GREAT BRITAIN, SWEDEN, NETHERLANDS, BELGIUM

Great Britain

The Windsors of Great Britain – they define royalty in all of its glamour, majesty and privilege.  Their story is filled with drama, controversy, tragedy and heartbreak, and their story over the last century is among their most fascinating.

Sweden

Members of the House of Bernadotte are among the most innovative of all royals, and pass the throne to the oldest child regardless of gender.  The Swedish royal family is constantly redefining the boundaries of royalty.

Netherlands

Ruled by three great Queens during the past 100 years, theirs is a story of charisma and humanitarian pursuit.  Crown Prince Willem-Alexander will be challenged to live up to the high standards set by the formidable Dutch Queens.

Belgium

The House of Saxe-Coburg has a fiery history raging with military heroism, romantic intrigue and tragedy.  This adored and celebrated family, which has always been devoted first to the welfare of the people, continue this tradition today.

JAPAN, THAILAND, MOROCCO, JORDAN

Japan

Japan’s royals trace their roots back to 200 A.D., but it is their 20th century incarnation that has gained the most international exposure and continues to intrigue outsiders with their unique ceremonial postures and understated, almost restrained royal lifestyles.

Thailand

King Bhumibol Adulyadej of the House of Chakri is both bold and outspoken.  He was barely an adult when he left school to assume the crown and he is well known as a family man, defender of Buddhism and saxophone player.  Enjoy this rare glimpse into the lives of Thailand’s royal family.

Morocco

The Alouite Dynasty has ruled Morocco almost continuously since the 8th century.  Eccentric King Hassan II occupied the lavish royal palace in Rabat, where he entertained dignitaries and celebrities from around the world.

Jordan

Amidst a region of continual political conflagration, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan continues to transcend the traditional role of monarchy and serve as a source of inspiration and strength to both the Jordanian people and the international community.

MONACO, SPAIN, DENMARK, LUXEMBOURG, THE HABSBURGS

Monaco

Second only to the House of Windsor as the most celebrated royal family today, the House of Grimaldi has a 700 year history that reads like a sweeping epic filled with tales of military intrigue and the Hollywood style romance, fairy tale marriage and tragic death of Princess Grace.

Spain

Truly monarchists for the modern age, the King and Queen of Spain have encourages their children to marry not for service of the crown, but for love.  The House of Bourbon is passionate, exciting, and romantic and continues a dramatic family history.

Denmark

The House of Glucksborg is the oldest in Europe, but Queen Margrethe II is a free spirit who delightfully defies convention.  She is a “hands on” Queen and continues to impress the Danes with her artistic talents and charismatic personality.

Luxembourg

Grand Duke Jean is descended from the Kings of France and his godfather was a Pope.  After fleeing Europe during World War II he volunteered for the British Army.  Crown Prince Henri continues the legacy of the House of Nassau while proving they can be down to Earth as well.

The Habsburgs

The House of Habsburg once ruled over half of Europe and epitomized royal power.  While World War I brought a dramatic end to their empire, powerful players of this family continue to be influential in both Europian politics and the international art world.

EUROPE

Canary Islands

Located off the coast of Africa, these Spanish owned islands offer an exciting mix of beach and desert.   Exploring the volcanic landscape atop a camel, or body surfing in the Atlantic can be followed by visiting a restaurant where food is barbecued over volcanic heat. On the nearby island of La Gomera you can witness the lost art of Silbo – or whistling – to round out an amazing adventure.

Gotland

Known as “Island of the Roses”, this little known island off the coast of Sweden is a pastoral haven.  A flourishing trade center during the Middle Ages, today it is a thriving vacation paradise.  With beautiful sights, lively medieval festivals and historic towns, it is an exotic island of outstanding beauty and endless activities. 

Azores

Portuguese owned and in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores have long been challenged by volcanoes, earthquakes and fierce winds.  But the hardy people will gladly share their traditions and beliefs with visitors.  From unique bullfighting events on Terciera to feasts cooked on the hot springs at Sao Miguel, this is a place of great fascination. 

