Why Japan Is Best Explored by Sea with Princess
Japan is a destination that rewards repeat visits because no two regions — or seasons — feel quite the same. One moment, you’re wandering through centuries-old geisha districts in Kanazawa. The next, you’re watching neon reflections dance across Tokyo streets long after midnight.
Exploring New Bern
Nestled along the banks of the Neuse River, New Bern, North Carolina, is a city steeped in history, charm and culture. A unique blend of past and present, this enchanting locale has become a point of interest for fans of the popular television series Outlander.
Hanging on to Summer
Sunday officially marked the first day of fall, but here in North Carolina, it still feels like summer. To celebrate, we kicked off fall with a Sunday Funday. We began with mimosas and friends on a boat ride to Little Washington, where we even created a new mimosa drink we named the Pamlico Sunrise (since we were on the Pamlico River). If you’d like to try it, it’s a glass of Prosecco with a splash of orange juice, a splash of pineapple juice and just a dash of grenadine. Cheers to extending summer!
