However, since it opened in February, Josephine House has taken on a life of its own. Lunches and late afternoon comestibles at Josephine House stand on their merit. Josephine House, set in a little blue cottage in the charming Clarksville neighborhood just west of downtown Austin, is available for full buyouts that includes both Indoor and outdoor seating on the wraparound patio. The Apartment, located above sister restaurant, Jeffrey’s, is ideal for  intimate daytime parties or meetings with all the Josephine House favorites.

Casa Josephine Studio for LOEWE

Located in the heart of Madrid, on Calle Santa Ana 15 in Madrid's Rastro neighborhood, this space unites the concepts of a showroom (with pieces of furniture for sale) and a décor studio. It is characterized by its selection and edition of objects and artistic pieces. The lights in the house suddenly flick on as the power finally returns, and Duff lets out a little “Yay! ” in the middle of describing his own light-bulb moments with his daughter.

An earlier interior view reveals how the artist arranged the home's light-filled studio space. Blackberry cobbler with homemade ice cream, peach upside-down cake with ginger ice cream and bourbon sauce, or blueberry tart with sweet corn ice cream ($8 each) are well-deserved after the strenuous exertions of a slow repast. Josephine House is the latest acquisition in the ever-expanding empire of the McGuire Moorman Hospitality Group, which has perfected the art of entertainment dining. Nestled up against the new Jeffrey's and serving only snacks and drinks during the evening hours, it seems like Josephine House's initial concept was as a stylish waiting area for the main attraction next door.

The light-filled house had doubled as his studio. What's the fastest way to take a trip through time? Go to Josephine House for lunch, where everything is staged with Southern Living nostalgia in mind, right down to marble counters, whitewashed shiplap walls, and the seersucker-uniformed staff. Josephine House is the type of place where you can easily dither away the afternoon sipping iced teas and grazing on cool melon salads. A huge oak shades the patio while the low hum of oscillating fans lulls you into a lazy midsummer languor.

Inside Richard Neutra’s Historic Chuey House

The menu changes daily and generally features healthy foods that belong to the season; the summer menu, for instance, relies heavily on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and melon, all brightened with fresh herbs and local cheese. Smoked Gulf snapper on a salad of minted watermelon and cucumber ($18) struck the perfect note for a 103-degree day. A puff-pastry savory tart with roasted tomatoes and eggplant ($12) evoked picnics and croquet on grass-covered lawns. Chef Jen Jackson, formerly of Lenoir and Swift's Attic, has taken a few classy old standards and injected new life into them using a modern farm-to-table sensibility.

Mediterranean culture, the 20th century avant-garde style and the history of art are the foundation of its creative conception. Their work has been recognized by the domestic and international press and media. On their first date they talked for seven hours, and two weeks later they took a spontaneous trip to Hawaii together.

“I think if I wasn’t woodworking, if I wasn’t doing other creative things, playing music, I would probably miss it a lot more.” Plus, “there’s still a lot of baking in the house,” adds Duff, who shoots his cookbooks here. Duff credits his laid-back attitude to this house, where he and Johnna moved after their wedding — it’s surrounded by nature up a steep, unpaved road off a winding canyon highway — and all the hobbies he’s delved into here. He’s been making toys for their daughter Josephine, 2, and practicing the guitar for his band Foie Grock (a play on “foie gras” and “rock and roll”). Along with the house itself, the developers purchased the more than 200 paintings of Robert Chuey’s estate.

Despite the stunning vistas and storied provenance, however, when the house went on the market for $10.5 million in 2017, there wasn’t a buyer in sight. As the asking price continued to drop, the conservancy gave Naouri and Choi its blessing, and they bought the home as well as the hundreds of paintings in Robert Chuey’s estate last spring. “The size of the house was quite small for the price they were asking,” explains Los Angeles developer Philippe Naouri, who with partner Eric Choi bought the house two years later for the reduced price of $5.75 million. The modest 2,000-square-foot house “didn't match the price point” of the highly coveted 1.5 acres it sat on, Naouri says, tempting prospective buyers to raze the historic house and start fresh with a profitable 20,000-square-foot mansion.

Two houses refurbished with rest and comfort in mind. Two perfect accommodations to enjoy the good and simple life with friends or family. With a capacity of people (La Rioja) and 4-5 (Segovia), both are rented as a complete house.

Brunch at Josephine House feels a little like dining at a friend’s (very nice) house. And the best part is that it’s available all week. This is one of our favorite spots in Clarksville for healthy-ish dishes—like the rice bowl served with roasted and pickled vegetables, arugula, and a poached egg.

Grab some fresh-baked scones for the table, then make the difficult decision between citrus-cured lox and lemon ricotta pancakes. There’s also a small menu of fresh-squeezed juices, just be ready to shell out $10 for a glass of (admittedly, very good) OJ.

