That can’t be an easy one if your extended family’s anything like mine.

I’d never even thought of a yacht charter as a possibility until I read this which cleared some of the mists of confusion.

Comment on Iguazu: putting Niagara and Victoria Falls to shame by Julian Bird https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/2024/07/21/iguazu-putting-niagara-and-victoria-falls-to-shame/#comment-3994102 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 12:47:04 +0000 https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/?p=200784#comment-3994102 When I visited some renowned waterfalls in April in South Africa I was disappointed if I’m being honest.

Later our guide explained that as there hadn’t been much rain recently it wasn’t the best time of year to see the falls. Is there a peak season for seeing Iguazu at their most dramatic?

Comment on Discover the beauty of the surroundings of Plitvice Lakes National Park by Charli https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/2024/07/22/discover-the-beauty-of-the-surroundings-of-plitvice-lakes-national-park/#comment-3994073 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 09:15:14 +0000 https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/?p=200752#comment-3994073 From all the great images – and the words too – I get the idea that Plitvice provides a very healthy outdoor vacation.

It must be a region where you come back feeling a lot better both physically and mentally, a fantastic place for well-being.

Thanks, Shane. Yes, it can be very confusing for a novice charterer. Perhaps the most important step is to find a trusted broker with plenty of experience. A good broker will be happy to guide you step by step and find the most suitable yacht for your given budget.

Hi Chris,
Many yachts do offer lower off-season charter rates or last minute discounts. It is always best to speak to your broker and ask directly, as the special rates might not always be advertised.

My knees are worn out and walking through slippery, slushy forest walkways really is the last thing I need. Board walks are a big selling point for me.

If we’re travelling off season can we expect much of a discount on peak season prices?

Comment on The top luxury hotels in the Atacama Desert by Rose Davies https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/2024/07/23/the-top-luxury-hotels-in-the-atacama-desert/#comment-3994037 Thu, 25 Jul 2024 05:10:49 +0000 https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/?p=200764#comment-3994037 In reply to Tim.

Nayara Alto Atacama makes the point that you don’t need too much fancy design going on when all you need is ginormous picture windows to se the stunning location as the main attraction.

The Atacama Desert is one of the easier places on the planet to be an architect.

It’s another language. The poor cruisers almost need a dictionary of yacht speak.

I’m not complaining, in fact I’m giving thanks. If you’ve never chartered a yacht before it can be a minefield for beginners. The more advice that’s dished out, the better.

This dessert spelling of desert is becoming infectious. Remember that a dessert is what you have after your main course.

Now I’m beginning to understand why I should visit and also how I could do it in comfort and style.

Contemporary looking but not too intrusive on the environment.

I’d be very happy to stay at any of these. They all look very luxurious.
