With the kids back at school and autumn in the air, thoughts naturally turn to holidays, don’t they? There’s something about seeing the end of the warmer months that makes booking some winter sun even more tempting. Our main destination feature in this edition is Sri Lanka and India, a part of the world that promises a feast for the senses and an exciting option for anyone looking for something a little more exotic over the coming months.

After almost a year in the planning, our Cruise & Stay service is now running at full speed and we have already created bespoke holiday packages for hundreds of you. With stays, escorted tours, sailings and rail journeys in destinations around the world, it’s the easiest way to extend your cruise holiday into something even more unforgettable. We’ve featured some of our favourite packages inside; where will we take you?

Looking ahead, we’re counting down to the launch of new 2021/22 itineraries from Cunard and P&O Cruises, as well as more exciting updates on Iona in coming weeks. Stay tuned for more!

Finally, you may notice that the wrapping your Into The Blue arrived in feels a little different this time around. We’ve made the switch to potato starch to help eradicate single-use plastic for the sake of the seas we all love to sail; please do recycle yours.

I hope you enjoy reading.

Yours sincerely

ANTWERP ntwerp is an old Aeccentric, a place as cool as Brooklyn and as historic as Bruges. Getting lost in its old town sees you discover artistic treasures at Rubens House and uncover hidden medieval alleys in Vlaekensgang. There are hip eateries for sustenance and craft breweries for a cold Belgian beer, not to mention melodic carillon concerts, generations-old diamond dealers and even a train station touted as the world’s most romantic. Of course, we’d rather you arrive by sea...

THE SPICE OF LIFE f variety is the spice of life, a holiday to IIndia and Sri Lanka lifts the lid on the whole spice rack. This vast part of the world is a feast for the senses, a delectable, diverse, delicious locale, where vivid colours, heady scents and a cacophony of sounds surround and surprise you. There’s nowhere on earth quite like here; multi-cultural, historical, modern and overwhelming in a way that will leave you feeling like you’ve had the adventure of a lifetime in a place where few are fortunate enough to wander.

You could spend years exploring all on offer, from the grand palaces of India to the beaches of Goa and jungles of Sri Lanka. But who has all the time in the world with which to play? An ebb and flow of unspoilt beaches one day and frenetic, friendly cities the next, a cruise here is effortless and unforgettable.

COCHIN

ohemian Cochin is the cultural Bcapital of India and visitors have been welcomed portside here for over 600 years, ever since the spice trade put the then Portuguese settlement on the map. Over time, the city has only gotten more charming, an amalgamation of influences meaning Chinese fishing nets suspended against sunset skies, India’s Colombo oldest synagogue giving a nod to Jewish culture and colonial buildings standing as regal reminders of Portuguese and Dutch occupation.

Cochin offers much to its guests, but its star attraction are the backwaters, meandering canals and lagoons shaded with coconut palms and with a shoreline scattered with tiny communities. Most excursions board in Alleppey and navigate the waterways that cut through lush paddy fields and jungle vegetation, often calling at historic Fort Kochi to visit St. Francis Church, India’s oldest Houseboat operating in European church and the burial place of the backwaters of Kerala On board a houseboat explorer . Cochin fishing nets With the swaying palms and rice paddies of Cochin rolling by, you’ll get an idea of rural India away from the excitement of the cities, where life is slow and steady against spectacular scenery. It’s a part of any India and Sri Lanka cruise itinerary that isn’t forgotten in a hurry. In fact, for many, Cochin is the highlight of a holiday. Kerala’s traditional martial arts

ack in the day, Goa held Breputation as a hippy enclave awash with tie-dye trousers and yogis. But India’s smallest state has more to it than that. Nestled in the south of the country, Goa’s 40-plus miles of coast are its lifeline. They welcome sunseekers with perfect sands at the likes of Calangute and Cansaulim, and appeal to bargain hunters with famous beachside flea markets at Anjuna. Life here is lived by the beach and who doesn’t long for that?

If even paradise can’t persuade you Cochin to sit still for long, excursions from the port in Mormugao to the capital, Panjim City, will walk you through the intriguing Portuguese Latin Quarters, where red-roofed houses date back Colombo to the 18th and 19th centuries.

COLOMBO

ack at the beginning of the year, BSri Lanka was named the world’s top travel destination for 2019 by . Fast forward to Easter and tragedy struck. But Sri Lanka has bounced back spectacularly, emerging stronger than ever and with a lust for life that reminds us why we’re so desperate to visit a place Marco Polo described as ‘the most beautiful island in the world’. With the FCO advisory lifted, there has never been a better time to beat the crowds and visit Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo blends Portuguese, Dutch, English and Indian influences to create a cultural hotchpotch that’s intoxicating. The Pettah bazaar is a hive of activity and the pavements around it see fresh fruit stalls stacked high beside street food stands, not to mention Sea Street, a mile-long stretch of jewellers where all that glitters is gold.