Iceland

A land of fire and ice, it is one of the most volcanically active places on the Earth, and features a wide variety of activities.  Whitewater rafting on the Hvita River, horseback riding to the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, swimming in the legendary Blue Lagoon and snowmobiling on Europe’s largest glacier are just some of the attractions on this far north exotic island.

THE CARIBBEAN

British Virgin Islands

Known as the water sports capital of the world, the fifty islands of the BVI offer dives to impressive wrecks such as the Rhone, underwater photography, natural bathing pools and spectacular sailing.  You will also visit the mountainous interior and meet many fascinating people from this most beautiful archipelago. 

Belize

Celebrated for its world-class scuba diving, the Belize Cayes are a haven for underwater adventurers, a place where diving with sharks is a normal experience.  The mainland is equally fascinating with the Mayan ruins at Altun Ha and a wide variety of lively nightspots.

St. Kitts

Massive forts, traditional pottery and eerie shipwrecks are just some of the bits of history found here.  The colorful capital city of Basettere and the Brimstone Hill Fort are just two of the many fascinating sights.  A game of cricket, unique pottery making on the sister island of Nevis, and searching for the island’s famous green monkey add to the experience.

Aruba

Arawak, Dutch and Spanish culture blend against a backdrop of coral cliffs, white sand beaches and all night casinos.  Wind surfing, dune sliding, and exploring the rocky coast by scooter add a bit of action to this adventure on the Dutch Leeward island.  Paso Finos horses and great bars and restaurants make this a very civilized exotic island.

THE SOUTH PACIFIC

Fiji

Located in the legendary waters where Captain Bligh was set adrift, you will start in the town of Nadi and venture to the Navua for a ride up river to the Namosi Highlands.  Witness a traditional Kava ceremony and attend a lovo feast, followed by deep water diving and a cruise through the beautiful and remote Yasawa Islands.

Vanuatu Southern Islands

Land of the “volcano gods” and over a hundred different languages, these islands are home to fascinating people and cultures.  On Efate, missionary dresses are all the fashion, while on the island of Erakor a more traditional way of life includes grass skirts and painted faces.  Search for the legendary sea creature the Dugong and visit the top of the island’s active volcano – Mt. Yasur.

Western Samoa

These famous islands still embrace Polynesian life.  In a village run by chiefs you will experience hot stone stove cooking and a Siva dance.  At the Taga blowholes, village boys toss coconuts into the geysers while caution is exercised at the terrifying rock slides of Papasea’s.  There is also a fiafa, complete with fire dancing.

Nusu Tenggara

Witness the exotic weavings from a remote village on the island of Lombok and a traditional wedding ceremony on Sumbawa.  Come face to face with a legendary dragon on the mysterious island of Komodo.  The spices, colors, and spirit of these islands create a vivid splash of the senses not easily forgotten.  270 minutes ( = 4 hours, 30 minutes )

The Superliners: Twilight Of An Era - Travel Video.  National Geographic.  Before the days of jet travel, magnificent ocean liners such as the Queen Mary and the Normandie reigned over the Atlantic, setting standards of taste, luxury, and efficiency.  They transported not only the rich and famous, but also soldiers during wartime, and emigrants seeking new lives in the land of opportunity.

   Luxury was defined in the early part of the 20th century by the Superliners.  Now they are all but extinct.  "The Superliners" takes viewers on a five-day journey aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2, the last superliner ever built. 
   With 110,000 horsepower and 67,000 tons in mass, the QE2, launched in 1967, is just one of about a dozen such ships that existed as the largest moving manmade objects.  Its 296th voyage westbound from Southampton to New York serves as a time capsule of a bygone era of travel and opulence.  The United States, France's Normandy, and England's Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth are all explored in this 59-minute documentary.
   Significant for their engineering and nautical ingenuity as well as for their transport of tourists, immigrants, and soldiers, superliners were made obsolete by air travel, popularized during the mid-1960s.   The interviews with crew members and passengers make for a nostalgic portrait of life aboard a liner on the high seas.  60 minutes.
