How our Bliss Filters work
Nearly every month, millions of Americans thumb through the latest issues of Conde Nast Traveler, AFAR, Islands and other top travel magazines (though I'll bet the number of readers who get all of them is pretty small — I'm one!).
So we thought it would be a service to Cruiseable's readers to spotlight the cruises that these publications' editors have raved about in the past few months — and then let you decide if they're the kind of voyages you'd book.
Here, then, are 7 dream cruises touted by the top travel magazines.
Islands magazine: “Star Clipper is returning to the Far East in December. Not since 2010 has the 170-passenger sailing ship made Phuket, Thailand, its winter base. Two routes will be offered. The northbound itinerary visits Ko Surin National Park; the granite boulders and white beaches of Similan Islands National Park; the sleepy island of Ko Kradan; and the coves of Phang Nga Bay. Like the northern itinerary, the southern journey also stops at the Similan Islands and Phang Nga Bay, with the addition of Ko Butang and Ko Adang — both known for vibrant coral reefs. Seven-night sailings from $3,260 per person.“

Recommend magazine: “By now you’ve all heard that Adventures by Disney has partnered with AmaWaterways to provide an 8-day, family-focused river cruise on the Danube. The Central Europe trip provides a taste of what’s to come, as the river cruise visits Hohenwerfen Castle and Schonbrunn Palace, and explores Salzburg. It also includes a Wachau Valley bike excursion and archery at Devin Castle in Slovakia. Sailing dates start in July, and rates start at $4,100 for adults and $3,900 for children."

AARP the Magazine: “Stop at the port town of Siem Reap, near the tranquil 1,000-year-old Buddhist-temple complex of Angkor Wat. About 200 miles to the south is Phnom Penh, which was called the Pearl of Asia, thanks to its beautiful French-built city center. But its most awe-inspiring buildings predate that, including the graceful, gold-topped 19th-century Royal Palace.”