Serving an eclectic daily menu featuring the best locally sourced products. To defer entirely to the architect’s original vision, however, would mean “making a museum and not a house,” Campbell says.

As a writer, artist and flutist, Johnna shares his passion for being creative. “It was obvious pretty quickly that we were really into each other,” he recalls. Food Network fans watched Duff create hundreds of over-the-top, hyperrealistic cakes at his Baltimore bakery Charm City Cakes for 10 seasons on Ace of Cakes. The baker and his team drew viewers in with their funny rapport and ingenious ideas about how to make an edible Jeep with working lights or the best way to transform a hunk of modeling chocolate into Betty White.

Ho-hum empanadas, for instance, thrill again when they are filled with roasted onions and shishito peppers ($12). A croissant sandwich is a novelty when pastry is flaky and the meat inside it is thin-sliced smoked duck breast accented by tart cherry jam and cabbage slaw ($16). A BLT is elevated by grilled sourdough, roasted tomatoes, herbed pesto, and mustard greens.

Josephine House

Two houses refurbished with rest and comfort in mind. Two perfect accommodations to enjoy the good and simple life with friends or family. With a capacity of people (La Rioja) and 4-5 (Segovia), both are rented as a complete house.

An old-fashioned vibe encapsulated at Josephine House

Rather than tear down any walls, Campbell’s creative solution is to repurpose it as a dining room and build a larger one in the new addition. In 1956, when the still-untamed Hollywood Hills were an experimental architectural lab, the modernist Richard Neutra designed a house there for the painter-and-poet couple Robert Chuey and Josephine Ain Chuey. Built in the International style, the house featured Neutra’s signature emphasis on the Southern California landscape, namely glass walls that let in natural light and framed 360-degree views of the hills and sea. It gave the Chueys space for Robert’s studio practice and their social experiments in psychedelics.

Now there’s a reason for me to be making toys,” he says. He’s made her a set of blocks, a busy board and a fish-shaped clock, and he’s working on a chameleon marionette. The breadth of Robert Chuey’s paintings spanned portrait, still life, landscape, and abstraction. The upscale seafood restaurant Perla’s has an iconic South Congress patio. Casa Josephine is an interior design and architecture studio based in Madrid, founded and led by Iñigo Aragón and Pablo López Navarro.

Royal Caribbean Vs Virgin Voyages: Cruise Ship Comparison With Photos

virgin voyages cruise ships

Groups who don't want to squeeze four into a room (and we wouldn't recommend it, given Virgin's tiny bathrooms and limited storage) can take advantage of connecting rooms. With three ships in the water by the end of the summer, Virgin Voyages is welcoming its fourth lady ship to the family. Virgin Voyages is committed to having one of the cleanest fleets at sea, by investing in clean efficient technologies and implementing policies to reduce our environmental footprint. You won’t find single-use plastics onboard our ships – we want everyone to make use of recyclable and reusable materials. Virgin Voyages is on a mission to create the world’s most irresistible travel brand. We’re seeking to redefine what you should expect from a holiday at sea and create an Epic Sea Change For All.

virgin voyages cruise ships

Suite dreams are made of this

Savings are reinvested into fresh (locally sourced) top-quality products, exotic ingredients, highly trained staff, and clean technologies. In April 2019 was signed a partnership with Emerald Brand to supply the fleet with "Tree-Free" (disposable) paper products, including facial-bath tissues, paper towels, napkins, hot cups. Those are made from % Tree-Free materials via technologies that use by-products of agricultural crops usually wasted or burned. In March 2022 was announced a partnership with Jennifer Lynn Lopez (1969-born American actress and singer) via her brand company "JLo Beauty and Lifestyle LLC". Jennifer Lopez joined Virgin Voyages as an investor and chief of entertainment/advisor/lifestyle officer.

At the same restaurant, I loved the chocolate, caramel tacos.

Additional sun-worshipping space can be found one deck up, including at the Athletic Club Bar at the back of the ship where you can perch on circular sunbeds or a suspended catamaran net with views to the wake below. If you really want to live it up, you can book RockStar Quarters or Mega RockStar Quarters, Virgin's two categories of suites. These extra-large rooms come with attractions like music rooms, turntables, peekaboo showers with windows to the sea, fully-stocked bars and large balconies. Scarlet Lady offers the usual cruise ship mix of windowless inside cabins, ocean-view rooms with large windows that don't open, cabins with private balconies and large suites. Cruise rooms sleep one to four guests, with twin beds that can be combined into queens and upper bunks. The company doesn't follow any traditional cruise dining concepts.

Virgin's private island resort "Bimini Beach Club" (Bahamas)

Our Sailors can adjust the room temperature, so you can cool down after a long day lounging in the heat, or warm up after taking a dip in one of our Redemption Spa’s cold plunge pools. Because in a world where women are still fighting for their place at the table, intelligence is something women are often taught not to claim for themselves. All cabins are outfitted with North American, USB and universal (European, U.K. and many other countries) outlets. You can make adjustments for dietary restrictions, but your waiter will bring out dishes with each of those items starring in it in an unusual way and will announce what you're eating after the plate is set in front of you.