Elsewhere, excursions out of the city promise an opportunity to delve into the carved Elephanta Caves complex or take in India’s most fabled Cochin mausoleum, the Taj Mahal.

Many cruise lines earmark Mumbai for their overnight stays on India itineraries, meaning more time to venture past Colombo landmarks that are unmissable but by no means all the destination has to offer.

RIVERS OF GOLD Following AmaDouro’s introduction to one of the oldest wine countries in the world, Into The Blue’s Rebecca Martin embarked the namesake AmaWaterways ship that is bringing a touch of gold to Portugal’s Douro River.

here are certain things Tthat can’t help but make a town feel like fun. Having experienced Porto, I can confirm that riversides lined with port wine merchants and cavernous cellars converted into divine dining spots are amongst those things. For those first few hours in Portugal’s second city, AmaDouro becomes a haven-like place in which to By the time Fortunata has refilled my retreat after sampling the wares of a glass and I’ve made myself comfortable place that is intoxicating in every sense. in one of the rocking chairs that sit front And then, after a day and a night, it is and centre at the bow of the ship, the beneath the Louis I iron bridge from scenery has already started to change. which the local lads swan-dived the Porto’s riverside bairro of Ribeiro gives afternoon before we go. way in a colourful blur to plumes of eucalyptus trees and greenery that We’re bound for a week of wine on grows to the very edge of the river, give the ‘River of Gold’, so called by the or take a beach or two.

The nature of the river and a lack of artificial light means that all sailing is done during the day. This means you don’t miss a thing, whether you position yourself in the lounge with your book or by the pool with a drink. With only 100 passengers, the ship feels utterly , the quiet giving way only to the toot of a horn at a passing pleasure boat or to birdsong, the singer heard but rarely seen. Quintas and villas emerge at the end of roads to nowhere as you roll on by. Some are charmingly unassuming, timeworn white with olive shutters and washing flapping in the wind.

The next day, Pinhão brings sweet ginjinha liquor and sugar-crusted almonds at the baking-hot hilltop town of Castelo Rodrigo. It’s our most leisurely day of the week and everyone laps up the opportunity to relax and soak up some of that Mediterranean sun back on board.

The Douro becomes impassable once you reach the Spanish border, but there’s time for a jaunt into Salamanca before doubling back along the river. ‘The Golden City’ is a sea of sandstone and an academic powerhouse with the fourth-oldest university in the world. There’s a youthful energy and regal history in a place where adventurers like Christopher Columbus and Hernán Cortés concocted grand plans to explore. In the studious surrounds of Salamanca University, you can be forgiven for thinking that the sound of footsteps on flagstones is you stepping into a Dan Brown novel.

32 INTO THE BLUE 01246 819 819 Our final day is a favourite, starting with a pastéis de nata demo with sous chef Raúl in the lounge and rounding off with visits to two quintas, naturally. Quinta de Avessada sits pretty in the village of Favaios, where views from a wine-glass shaped infinity pool stretch for miles. Dinner is a Portuguese feast of local dishes, each served with a glass of its Muscatel produce and introduced with a story of how the estate at the heart of the region kept wine production alive during tough times. This, combined with our animated host and the poached pear with red wine, cinnamon and brown sugar dessert, saw it deemed by many as a standout experience of the trip.

Last, but not least, was Mateus Palace and Quinta da Aveleda Gardens, creator of the Mateus rosé that kept a generation refreshed from its flask-like bottle during the summers of the ‘70s and is experiencing a revival after a recipe tweak.

And then, after a slow and fond farewell to those vineyard-stacked valleys from Quinta da Avessada the decks of the AmaDouro, it was back to Porto to end the trip with an afternoon and evening in the city where it started. Cork were purchased, and one last glass of port was raised to new friends brought together by booze and leaving with plans and promises of winery visits and international catch-ups.

AmaDouro is resolutely local, with the crew, the food, even the furniture all hailing from Portugal. But while all of the above was fabulous, not to mention the ship itself, for all the food and wine that played a part in our week, the real star was the river. Meandering Quinta da Aveleda along in all its golden glory.

Cruise ships sail from the opposite side of the water to the city centre and this epic feat of engineering connects the two from 24-metres below surface level. When it opened in 1911, the 426m tunnel was unlike anything ever seen before and its vintage signage, wrought iron staircase and maritime motifs alone are worth the trip.

Dialogue in the Dark is an experiential exhibition that sees visitors led by blind guides in absolute darkness, negotiating the everyday situations anyone with 20/20 vision takes for granted, like crossing a busy road or walking in the park.

It isn’t easy to come by – you’ll find nothing more than a door marked with the number 27 – but the out-there bar inside is seriously cool, with moss on the walls and a tree spreading its branches across the bar. Clockers produces its own gin and has come to be known as one of Hamburg’s best bars.
