              sunshine and escape the incessant rain then we are sure
            
            
              that the articles within the magazine will point you in the
            
            
              right direction.
            
            
              We are delighted to showcase some of the world’s finest
            
            
              beach resorts and hotels in popular winter sun
            
            
              destinations as well as some new contenders like The
            
            
              Residence Maldives, a stylish retreat lying smack on the
            
            
              Equator on an idyllic, private island within the
            
            
              southernmost of the Maldives atolls.
            
            
              Alternatively, you can always be sure of great activities to

              Tree Court & Spa, Dubai’s favourite family resort.  For a
            
            
              truly indulgent escape why not consider booking one of
            
            
              the new family suites at Le Prince Maurice on the sun-
            
            
              kissed island of Mauritius.
            
            
              Discover exciting new destinations and cultures as we
            
            
              unveil some Far Eastern gems like the new river cruiser,
            
            
              Orcaella, that will ply the waterways of Myanmar or the
            
            
              fabulous new resorts at Lăng Cô Bay in the
            
            
              underdeveloped but extremely beautiful area of Central
            
            
              Vietnam. If you want an exotic adventure within a short
            
            
              flight of the UK then head for a stay at Four Seasons
            
            
              Marrakech.
            
            
              We have only recently added Riviera to our portfolio, and
            
            
              already we have booked a number of our regular Marco
            
            
              Polo clients on to these escorted cultural tours. Clients
            
            
              have given us very positive feedback about the hotels,
            
            
              tour leaders and the congenial company of professional
            
            
              like-minded people, so we understand why Riviera has so
            
            
              many repeat guests.
            
            
              Riviera offers an extensive programme in Europe and
            
            
              worldwide featuring less visited locations. River cruising
            
            
              is a growing market and Riviera’s cruises are proving
            
            
              particularly popular. Their great value four- and five-star
            
            
              boats, with private balconies, are a perfect choice for
            
            
              cruising the rivers of Europe.
            
            
              So when you next get itchy feet give us a call and let us
            
            
              help you explore the options available to you!
            
            
              With best wishes,
