design in the Persian Gulf

The sea of sand seems to stretch out into the distance forever. The sun's rays burn down hot, making the desert glow in the distance. It shines silver on the horizon. Silver? Really. The view sharpens. Bit by bit, the outlines of numerous buildings and skyscrapers emerge against the blue sky. As if from nowhere, it suddenly appears, immovable, an oasis at the end of the desert: Dubai. City of luxury dreams. City of star architects. The city of 1001 nights. You have to blink for a moment in the face of the magnificent skyline that stretches up before you. You can hardly believe that you are finally here, living the fairytale you have been dreaming of for so long. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the magical desert in between.

Aqua Mekong - Cambodia, Vietnam

Travelling on the Aqua Mekong, you will experience a cultural journey through Cambodia and Vietnam on board one of the best river cruise ships in Asia.

Architect David Hodkinson from the Noor Design studio in Saigon designed this floating 5-star hotel. He was inspired by the aesthetics of Indochina and furnished the Aqua Mekong in a modern style exclusively with local, ecologically sustainable natural materials. The impressions from the outside are continued on the inside. Polished wooden floors, sofas in classically simple elegance made of natural fibre fabric, lounge furniture made of woven cane or water hyacinth and the lush decor of exotic flowers and plants ensure a 1:1 implementation of every feel-good requirement. Of course, this also applies to the outdoor pool, the open-air bar on the Observation Deck, the library, the spa with massage services and the varied excursion programme led by local guides. Needless to say, the galley is run by a Michelin-starred chef!

The Aqua Mekong presents itself beautifully and very elegantly with modern architecture and interior design, based on a design by the renowned architect Noor Design. The 20 spacious, air-conditioned suites of the Mekong cruise ship will delight you thanks to their full-length windows, which offer a spectacular panoramic view of the ever-changing Mekong landscape. The Aqua Mekong also received the coveted Gold Award in the Architecture/New Construction category at the Asia Hotel Design Awards 2015. While the Aqua Mekong offers you a luxurious passage through Cambodia and Vietnam, you will also embark on an inspired and inspiring journey with local flavours and a culinary experience crafted by Michelin-starred chef David Thompson. The ship's bar menu, created by renowned spirits experts and cocktail designers Proof & Co, will show you a philosophy that is sure to be to your taste with every visit.

The Aqua Mekong also guarantees you the highest level of safety, comfort and exclusivity for offshore excursions, as Aqua Expeditions owns and operates the only private fleet of launches on the Mekong. The four ergonomically designed launches allow you to enjoy highly personalised day trips to sights, temples and villages that are home to tradition, spirituality and craftsmanship. It goes without saying that it is part of Aqua Expeditions' philosophy to preserve the beautiful rivers of this world that they sail. Environmentally friendly and responsible behaviour is an absolute must here - this applies in the Mekong Delta as well as in the Amazon. Because only with care will others also be able to enjoy the experiences that you might tell your loved ones of another generation: Of funny monkeys, snoozing sloths, dangerous caimans, chattering parrots and other colourful birds whose names you may not know, but which have enchanted you with their exotic splendour. The endless green of the rainforest can admittedly be described in words, but the real experience of experiencing the green lungs of our planet in all their complexity and perfection can of course only be had on site. And the most comfortable way to do this is on board the "Aqua Negra", which lets you discover the wonderful world of the Amazon in Peru for a choice of three, four or seven nights.

 

5★Regent Porto Montenegro

Luxury Hotel Regent Porto Montenegro & Bay of Kotor - two sparkling jewels

Once you have checked into the Regent Porto Montenegro, you can let your gaze wander undisturbed over the fantastic Bay of Kotor and its marina and feel a touch of Venetian flair in this hotel. There is a reason for this, of course. The bay has mostly been in different historical and political hands than the rest of the country. Western Rome, but also the Habsburgs and - particularly lastingly - the Venetians left their mark on the area. Accordingly, historical evidence of the various ruling powers can be found everywhere today. The Bay of Kotor, a Mediterranean version of a fjord, is therefore not only worth travelling to for its scenic features and beauty, but also for its many historical and religious sites. A multi-coloured, sparkling jewel of the still young country of Montenegro.

This also applies to the luxury hotel Regent Porto Montenegro, the brightest star in the local luxury hotel sky. The warm and courteous service leaves nothing to be desired. The wonderful spa area and the magnificent pool landscape will put you in the best holiday mood.

Aqua Blu - Raja Ampat

The 8-day and 13-day cruise expeditions around Raja Ampat are visual spectacles of unrivalled marine diversity, taking you to some of the best diving and snorkelling sites on earth.

Raja Ampat, which translates as "Four Kings", captivates visitors with the enigmatic beauty of its limestone karst islands, which have emerged from a legendary myth. Those who experience this sight with its dramatic landscapes, secret lagoons, bays and beaches for the first time feel like an enthusiastic, overwhelmed explorer. Travelling in Raja Ampat gives you the opportunity to explore new territory and marvel at the world's most biodiverse areas. In short, every day of your journey is like an award-winning National Geographic report, only right before your eyes and within your reach.

