🇮🇹🍴 FEATURE FRIDAY: BOLOGNA — THE ITALIAN CITY EVERY FOOD LOVER SHOULD VISIT

We’ve talked about Bologna before…and we’ll probably talk about it again. ❤️

Why? Because this special place sits in the heart of Emilia-Romagna—Italy’s legendary FOOD VALLEY—and yet so many travelers have never even considered visiting it!

While the crowds head for Rome, Florence and Venice, Bologna offers something we absolutely LOVE sharing with our clients: an incredible Italian city filled with beautiful architecture, miles of historic porticoes, bustling markets and some of the best food you’ll eat anywhere in Italy.

And around here, food is serious business. 🤌🇮🇹

🍝 Tagliatelle al ragù — forget “spaghetti bolognese!”
🥟 Handmade tortellini
🥩 Mortadella di Bologna
🧀 Parmigiano Reggiano from nearby Parma
🥓 Prosciutto di Parma
🍇 Traditional balsamic vinegar from nearby Modena

Some of Italy’s most famous foods come from Bologna and the surrounding Emilia-Romagna region, making this an incredible place to explore markets, meet producers, take a cooking class and—most importantly—EAT.

Bologna is also a perfect example of why we encourage travelers to sometimes look beyond Italy’s traditional “must-see” cities. There is SO much more to discover.

✈️ Planning an Italy land vacation? Our Europe Travel Specialist Tamara can help incorporate Bologna and Emilia-Romagna into an incredible Italian itinerary.

🚢 Cruising from Venice or one of the surrounding cruise ports? Talk with our Cruise Travel Specialist Michael about turning Bologna into an unforgettable pre- or post-cruise experience.

Sometimes the places you’ve barely heard of become the places you love the most. ❤️

Have you ever been to Bologna—or is this one going on your foodie bucket list? 👇

🍴 OK FOODIES…THIS ONE MIGHT DIVIDE THE ROOM. 👀

You have ONE night left in an amazing city and ONE meal left before you fly home.

You can choose:

🍷 THE RESERVATION
The restaurant everyone says you HAVE to experience. Incredible chef. Beautiful setting. Multi-course dinner. Definitely not cheap.

OR…

🌮 THE LOCAL LEGEND
No reservations. Plastic chairs might be involved. There’s a line down the street, locals swear by it, and they’ve been making the same incredible dish for decades.

You only get ONE.

🍷 THE RESERVATION or 🌮 THE LOCAL LEGEND?

NEXT STOP: ⚜️ NEW ORLEANS — A CITY YOU CAN TASTE

If you’ve followed us for a while, you’ve probably noticed that we talk about New Orleans A LOT.

There’s a reason for that. ❤️ NOLA holds a special place in our team’s heart, and its food is a huge part of what makes this city so unforgettable.

In New Orleans, food doesn’t just feed you—it tells the story of the city. Creole and Cajun traditions mingle with French, Spanish, African, Caribbean and other influences to create a food culture that is unmistakably New Orleans.

🥣 Gumbo
🍚 Jambalaya
🥖 Po’boys
🥪 Muffulettas
🦞 Crawfish
🍩 Hot beignets covered in powdered sugar

And somehow, it all tastes even better with jazz spilling out of a doorway, a drink in your hand and nowhere you particularly need to be. 🎷

New Orleans is one of those places where you don’t just SEE the destination—you hear it, feel it…and absolutely TASTE it.

NEXT STOP: 🇵🇪 LIMA, PERU

When you think of the world’s great foodie cities, Paris, Rome or Tokyo might come to mind.

But LIMA? Absolutely.

Peru’s capital has become one of the world’s great culinary destinations, with a food scene shaped by Indigenous, Spanish, African, Chinese and Japanese influences. The result? Flavors and dishes unlike almost anywhere else.

🐟 Ceviche — and yes, Peru was the answer to yesterday’s Travel Trivia!
🥔 Causa — layers of seasoned potato with delicious fillings
🔥 Anticuchos — flavorful grilled skewers
🥩 Lomo saltado — a Peruvian favorite with Chinese influence
🍸 Pisco Sour — Peru’s iconic cocktail

From neighborhood favorites to some of the world’s most celebrated restaurants, Lima is the kind of destination that can completely surprise you.

