The post Tennis star Jannik Sinner is Explora Journeys’ new brand ambassador appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

MSC Group’s luxury lifestyle ocean travel brand Explora Journeys announced its partnership with world-renowned tennis champion Jannik Sinner, who will serve as the brand’s new ambassador. 

The partnership was officially unveiled at an exclusive event at The CORE: Club in New York City. 

The highlight of the evening was an engaging Q&A session with Jannik Sinner, during which he spoke candidly about his personal wellness philosophy, the importance of balance in high-performance environments, and his excitement about bringing his mindset to life through the Explora Journeys experience.

The announcement comes just ahead of the US Open, where Sinner will compete on one of tennis’s most prestigious stages.

Common ground

This partnership is built on shared values and a common philosophy, bringing together two worlds united by precision, passion, and the pursuit of excellence. 

Sinner’s rise to the top of professional tennis has been defined by skill, discipline, and composure, qualities that resonate deeply with Explora Journeys’ approach to delivering transformative ocean travel experiences. 

Both share a belief that true mastery lies in the details: from the focus and preparation behind every point on the court to the thoughtful craftsmanship that defines every aspect of Explora Journeys: each suite a sanctuary, each menu a celebration, each journey designed to stir emotion and discovery.

An ocean state of mind

At the heart of this collaboration is The Ocean State of Mind, Explora Journeys’ guiding ethos: a philosophy inspired by the sea and its ability to create calm, clarity, and connection. 

For Sinner, these values are essential to his performance: balance to navigate high-pressure moments, resilience to recover, and the ability to remain grounded in the constant pursuit of improvement. 

This alignment reflects a shared understanding that excellence is not only about results, but also about process, authenticity, and wellbeing.

That said, Sinner’s role as brand ambassador will see him appearing in select brand campaigns and co-creating a series of exclusive onboard activations and wellness rituals with his team. 

This collaboration will further enhance Explora Journeys’ mission to connect discerning guests with unique experiences that combine modern European elegance, immersive discovery, and the restorative power of the ocean.

The post Korean Air announces plans to augment fleet with 103 Boeing aircraft appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Korean Air announced its intent to purchase 103 of Boeing’s fuel-efficient family of airplanes earlier today, 26th August.

The South Korean carrier seeks to modernise its fleet and support further growth as it fully integrates operations with Asiana Airlines over the next several years.

This historic agreement was signed during the Korea-U.S. Business Roundtable which centred on Partnership for a Manufacturing Renaissance. 

Howard Lutnick, US secretary of commerce, and South Korean minister of trade, industry, and energy Kim Jung-kwan presided over the event.

Korean Air’s commitment will be the airline’s largest-ever order and Boeing’s largest widebody order from an Asian carrier. 

A pivotal moment

Korean Air chairman and chief executive Walter Cho said of the impending purchase: “This agreement with our long-standing partners, Boeing and GE, marks a pivotal moment for Korean Air. Acquiring these next-generation aircraft is the core of our fleet modernization strategy, delivering significant gains in fuel efficiency and enhancing the passenger experience across our global network.”

Cho added that the investment is also a critical enabler for the airline’s future as a merged airline with Asiana, ensuring that the combined entity becomes one of the most competitive airlines in the global aviation sector.

What happens now?

Upon finalisation, the deal will mark Korean Air’s first order for the 777-8F and will support an estimated 135,000 jobs across the United States. 

The order will be posted to Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website once it is completed and includes the following models:

• 20 777-9s
• 25 787-10s
• 50 737-10s
• 8 777-8 Freighters

Korean Air’s orders and commitments for Boeing airplanes in 2025 surpasses 150 units, following the airline’s incremental order in March for 20 777-9s and 20 787-10s.

This moved Stephanie Pope, president and chief executive of Boeing Commercial Airplanes to say: “We are honoured to strengthen our partnership with Korean Air through this landmark agreement, which reflects the value and capabilities of Boeing’s market-leading airplane family. As Korean Air transitions to a larger unified carrier, we are committed to supporting the airline’s growth with one of the world’s most efficient fleets.”

The post Northern Mindanao communities step up as heritage guardians appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Community members in Northern Mindanao recently trained as guardians of the Philippines’ national heritage.

This was the result of the successful 14th run of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP)’s Conservation Goes to the Province programme.

Per a statement released on Monday, 25th August, parish secretaries, museum caretakers, pastoral councils, utility personnel, and parish representatives from the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro and the province of Camiguin underwent essential knowledge and skills workshop in preventive conservation and heritage preservation from 18th to 22nd August in Jasaan, Misamis Oriental.

In the same statement, the NHCP expressed gratitude to its local partners, including the Jasaan Parish Restoration and Development Committee, Inc., the Parish of the Immaculate Conception led by Rev Fr Elvin Bernard Simene, Mayor Redentor Jardin of Jasaan, and the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro.