Raja Ampat's world-class wildlife excursions take place both on the ground and underwater. It was here that the famous 19th century naturalist Alfred Russell Wallace came across species of Bird of Paradise that only exist in this region of the world. Witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the Wilson's bird of paradise and the red bird of paradise and their mesmerising behaviour in the wild is arguably one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences of a lifetime. These winged wonders live here alongside 350 other bird species, including forest kingfishers and king parrots. Animal life also pulsates on the beach. Raja Ampat's many beaches are often nesting grounds for turtle species, including the Pacific leatherback, the largest of all living turtle species on earth, while the world's largest network of mangrove forests harbours populations of dugong and juvenile fish. Raja Ampat is also a Marine Protected Area (MPA) designated by the Indonesian government.

Aqua Blu - Ambon & Spice Islands

With the new Aqua Blu to Ambon and the Spice Islands

The 8-day (and of course even more so the 13-day) cruise expedition across the Banda Sea revives an almost forgotten chapter of world history and is a thrilling adventure between culture, nature and wildlife. Departing from the rustic Indonesian harbour town of Ambon, the Aqua Blu heads south across the Banda Sea to the Spice Islands, a destination of historical significance, endowed with both unspoiled nature and culture. As the source of nutmeg, which was once worth more than gold, the Spice Islands (also known as the Banda Islands) were the Holy Grail and the haunt of famous Old World explorers, including Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, who sought but never found their way there.

At some point after these great captains, the Spice Islands were discovered and the Dutch established and controlled them - with a trade monopoly on nutmeg - from 1607 until the end of the 18th century. During this time, the Dutch erected numerous colonial-style buildings and extensive fortifications. In the towns and the oldest nutmeg plantations in the world, most of these structures are still very well preserved today. Entering the Spice Islands is therefore like travelling back in time or visiting a spectacular living museum, where time seems to have stood still for decades and centuries-old relics such as Fort Belgica exist alongside rich Indonesian local traditions such as nutmeg cultivation and kora-kora war canoe racing. The Spice Islands consist of a cluster of seven main islands, including the colonised Banda Neira, Banda Besar and Pulau Run. As you explore the remnants of the islands' colonial past, such as cannons literally standing next to traditional village houses, you may be one of the first to come across a long-lost relic or fort. As there are still blank spots on the map in the region and the Spice Islands are so secluded from the outside world, you can become an explorer.

The Spice Island Expedition also gives its explorer spirit the chance to sit back and relax in some of the most scenic locations in the world. Molana and Pulau Run offer gorgeous sandy beaches and are great for swimming, fishing, snorkelling and diving as well as village tours and bird watching. On Banda Neira, which is part of the Ambon Spice Islands, the active volcano Gunung Banda Api is more than just a photogenic backdrop. The eruption of Banda Api, also known as "Fire Mountain", and its seaward lava flow led to a rebirth of coral and marine life in 1988 that astonished marine biologists everywhere. In 1994, they discovered that underwater thermal springs and nutrients from the cooled volcanic lava had fuelled the growth of spectacular underwater gardens. Today, the Spice Islands are home to some of the most colourful and diverse species of coral and marine life in the East Indonesian archipelago, including giant sea fans, mandarin fish and Ambon scorpionfish. The Molucca region, of which the Spice Islands form the southernmost part, is also a "transition zone" between Asian and oceanic fauna and flora. Therefore, these islands include many species that are unique to the region. Not only that, the region is also part of the migration route for many birds and marine animals. Cruise the Banda Sea on the Aqua Blu, discover fantastic reefs for snorkelling and diving as well as the opportunity to spot spinner dolphins, orcas and various other cetacean species. Meanwhile, both endemic and migratory bird species can be observed along the coast or while hiking in the lush forests.

Aqua Blu - Bali & Komodo

Welcome - on the road in Komodo National Park!

From Bali and Flores, this sensational 7-night cruise offers you an in-depth exploration of the legendary Komodo National Park and Moyo Island in eastern Indonesia.
Rising from the seas of eastern Indonesia, where two continental plates collide, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Komodo National Park is a natural wonder in every sense of the word. Ancient volcanic activity has created some of the most spectacular coastal areas on earth, with picturesque savannah hills, bays and beaches. The park's dramatic landscape provides the perfect backdrop for breathtaking marine discoveries at some of the best diving and snorkelling sites in the world. Komodo National Park covers an area of 1,817 square kilometres and consists of three main islands - Komodo, Padar and Rinca - and 26 smaller islands. Some of them are inhabited by prehistoric creatures, the indigenous Komodo dragon, which is the largest and truly most impressive lizard species living on earth.

