After nearly 60 years helping travelers explore the world, I have learned that every so often a destination emerges that captures the imagination of experienced travelers. For decades, Europe has dominated the river cruise market, with iconic itineraries along the Rhine, Danube, Seine, and Douro attracting travelers from around the globe.
Luxury travel has changed dramatically over the past decade. While five-star resorts and luxury cruise ships remain popular, a growing number of travelers are discovering a different way to experience the world: private luxury villas.
For generations, visiting the Eiffel Tower has been one of the defining experiences of a trip to Paris. Millions of travelers each year ride the elevators, admire the breathtaking views, and check one of the world's most iconic landmarks off their bucket list.
