Dear Luxury Seeker,
FAR FROM ORDINARY
When it comes to vacationing, we all have our preferences as to what makes the perfect getaway. Perhaps
it’s a sunny beachside escape, big city thrills, or something more on the adventurous side. No matter what
you’re ideal vacation is, a great trip should inspire you, leaving you energized and wanting more. Most
importantly, it should take you far from the everyday, whether you’re traveling half-way across the globe
or somewhere closer to home.
In this issue of
The Affluent Traveler
we’ve included some of our very favorite vacation destinations from
around the world that are certain to inspire your own inner explorer, regardless if it’s a new destination
you’re traveling to or one you’ve seen a dozen times.
For those of you in need of some unforgettable adventure and heart-pounding thrills, we’ll set off to
Cuba to explore its vibrant culture and charms — and then tell you everything you need to know about
where to witness some of nature’s most spectacular animals in their natural habitat. Of course, if you
prefer a getaway that’s more relaxed and laid back, our resident spa addict will fill you in on where you
can immerse your senses with some truly luxurious pampering.
Next, we’ll meet up with Sirio Maccioni, the founder of the legendary Le Cirque restaurant, to learn
about his family’s restaurant dynasty — and what new ventures he has on the horizon. We also find out
from Head Concierge, Phillip W. Haddock II, about what’s hot and happening in the City Beautiful,
Orlando, Florida. And acclaimed Chef Luis Pous tells us all about what can’t leave home without when
traversing the globe.
Along the way we’ll find out what’s hot and happening in the gorgeous desert oasis of Palm Springs,
spend a weekend by the bay in San Francisco, road-trip through the French countryside in Provence, and
enjoy a day wandering and sampling Copenhagen’s best sites and bites.
All this and much more is awaiting you in this exciting issue of
The Affluent Traveler!
In addition to the exquisite travel experiences highlighted throughout every issue, we also offer you
the expert assistance and advice of The Affluent Traveler Collection’s travel advisors. They can help you
choose from among many outstanding travel adventures offered in the following pages.
Travel well and often,