Komodo National Park is located in the so-called Coral Triangle between the large land masses of Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east and is surrounded by fast-flowing currents from the Indian Ocean and warm tropical seas of Indonesia, which are enriched with volcanic nutrients. The spectacular result is a highly vital habitat that is home to more than 1,000 species of marine life, including the manta ray, sea turtles and mola mola (ocean sunfish), as well as over 260 species of coral. Due to the variety of marine life, this region is worthwhile for divers and non-divers alike. Due to the dry and sunny tropical savannah climate, the Komodo National Park with its varied land and sea experiences is also an ideal starting point for exploring the region.

The speed, stability and long-range capability of the Aqua Blu cruise ship meet the highest luxury travel specifications and guarantee you not only five-star comfort, utmost exclusivity and an unrivalled immersion in the natural wonders of the park. Thanks to their exclusivity and compactness, you can discover otherwise inaccessible marine areas and trekking routes where unique nature and wildlife can be found, often without another boat or human in sight. The best examples of these secluded island paradises are Moyo Island and Saleh Bay. Located between Bali and Komodo National Park, Moyo Island is a nature reserve with unspoilt nature and marine habitats that are virtually untouched by outside influences. A wide variety of flora and fauna awaits explorers like you in the midst of lush green jungle. The absolute highlight is the picturesque Mata Jitu waterfall. Seize the unique opportunity in Selah Bay to observe the congregation of rare whale sharks that have made the bay their sanctuary, and hold your breath as tens of thousands of fruit bats take flight at nightfall.

Aranui 5 - South Seas

What do you get when you combine a large cargo ship that supplies the Polynesian islands with food and building materials with an equally large and spacious cruise and passenger ship? The result is a unique and multifaceted journey to dream islands on board a very special ship: the Aranui 5.

For almost four decades, the Aranui has been a lifeline for the islanders, supplying them with everything they need to live in their villages and valleys. In this remote island world, our arrival is always eagerly awaited, especially as the Aranui is an important link to the outside world. The eagerly awaited deliveries - from sacks of sugar to sewing machines, sandals for the children and new pick-up vehicles - create a festive atmosphere every time. Copra, citrus fruits, fish and barrels full of noni juice are loaded in return and shipped to Papeete.

Enjoy the endless colours of the sunset reflected in the ocean as another day in the South Pacific comes to an end. After a three-course dinner, the Aranui band will inspire you with the rhythm of Polynesia and teach you to move your hips to the rousing sounds of the tamure or the Tahitian waltz.

Antarctica - Magellan Explorer

Overflight of the Drake Passage & expedition cruise on board the brand new Magellan Explorer to Antarctica

If you want to go to Antarctica, you know that there is a passage in the very south of Argentina and Chile that can be treacherous: The notorious Drake Passage between the southern tip of South America and the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula.

How good that you can now bypass this strait, which is not very comfortable for many, very quickly and easily - or fly over it.

Island Luxury in summer

Private luxury tour through the land of fire and ice

In summer, the white nights with their soft light enchant the long day into an infinite world. In autumn and winter, green lights billow unrealistically in the sky, seeming like signs from another, distant world. The hot water of natural thermal springs seems much more earthly.

You put your hand on the glass, almost as if you could touch the scenery out there with your hands, which flickers past you like a film. The train stops. You are in another world. You step out of the comfortable luxury train of the 20th century and into the wilderness. Listen to the strange sounds, smell unfamiliar odours and hold your breath - there is a lion in the savannah, proud and magnificent like Simba, the Lion King. Back on the train, you can hardly forget the thought of the Big Five and the adventurous game drive - until another force of nature appears before you. Even from a distance, you can sense something special, because despite the blue sky, a wall of cloud sticks close to the ground in front of you. It is the spray cloud of Africa's largest waterfalls, the Victoria Falls, which can be seen for kilometres: Mosi oa Tunya, "the smoke that thunders" they are called here. Sundowner cruises on the Zambezi, exciting safaris in game reserves rich in wildlife, culinary delights at the highest level and Cape Town, probably the most beautiful city on the continent, are unique highlights of this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Israel Deluxe

8-day individual tour on the date of your choice incl. scheduled flights, hotels, programme

Enjoy life - this motto applies here in historic Israel and especially in Tel Aviv, the city by the sea with an extensive beach. The laid-back city has become a hotspot in the entire eastern Mediterranean region. The people are relaxed, cosmopolitan and easy-going, enjoying life and celebrating the "better today than tomorrow" attitude to life. The country with a long and rich history has changed rapidly in recent years and today draws on its full potential in an uncomplicated way. This has characterised art, culture and architecture as well as the hotel, restaurant and bar scene and has had a positive impact on the entire infrastructure.

Israel has developed into an established, economically successful nation and is also one of the oldest wine regions in the world: wine-growing dates back to ancient times. Look forward to an escorted private tour with chauffeur to Israel with a flexible and individual programme to suit your taste. You will travel to the highlights of the country in your own private vehicle with your own knowledgeable driver and alongside local tour guides. With us, you will discover the highlights of this enchanting country, immerse yourself in the culture, meet locals to exchange ideas, savour the Mediterranean cuisine and stay in exclusive, small, charming boutique hotels.
