Best of The Rich Traveller


You know its summer, when you have a line-up like this! Starting with cruises, the Azamara Club Cruises have just announced new cruise-routes, which means longer, more exciting holidays. If you plan to stay on-ground, Ritz-Carlton, a name synonymous with luxury hotels, ahs launched their first-ever Ritz-Carlton Credit card, which means more benefits, more savings. The Mandarin Oriental Paris is the newest kid on the block, but don’t be expecting anything less than sheer decadence. And while you’re planning your holiday, don’t be forgetting your precious pooches - the Hanrob Pet Hotel promises to cater to their every bark. Before you jet-out, don’t forget to check out Louis Vuitton Ailleurs collection of handbags – the perfect holiday accessory. Shopping is all the craze, and our friends at Marriott and Hilton are developing new partnerships with luxury retail brands.

We take a small peak into the things to come, and cant help be excited about Airbus’ plans for an invisible jet! Out in the sandy desert of Abu Dhabi, another mammoth project takes shape as the emirate has started work on a ‘Destination Village’ in time for the Volvo Ocean Race later this year.
And if you’re a late-booker, don’t lose hope. Visit the world’s first Virtual Luxury Travel exhibition taking place online on June 29th and speak to luxury travel companies, find what they have for you this summer!
