The Bengal tiger walked toward our jeep, not away.

May is the last window before the monsoon hits, which means the forest is bone dry and the cover is thin. The animals come to you because the water is scarce and the foliage can’t hide them. If close encounters are what you’re after, this is when to come to India.

Two days in Ranthambore and we watched this massive tiger walk straight up to us, close enough to count the stripes.

And then something we didn’t expect at all. A sloth bear, which we kept hearing is one of the rarest animals to spot in Ranthambore.

Welcome to India. We brought the whole family.

Our first stop after arriving in India was the Taj Mahal at sunrise, all of us together. Our daughters and son-in-law watching the sun come up over the marble with us. We’ve been blessed to travel a lot of places over the years, but the trips we take together as a family are the ones we remember and treasure the most.

Grateful as always to have Vijay guiding us and Sunil at the wheel, the absolute best. And there is no better partner than in India.

Afterwards, we proceeded on our six-hour drive to Ranthambore National Park for two days of Indian safari (Bengal Tigers!)

Five of us, eight courses, and the question on our minds: is $115 a person worth it on a cruise ship?

Mike and Sulley’s Flavors of Asia on the Disney Adventure. The teppanyaki room here is the Monsters Inc. version of the Harryhausen’s restaurant from the film, which sounds gimmicky and yet somehow lands perfectly.

At $115 or $175 per person depending on the menu, this is one of the priciest specialty dining experiences on any cruise ship. However, this was the best teppanyaki we’ve had on any cruise ship by far, and better than most we’ve had on land, including in Japan. Our chef came from five star hotel teppanyaki kitchens in Bali and the Maldives, and it showed in every course. He had skills.

The service was fantastic, which has been the standard across this entire ship homeporting out of Singapore. Palo has always been our go-to specialty pick on Disney cruises but this exceeded it.

If you’re sailing the Adventure, book Mike and Sulley’s. Absolutely worth it.

The best part of a seventeen hour flight isn’t the seat. It’s looking down the cabin and seeing the whole family settled in for the ride.

We’re blessed to travel a lot, but the big trips with the whole family together always hit different. We’ve been talking about this one for months. It still didn’t feel real until we were buckled in.

Singapore first, then the Disney Adventure, then across India. Three weeks of fun ahead and glad we’re all in it together.

Glenn and I are taking you to a city that holds a deeply special place in our hearts: Athens, Greece. As a full-time wheelchair user who prioritizes travel with wheelchair accessibility, I was thrilled to discover that today's Athens offers a level of thoughtful design making it possible to explore 2,500 year old history with total ease.

Why Athens Shines for Accessible Luxury Travelers
Hotels That Redefine Comfort: We love properties that make luxury inclusive. You can stay right in the center at the historic Hotel Grande Bretagne with its seamless elevator access to their famous rooftop, or enjoy the remarkably spacious, barrier-free layouts at the food-centric Ergon House Athens. If you want a resort feel, the Four Seasons Astir Palace on the Riviera is incredible, featuring smooth ramps connecting every pool and restaurant.

Historic Meets Modern: The ancient sites are more welcoming than ever. We highly recommend using the dedicated accessible elevator on the Acropolis North Slope. Standing in front of the Parthenon is breathtaking, and booking a private guide makes the authorization logistics invisible so you can simply take in the view.

Accessible Cultural Experiences: The Acropolis Museum is a brilliant example of inclusive design, fully ramped with glass floors that let you view the excavations right beneath your wheels. We also loved spending an afternoon at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, which is completely barrier-free and effortless to navigate.

Getting Around Made Easy
The Athens Metro is a fantastic option. It is clean, modern, and features elevators and level boarding at most major stations.

For complete peace of mind on airport runs or trips out to Cape Sounion, we always book a private car. It removes the stress of luggage and navigating unfamiliar streets.

While the modern areas are smooth, historic neighborhoods like the Plaka do have some uneven cobblestones, but not as bad as some other European cities. We quickly learned that where the pavement falls short, the famous Greek hospitality steps in. Locals and staff are incredibly kind and always ready to help.

Traveler Tips
Plan your visit for the fall or spring. You will avoid the punishing summer heat and enjoy perfect exploring temperatures.

The Greeks eat late! If you show up for dinner at 7:00 PM, you will likely be the only ones there. Head to Tudor Hall or Liondi around 9:00 PM for the best atmosphere.

Pick up a bottle of Mastiha at the airport duty free before you fly home. This sweet, pine-infused liqueur became our absolute favorite after dinner ritual.

Athens is a vibrant city that truly rewards insider knowledge, and it promises a getaway that feels both sophisticated and deeply welcoming.

Athens is the perfect example of how thoughtful planning can turn a historic, challenging city into an effortless luxury escape. What is your favorite accessible European city? Drop your recommendations in the comments so we can add them to our radar! Or, if you are ready to enjoy all that Athens has to offer contact us at Fora to help you plan your trip.

5 Cruises, 1 Year: Our 2025 Recap

If you think cruising isn’t for you, our 2025 season proves there is a ship for every personality. With over 300 ocean ships and endless destinations, the variety is staggering. You simply cannot get bored if you match the ship and destination to your interests. This doesn’t even account for the rapidly growing river cruise industry, which is adding new ships to waterways worldwide every year.

