Now that summer is in full swing, we wanted to share with you updates in travel around the world as well as promotions for summer and beyond.
EVENTS AND TRAVEL NEWS
Paris: Portraits by Cezanne – This summer’s blockbuster art exhibition showcases nearly 200 portraits by Cezanne at the Musée d’Orsay. Among them are 29 paintings of his wife, Hortense, and 26 of himself, in chronological order.

Santa Fe: If you’re heading to Santa Fe, we have access to some wonderful new private day tours. Spend a day visiting Taos, Taos Pueblo and Chimayo for history, culture, shopping, and art. Or else for history and scenery, opt to head to Bandelier National Monument, the Velez Caldera, the Jemez Mountains, and Zia Pueblos. A final option is to spend the day examining ancient ruins at the Chaco Canyon National Historic Park.
Chicago: Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport has announced a new terminal transfer bus that will transport guests from Terminal 3 directly to O’Hare’s International Terminal 5 in about five minutes, saving time for passengers connecting from domestic flights by eliminating the need to be re-screened by TSA.

We can offer a 2 night package that includes a 2 night stay in Versilia in Tuscany Sept 22-24, tickets for the Stones Concert, a Lucca Summer Festival Gift Bag, 1 drink card for 1 person inside the concert area, buffet breakfast and a welcome gift.

HAWAII
Four Seasons Ko’Olina on Oahu has rooms available for the Festive Seasons and there is no minimum for arrivals Dec 19-30.

CANADA
Montréal is celebrating its 375th anniversary this year. In honor of the celebration, the Ritz Carlton Montréal is offering 50% off a third night as well as a coupon booklet for Montréal attractions valued at C$390 completed by October 31, 2017.
DEER VALLEY
This summer Stein Eriksen Lodge is offering 20% off room rates plus a $50 DAILY resort credit as well as the usual amenities you already receive when booking with Journeys Unparalleled.
CUBA
You’ve likely seen that the U.S. government announced new regulations affecting travel to Cuba late last week. We are happy to report that Lindblad Expedition’s educational, people-to-people journeys to Cuba will be able to continue unchanged. Meeting the Cuban people and seeing their country is an extraordinary experience not to be missed.
MEXICO
If you like the idea of an all-inclusive resort but also want all the services and amenities of a luxury property, you can find both with Grand Velas Riviera Maya and Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit (they also have a property in Los Cabos but it’s not participating in this promotion). Stay at least four nights in either property before December 15 and receive a complimentary guaranteed room upgrade at the time of BOOKING, a $50 spa credit per adult per night, complementary one way airport to resort to transfer, and early check-in/late check out if available.
VILLAS AND HOME RENTALS
Don’t forget, we can help you with villas, estates, and home or apartment rentals around the world. Call us rather than booking an Airbnb because the villas and homes we recommend are fully vetted and come with hotel-like services and amenities such as in-person check in, fresh luxury linens and toiletries, professional cleaning, free wifi, local concierge, chef or stocked fridge/pantry, just to name a few (not all homes will include all of these amenities/services).
HOTEL BRANDS
Belmond – This summer when booking any Belmond hotel or resort around the world, receive a double resort credit (over what is usually offered in the amenities you receive when booking with Journeys Unparalleled). Plus when booking a Belmond train or cruise, receive a complimentary one-way airport transfer. Book before July 15 for travel completed by August 31.
Joie de Vivre – To celebrate its 30th anniversary, Joie de Vivre hotels are offering 30% off Best Available Rates and free cocktails throughout the summer.