And that’s exactly why we love travel. Sometimes the places that weren’t on your radar become the ones you can’t stop talking about. ❤️

🍴 A TASTE OF TRAVEL: FOODIE CITIES WEEK 🌍

Yesterday we started our foodie journey in Lyon, France. Today, we’re changing gears completely and heading to a city where you can seemingly taste the world without ever leaving town.

🇸🇬 SINGAPORE — ONE CITY, A WORLD OF FLAVORS

Singapore may be one city, but its food tells the story of many cultures.

Chinese, Malay, Indian, Peranakan and other influences have come together over generations to create one of the most exciting food scenes in the world. And one of the BEST ways to experience it? Head to a hawker center!

These lively food halls are an essential part of Singapore life, bringing together stalls serving everything from beloved family recipes to dishes that have become icons of Singaporean cuisine.

🍗 Hainanese chicken rice
🌶️ Chili crab
🍜 Laksa
🥥 Nasi lemak
🥟 Dumplings and noodles
🍢 Satay hot off the grill
☕ And, of course, a cup of kopi to finish things off!

The best part? Exploring Singapore through food isn’t just about eating well. Every dish offers a taste of the cultures, traditions and communities that have shaped this incredible destination.

That’s one of our favorite things about culinary travel: sometimes a plate of food can tell you just as much about a destination as a sightseeing tour.

IS Singapore calling your name? Whether by sea or by land, our travel experts are ready to currate your next trip - let's connect today!

🍴 A TASTE OF TRAVEL: FOODIE CITIES WEEK 🌍

Sometimes the best way to experience a destination isn’t through a museum, monument, or sightseeing tour…it’s through your stomach.

This week, we’re taking you around the world to some incredible cities where FOOD is part of the experience—places where local specialties, markets, restaurants, traditions, and flavors can become some of your favorite travel memories.

And we’re starting in a city that takes food very seriously…

🇫🇷 LYON, FRANCE

Often called the gastronomic capital of France, Lyon sits at the crossroads of some of the country’s greatest food and w**e regions—and its culinary identity is woven into everyday life.

🥘 Dine in a traditional Lyonnaise bouchon
🧀 Wander the stalls of Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse
🍷 Pair incredible local cuisine with w**es from nearby Beaujolais and the Rhône Valley
👨‍🍳 Discover the legacy of legendary chef Paul Bocuse
🥐 And, because this is France, make plenty of time for bakeries, cafés and pastry shops along the way.

Lyon is also an incredible gateway to the Rhône River and the flavors of Provence—and we have TWO opportunities to experience it with us in 2027!

🍷 Our Gervasi W**e Cruise – April 2027
🇫🇷 Our Provence Group Cruise – July 2027

Both offer the opportunity to experience Lyon as part of an incredible journey through one of France’s great food and w**e regions.

Follow along all week as we visit more of the world’s great foodie cities!

FEATURE FRIDAY: SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦

When you think of the world’s great adventure destinations, is South Africa one of the first places that comes to mind? If not…it should be!

For our final stop during Adventure Travel Week, we’re featuring a destination that sometimes flies under the radar, yet offers an incredible combination of experiences:

🦁 Safari through spectacular wildlife reserves
🦈 Experience thrilling shark encounters
🥾 Hike through breathtaking landscapes
🚲 Cycle through beautiful w**e country
🌊 Explore dramatic coastlines
🐘 Encounter some of the world’s most incredible wildlife

But what really sets South Africa apart is everything BETWEEN the adventures.

Imagine starting your day on safari, returning to a spectacular luxury lodge, enjoying incredible food and South African w**e, immersing yourself in local culture—and waking up tomorrow for an entirely different adventure.

Adventure. Luxury. Wildlife. Food. W**e. Culture.

South Africa proves you don’t have to choose just one.

While you can experience parts of South Africa on a cruise itinerary, for many travelers a thoughtfully curated land journey offers the opportunity to really experience everything this remarkable country has to offer.

And that’s where our Africa EXPERT Tamara comes in. She can bring together the right destinations, accommodations, safari experiences and adventures to create a South African journey designed specifically around YOU.

Looking for adventure? Wildlife? Luxury? Food and w**e? Culture? South Africa offers something for everyone—and it might just be calling your name. 🇿🇦