Here are the five distinct experiences we had this year:

1. Explora I (Explora Journeys): This feels like a modern luxury hotel at sea. It offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere and spacious suites for those who prioritize understated elegance.
Best for: Travelers seeking a high-end land resort feel on the water.

2. Oceania Vista: A luxury experience centered on the finest cuisine at sea. It is upscale yet comfortable, focusing on culinary excellence and beautiful design.
Best for: Food enthusiasts and those who prefer a sophisticated, mid-sized ship.

3. Disney Destiny: This brand-new ship is a masterclass in storytelling. Beyond families, it is perfect for adults who value high-production entertainment and themed immersive venues.

Best for: Disney fans and all fans of immersive environments and top-tier performances.

4. Virgin Valiant Lady: An adults-only, premium playground that ditches buffets and formal nights for wellness, incredible restaurants, and a modern social scene.
Best for: Couples, solos, or friends wanting a high-energy, kid-free getaway.

5. Norwegian Aqua: The newest innovation in mainline cruising. It offers the ultimate variety in dining and activities, ensuring there is something for everyone.
Best for: Travelers who want endless choices and a lively atmosphere.

It is currently Wave Season, the best time of year to book. Cruise lines are currently offering their most competitive rates and incentives for the 2026 season. Let us know if you have any questions or are interested in sailing somewhere on something in 2026.

Hi there! We’re Judy and Glenn, and we sincerely believe the best things in life aren’t things, they’re memories made together.

If you’re new here, we wanted to pull back the curtain on TudorTravels. Since this is a pinned post, consider this our digital front door!

Expertise Born from Experience
We don’t just plan trips; we live them. We have explored over 60 countries (most of them multiple times) and embarked on over 30 cruises and we aren’t stopping anytime soon. We travel extensively year-round to ensure we have authentic, fresh knowledge of the world’s best destinations, hotels, and ships.

The TudorTravels Difference. Obsessive detail matched with first-hand insight.

Our planning process is uniquely rigorous. Judy travels in a wheelchair, which means “accessible” can’t just be a checkbox, it has to be a reality. This has made us experts in the fine print. We vet every hotel room, elevator, and transport link with a level of scrutiny most people overlook.

Whether you have mobility challenges or you simply want a perfectly executed, stress-free vacation, our fanatical attention to detail ensures that your trip is seamless from start to finish.

A Bit About Us
Before becoming travel advisors, we spent decades in service: Judy in family services (overseeing adoptions and foster care) and Glenn in hospitality and convention technology. If the pandemic taught us anything, it’s that time moves fast and experiences with the people we love are the best investment we can make.

What We Love
For us, travel is about food, culture, and connection. From Michelin-starred dining to the best local street food, we often let our taste buds lead the way. We’ve made lifelong friends across the globe, and there is nothing we love more than sitting outside with a drink, watching a different way of life happen right in front of us.

Plot twist: we spent over 20 days in 2025 on en route to somewhere and we loved it!

Here’s our philosophy: the trip begins the moment you leave your house, not just when you land. The flight sets the tone for the entire journey, which is why we’re obsessed with flying the flag carriers of the countries we’re visiting. Want to understand Japanese hospitality before you arrive? Fly ANA. Want to settle into the vibe of Turkey? Turkish Airlines starts the experience at the boarding gate.

This year was another dive into world-class service. We flew business class on Turkish, Singapore, Etihad, Qatar, and ANA, and experienced Emirates in first class. In total, we (mostly together but a quarter of the flights was just one of us) covered 212,000+ miles across 106 flights and 33 airports. And yes, if you look closely, Judy is wearing the same travel outfit in half these photos, comfort is the only way to survive that many long-haul flights! 😉

Now for the reality check: As you can see in that last photo, a full third of our flights were delayed this year. That’s nearly an entire day of 2025 spent sitting in airports.

It’s never fun, but it’s the reality of modern travel. This is exactly why thoughtful planning and built-in flexibility matter. Delays happen and connections get missed; you need a strategy and a solid backup plan before you ever leave home.

That’s where we come in. We don’t just design your itinerary or book the best hotels, we’re there for when things inevitably go sideways. When you book with us, you have someone in your corner who knows exactly how to handle the “plot twists” because we’ve navigated them all ourselves.

Looking back on 2025, the best part was definitely the people we shared it with.

We’ve had some great experiences on the road this year but it was just as meaningful to see so many of you finally get to the destinations you’ve been dreaming about. Seeing those plans come to life is really the best part of what we do. Being even a small part of your milestones, honeymoons, family reunions, and “just because” escapes is a huge privilege for us.

As lifelong travel junkies ourselves, it’s hard to put into words how gratifying it’s been helping you reach those bucket-list spots. We’ve loved every photo, every story, and every “you won’t believe this view” text. Thank you for letting us partake vicariously in your adventures!

Of course, none of these moments happen in a vacuum. To our incredible partners across the travel industry: thank you for everything you do behind the scenes. You really are the heartbeat of this business, and your collaboration is what allows us to turn a ‘what if’ into a reality for our clients. We’re so lucky to have you in our corner.

New year, same favorite people, we can’t wait for all the 2026 adventures ahead!

Cake Bake at Disney World, dressed to the nines for Christmas. Plot twist: you can actually eat a delicious, fresh salad here, who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? 😉

Because luxury travel is all about balance: greens AND sprinkles, wellness AND indulgence. (And we’ll be honest, we had a huge slice of coconut cake.)
