Paradise on earth ? Pretty close. Laze all day on a dreamy beach, sip cocktails at sunset and feast on seafood. Or get active and hike into spectacular volcanic landscapes or dive with turtles in coral canyons.

This is truly a place to escape from it all. The islands of the Seychelles are quite simply the most romantic location imaginable, the

  perfect spot for a romantic Syechelles honeymoon, and i was lucky enough to spend my honeymoon there !

A friend and I travelled to South Africa in January 2015, booking all details of the trip through wild Discovery. We stopped in Johannesburg for a night , went on Safari in the nearby Limpopo region for a few nights after, and concluded with four days in Cape Town.

The country is really famous for two things: its beauty and personal

  security concerns. this meant we wanted to enjoy it, while minimising potential petty crime risks, thus we ensured all aspects were planned ahead with Wild Discovery.

  they covered flights, airport pick up upon arrival, a city tour of Johannesburg, transfer from the hotel there to the Safari lodge, pick up from the lodge for the ride to the airport, where we took an internal flight to Cape Town, airport transfers there, and a few city and winery tours to top it all off.

  We loved the trip, and were very comfortable with Wild Discovery's arragements and suppliers, which made it all the more pleasant by eliminating security concerns. Concerns which we eventually felt were overestimated in all cases.

Portofino was a dreamed destination on my list, when i reached this little port i was hit by its charm and genuinity !

It is Liguria's most prized possession; a wild beautiful idyllic village with pastel colored houses set on a luxurious port.

Even the trees are handsome there, a small but perfectly coiffured coastal village that sits on its own peninsula

  like a milanese model glued to the caltwalk.

  There are countless things to do in portofino, including everything from boating and diving to high end shopping and dining.

  Take a walk up on the little hill and watch the " va et viens" of dozens of boats touching the coast for a quick snap shot taken for every little corner of this port !

  Or enjoy a good variety of cultural attractions including the Castello Brown and the Christ of the Abyss statue. Portofino has the advantage of being in the heart of a fertile wine region, so wine lovers will have the time of their lives!

  Words fail me everytime i talk about Portofino, a place i am not ready to forget and which i left with tears, on my way back...

Our experience on board the MSC Splendida was amazing. The ship itself was breathtaking, the rooms were really nice especially the balcony which presented a great added value. It was great waking up the morning and looking out the balcony and just seeing the ocean all around. We ordered one day breakfast in bed, I expected it to be late

  due to the large amount of people on board but to tell the truth they were 2 minutes early to be specific. There were various restaurants to choose from and a main restaurant with a huge buffet and it was open approx 24 hours a day (watch out we gained weight on this cruise!!!) It really feels like you are part of a movie or some TV show: the Swarovski stairs, the pianist and violin at the reception, the gala dinners with your own butler…the facilities, the entertainment and the friendliness of the crew was impeccable. The itinerary of MSC Splendida was also great, we got the chance to visit Napoli, Palermo, Tunis, Palma de Majorca, Barcelona, Marseille, and Genoa…everything was on schedule. I’m actually advising lots of friends to cruise on board of MSC cruise…because all you have to do is show up at the airport and you will be taking care of. We would give it a 9.5/10 score!!!
