s I write this, summer still feels a million miles Aaway here in the UK. Weeks of rain has left most of us longing for some sun on our skin and sand beneath our feet, both of which are available in abundance in Portugal. The destination has experienced a surge in popularity, yet it remains excellent value, with a unique combination of golden beaches, bustling cities and delicious local food to tempt those looking for an alternative to the more traditional Mediterranean spots.

That said, for anyone who is keen to spend this summer in those Mediterranean gems, remains a tempting proposition. I recently spent three days on board and the innovative new ship comes with my personal recommendation.

This edition of Into The Blue also sees us meander along the Danube with AmaWaterways and get a first look at Celebrity Flora, a ship which celebrates 16 years in the Galapagos Islands for . We’re also spending 36 Hours in Palma and talking travel with Jools Holland.

Finally, I’m thrilled to announce the exciting news that our dedicated Cruise & Stay tailor-made holiday service is now live! This is something we have been developing for almost a year, so we’re thrilled to finally be able to offer a specially-trained team capable of curating your perfect land and cruise package in destinations across the globe.

Celebrity Flora may introduce a whole new level of luxury to the region with all-suite accommodation and venues designed to some of the highest standards at sea (not to mention the opportunity for ‘glamping under the stars’), but she is first and foremost an expedition ship that treads delicately in one of the world’s most fragile ecosystems.

The Club by Jools THE SOUND OF DISCOVERY He’s the music legend set to bring live music to the seas in ‘The Club by Jools’, an exciting new venue aboard Saga’s brand new ship, Spirit of Discovery. Before setting sail, he spoke exclusively to editor Rebecca Martin for Into The Blue.

When atmosphere are the main things, and we discussed going out on the ships, to have something that is lively yet I was very excited, and then they said retrospective. It’s retrospective in a way ‘you’re going to play at the launch of that being on a ship is a glamorous idea the ship’. I thought it’d be great to have and ‘The Club by Jools’ plays into that a ship named after you, but I think the a bit.

And when you reach your destination, where is the first place you head?

I think it depends where you’re going but old port cities are great because they used to be the main way into a place, so you arrive right into the heart of it. The train came much later and the car much later still, so I think it’s great to weave right in there from the sea. There’s usually a grand port building and I quite enjoy seeing working docks too; it adds to the romance of it. Beyond that, in my experience if you head for the cathedral of a city, you’re likely to be in the centre of it. Those parts between there and the port are usually the best parts of town for me and the most atmospheric.

You’re already an avid cruiser. What do you enjoy most about cruising?

Well, there are two things. One is that you are cut off in a bubble, away from the reality of home. I think everyone has things they’re trying to get away from and it’s just a very nice way to escape. And then the fact that you’re visiting places that are really beautiful is like an incredible bonus. You’re escaping, for those moments, into a magical world.

This brings me nicely to what makes AmaMagna stand out in the world of river, apart from the obvious size difference, and that is the dining.

As members of the prestigious La Chaîne De Rôtisseurs, AmaWaterways are already known for their exceptional standards of world-class cuisine. However, what AmaMagna delivers that standard-sized ships cannot is a choice of dining venues, something more akin to what you would expect to find on a small, luxury ocean vessel. She boasts three dining venues in addition to the main restaurant, all of which are included in the cost of the cruise with wine, beer and soft drinks at mealtimes too. Melk Abbey

36 HOURS IN

here are many reasons why Palma PALMATproves such a tempting proposition as the departure point for Mediterranean itineraries. The sun warms the sandstone of its historic old town almost year-round and the harbour is never empty of boats, both owned by fishermen and chartered by those seeking solace on the bluest of blues that lap at Mallorca’s coast. The port sits at the heart of the city, encouraging idle mornings watching the sun come up over La Seu and balmy evening walks along the waterfront without a destination in mind.

Here’s how we’d spend 36 hours in Palma and beyond the city borders. Because Mallorca is magic.
