LUXURY accommodation brand Four Seasons already has its own Boeing 747 which is used for high-end charter itineraries, but did you know it had its own cruise ship as well?
The Four Seasons Explorer is an 11-cabin catamaran owned jointly by the Four Seasons’ two Maldives resorts, operating voyages of three, four and seven nights.
Onboard the three-deck floating palace, guests have an experience akin to a private yacht with massage services, private chef & a cruise director planning exclusive shore trips.
All the opulence does come with a price tag in line with the finest facilities associated with the Four Seasons name, with the daily cruise rate coming in at US$19,000 per day, or $16,000 per day in low season.
Whale watching took on a scary new meaning recently after a tourist was killed when one of the mammals literally jumped onto the sightseeing boat she was travelling in.
The Canadian tourist was holidaying in the Mexican beach town of Cabo San Lucas when the surfacing gray whale inexplicably leapt from the water onto the boat.
The 35-year-old woman, who was on holidays in the region with her family, was rushed to the shore by water authorities for treatment but tragically died from her injuries later that day, while two other tourists sustained significant injuries.
