Fans of upscale cruises are about to have a new option for sailings to the Caribbean and the Panama Canal.

More and more travelers are availing themselves of flexible work arrangements by taking bleisure or hush trips, with 74 percent of Americans who work remotely saying that would consider a “workcation”, according to a recent Harris Poll data. And, with Princess Cruises’ recently announced MedallionNet Max premium wi-fi service powered by Starlink now available on all voyages, now is the time to take that extended cruise vacation you’ve been dreaming of, secure in the knowledge that you’ve got uninterrupted internet access as you explore the world. 

“Hop in, mate,” said Vaughan Mabee, the jovial mohawked executive chef of Amisfield, from inside his silver pickup. We are just outside the precincts of Queenstown, the most famous city in the New Zealand region of Otago, the birthplace of bungee jumping and the self-proclaimed “adventure capital of the world.” “I will show you there is a lot more to this area than leaping off a fucking bridge.”

But cruises to the Galapagos Islands aren’t like cruises anywhere else. The ships here are smaller, with some carrying as few as 16 passengers. There are no water slides, elaborate Broadway shows, casinos, or wild nightclubs. And don’t expect big bus tours in port either.

I reach the spot at the port where Sea Cloud Spirit is waiting for her voyage and find a crowd gathered. It’s understandable; the gleaming white windjammer, with her three huge masted sails, looks nothing like any of the other ships docked. At 450 feet long, tailing off into a gold-accented bow, with 4,951 square feet of sail curled and ready for release, watching the ship come into view is a wow-factor moment. I feel like I’ve taken a step back in time, unsure whether I feel more like a pirate or some sort of royal of yore. Either way, I’ve never set foot on a ship as impressive as this.

Oceania Cruises will take travelers to a variety of bucket list destinations on its 2025 Grand Voyages.

My family usually takes a big summer trip, but I tore my ACL earlier this year, so we decided to take it slow and allow my body to heal. That said, I also can't stay still, so I decided to plan a trip for my oldest kid and me to visit friends in Los Angeles.