Through Conservation Goes to the Province, the NHCP continues to empower Filipinos across the country, proving that heritage preservation is not only the work of experts but also of communities who live closest to history’s treasures. 

Getting into the art of cultural conservation

Modules included the conservation of paper, textiles, wood, metal, and built heritage, as well as disaster risk management planning.

Participants engaged in hands-on training on documentation, condition assessment, and basic repairs of historic materials, ensuring they can apply these techniques directly within their communities.

Beyond technical training, the program also fostered deeper appreciation for heritage. Pocket lectures and demonstrations introduced participants to traditional bookbinding, inventory and accessioning of collections, preservation of religious images, vesting and guidelines for camarero organization, and heritage sketching for youth.

The program also introduced modern approaches, such as non-destructive analytical tools for material identification, bridging local practices with advanced conservation technology.

The post Seabourn and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises combine their two best small-ship voyages appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Seabourn and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises jointly announced a new partnership that enables them to offer a trip combining two of their most popular small-ship itineraries.

Consumers and agents will now be able book Venice and the Mediterranean Sea, a 2026 package that brings together Uniworld’s immersive Venice and the Jewels of the Veneto cruise aboard the one-of-a-kind Super Ship La Venezia, with seven nights on board the exquisite Seabourn Quest sailing the Adriatic and Grecian Gems between Venice and Athens.

It is the first time that ultra-luxury river and ocean cruise brands have collaborated to offer two distinct yet complementary cruises within one package. 

Both ships offer the refined all-inclusive luxury, highly personalised service, elegant surroundings and engaging onboard entertainment for which both companies are renowned.

The partnership comes following Uniworld-commissioned customer research that showed 85 percent of its customer base had also experienced ocean cruising, with Seabourn featuring highly as a favoured brand.

A suite of supporting assets will be available to agents including a dedicated digital brochure and a video blog from the team at the Posh Travel Blog which brings both experiences to life in fantastic detail. 

A storied first for both brands

Uniworld’s managing director for the UK and Europe Chris Townson commented: “Bringing together river and ocean cruise is a global first for the luxury cruise space, and we are beyond excited to be delivering this new opportunity to guests and agents. Our research told us that there is lots of crossover between Uniworld and Seabourn guests, so it makes absolute sense for us to deliver a package that offers the best of both worlds. Now they can enjoy the exceptional service, beautifully intimate ships and enriching travel experiences that both brands offer in one seamless trip. It’s part of Uniworld’s continued strategy to offer river cruise and more, complementing our growing collection of longer, immersive itineraries that include stays in iconic hotels, luxury river cruising and private rail at the very highest level.”

Seabourn vice-president for UK and EMEA Lynn Narraway added: “It’s a real pleasure to be partnering with our friends at Uniworld, a brand whose values, service and product are so aligned to our own. This is a such a fantastic proposition for travel partners and their clients. We’re offering the finest river and ocean cruising available in one trip, fully commissionable, inclusive of flights and with assets and bespoke collateral that will really help agents to sell it. We encourage all our partners to embrace this opportunity for 2026, as we anticipate this will sell really quickly!”

Mark your calendars

The 15-day itinerary is on offer on two dates in 2026: 5th July and 30th August.

In both cases, the itinerary will showcase the very best of Venice and the Venetian lagoon, including the colourful islands of Burano, Mazzorbo and Torcello with included experiences such as an exclusive, after hours VIP visit to St Mark’s Basilica and a sommelier-led private wine pairing at Dominico di Baglio, one of the oldest wine estates in Europe.

Guests will then be transported via private coach directly to Seabourn Quest, a mere 20-minute drive away, for their sailing to Athens via Croatia, Montenegro and the Greek Islands. 

Highlights include the easy-going charm and exquisite seafood of Croatia’s Vodice; the dramatic approach into the walled town of Kotor, surrounded by mountains; and the Venetian influences and fortress views in Nafplion, one of Greece’s most picturesque ports.

There is also the option to add Uniworld’s new three-day extension in Slovenia, staying at the sublime Intercontinental Hotel in Ljubljana, and including a visit to the iconic Lake Bled, the awe-inspiring Postojna Caves and an intimate visit to a local bee farm to sample the honey and even make a beeswax candle.

Key inclusions

Prices for Venice & the Mediterranean Sea start from £6,499 per person sharing a Classic cabin / OceanView suite, including return flights, 14 nights’ all-inclusive cruising and transfers. 

The programmed activities are also included during the seven-night stay on the Super Ship La Venezia. An early booking discount is available until 30th September 2025, making the introductory offer £5,849.10 per person sharing.

On the other hand, the 18-day Slovenia, Venice & the Mediterranean Sea itinerary costs from £7,499 per person sharing in a Classic cabin / OceanView suite, with an introductory offer of £6,749.10, also valid until 30th September 2025.
