Europe has a few new entry requirements this summer and they are important to know before you go.

The EES, ETIAS, and ETA systems are now part of the travel process for many U.S. passport holders visiting parts of Europe and the UK. These are required authorizations completed in advance of travel and airlines will check for them before boarding.

If you are a MaryDee Travel client, we are already guiding you through this (somewhat complicated) new process. If not, comment EU below and we will send you the correct links and information so you can travel smoothly this summer!

Some of our favorite trips start with a special occasion.

At MaryDeeTravel, we love building itineraries around milestone moments. A big anniversary, a birthday, a concert, or a bucket list sporting event can become the centerpiece of an unforgettable trip.

From tickets to hotels and everything around it, we design the trip so the celebration feels even more memorable. If you have something special coming up this year, we’d love to help you plan it.

We’re honored to share that MaryDeeTravel has once again been recognized on the Condé Nast Traveller Top Travel Specialists list for 2026.

Each year, Condé Nast Traveller selects a small group of advisors around the world known for their expertise, industry relationships, and ability to design exceptional trips. It’s a recognition that reflects years of building partnerships with the hotels, guides, and on-the-ground teams that make luxury travel seamless and memorable.

For our clients, it means access. Access to the right people at the right properties, preferred partner perks and upgrades, and itineraries shaped by firsthand experience rather than guesswork. It also means having a team that knows how to navigate the details so your trip feels effortless from the start.

To everyone who continues to travel with us and trust us with your plans, thank you. We look forward to many more journeys ahead!

Perched above the Pacific on thirty oceanfront acres, Montage Laguna Beach feels less like a resort and more like a coastal estate.

The architecture nods to early California Craftsman design with clean lines, white wood detailing, and tiled roofs. Plus, nearly every room and suite is oriented toward the water. Private terraces, deep soaking tubs, and generous living space make it easy to settle in rather than pass through.

Laguna Beach has long attracted artists, and that atmosphere is apparent throughout the property. The resort houses an extensive California art collection, and the town’s galleries are a short walk away. Days can include coastal trail walks just below the bluff, golf at nearby courses, or time at Spa Montage, where treatments come from local botanical and marine influences.

Dining is anchored by Studio, the oceanfront restaurant known for its seasonal tasting menus, while The Loft offers a more relaxed setting with sea views. Even the pool feels intentional, positioned along the bluff with a direct line to the horizon.

For clients flying into Orange County, it is one of the most effortless luxury coastal escapes in the country. And with our preferred partner amenities, the stay is elevated even further.

If you’ve traveled with us before, you’ve probably heard us talk about SHA. It remains one of our client favorites for a reason.

SHA Wellness Clinic built its reputation on a science led approach to longevity, blending functional medicine, advanced diagnostics, tailored nutrition, and holistic therapies into highly personalized programs. This is not a typical spa escape. It is structured, results driven, and thoughtfully designed around your specific health goals.

Now with SHA Mexico, clients can experience that same methodology on the Caribbean coast, with sleek design, ocean views, and the full medical and wellness team guiding each stay.

If optimal health is on your mind for 2026, SHA continues to set the standard. We are happy to walk you through which program and location is the right fit.

Traveling to the UK or Europe soon? There’s an important detail to know before you go.

The UK’s ETA and the EU’s ETIAS are not the same and depending on your itinerary, you may need one or both. These authorizations are required for entry and without the correct approval in place, airlines can deny boarding before you ever leave.

They’re simple to apply for but easy to overlook, especially on trips that combine the UK and Europe. It’s one of those small details that matters a lot.

Before you travel, make sure to double check what’s required for every country on your route. And if you’re traveling with MaryDeeTravel, we’ll make sure nothing like this gets missed. Send us a message, and we are happy to help✈️
