The Summer 2026 edition of Luxury Travel spotlights the allure of the open water, with more cruise journeys than ever before. Our cover story, ‘Redefining the Horizon’, charts how luxury cruising is evolving through smaller, design-forward vessels and expedition ships built for connection and discovery. Highlights include Paspaley Pearl‘s Kimberley debut, an Indian odyssey on the Ganges with Uniworld and Oberoi Hotels, APT Solara sailing through Germany’s wine regions, and the glamour of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection in the Mediterranean. On land, the issue travels from New Orleans’ post-Katrina luxury renaissance and a hidden retreat in the mountains of northern Vietnam to design-led stays in Florence, Bangkok and Los Angeles. Across every page, Luxury Travel celebrates memorable journeys defined by beautiful design, authentic connections and nature-aligned experiences.