We were told he always greets his ships when he’s on the island, sometimes with fireworks. We didn’t feel like we had to dress to the nines or that meals were completely over the top when dining every evening. From crispy artichokes with caper aioli and charred lemon aperitivo to the secondo porcini-rubbed New York Strip with Calabrian chili butter, farro and sauteed escarole, we raved about every bite. We weren’t the only ones who loved this spot; every passenger we spoke to said it was their favorite, and we failed to secure a second reservation due to its popularity. When my best friend suggested we needed some one-on-one girl time, we knew we wanted to spend a week in the Caribbean sun and escape winter’s wrath.

I booked a cabin with only a window on the Royal Caribbean cruise. Here's the rundown of all the similarities and differences between these two cruise lines — and which was more worth the cost for me. Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages offer completely different experiences. Before the tour, you should start thinking about how to stock your bottomless bar for stargazing in the hot tub —because there's no dream that this suite, and your RockStar Agents, can't make a reality. Resilient Lady is homeported in Piraeus-Athens Greece (May through July 2024) for Aegean and Adriatic itineraries.

The first ship's (Scarlet Lady) keel-laying ceremony was held on October 31, 2017, and attended by Sir Richard Branson, Tom McAlpin, and Boy George (UK singer, songwriter, fashion designer) who performed as superstar DJ. During the ceremony were also revealed the ship design and hull art of the future Virgin "Lady Ships". In September, Nirmal Saverimuttu succeeded Michael McAlpin as the company's President and CEO. Along with the new appointment was announced a capital raise of USD 550 million (~EUR 512M/~GBP 440M) with funds managed by Ares Management's Private Equity Group.

Cruise cabins vs. hotel rooms: the similarities and differences.

You enter the main living area with a circular couch seating area and a full bar. To one side is the music room, which can double as an extra bedroom; the suite sleeps up to four — that is if you don't stay up rocking out on the provided guitars all night. The Posh Suite measures 833 square feet, with living and sleeping areas divided by a wall. It can sleep four (the living room sofa can convert to a bed) and has a bath and a half (the master with a peekaboo shower looking into the bedroom and out the balcony doors beyond). The balcony is similar to the other suite terraces with lounge chairs, a hammock, Champagne table and chairs and a small couch.

But I, who have successfully employed numerous cruise ship apps, had to ask a crew member to show me where to find deck plans in the Sailor App. In-app room service ordering was glitchy, but my cabin attendant hadn't left me a printout of the menu, so I never tried in-room dining. The drag show was a hoot, and the DanceShowPartyThing was different than any cruise ship show I've ever seen and a lighthearted fun time.

Although it's not quite a private island like Royal Caribbean's CocoCay and Disney Cruise Line's Castaway Cay, that doesn't really matter. You'll feel like you're in an exclusive setting after taking the open-air tram from the ship's dock to the modern, beautiful beach club. While some fellow cruisers we met enjoyed the restaurant, it was extremely underwhelming during our visit, serving the worst shrimp and grits I've ever had. Not to mention, the service was slow and seafood options were surprisingly limited for a restaurant that claims to specialize in steak and seafood. Sea View cabins are slightly bigger at 130 to 190 square feet and can sleep one to three people, with one pull-down bunk and beds that convert from a queen to two twins.

On the cabin's long wall, there was a cloth headboard and a narrow white platform with one thick armrest. But if you, like me, are tired of (or turned off by) the same-old cruise ship formula, this ship might just offer the cruise vacation you didn't know you were looking for. The ship does not have a buffet or a cavernous banquet-style dining room. Kids are not welcome, but the adults-only ship gives grownups plenty of opportunities to play in both childlike and mature ways. Cruise fares include all meals, soda, basic Wi-Fi and crew gratuities, but it's not a luxury product filled with opulent decor, sedate travelers and a stuffy vibe. Onboard entertainment will include sexual innuendos, F-bombs and queer themes.

Your server will bring the most popular of the appetizer, seafood, meat and dessert courses, though your table can turn down any option, ask for more of a favorite or request the alternatives (mostly vegetarian dishes). All the seafood (shrimp, octopus, etc.) is cooked together in the table's central grilling station, followed by the meat – without a thorough cleaning of the grill. If this bothers you due to allergies or dietary restrictions, make sure you inform the server. You can use the one long shelf beneath the sink or place your items in the small space next to the sink – there are no other drawers or shelves.

We paddled the canoe to shore near the Mendenhall Glacier which means that we got closer to the glacier than the vast majority of people do. Most people will go to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center to get a distant view of the glacier. Because it’s at high altitude, there is still snow, even in the summer.

You can view them from the wilderness, a cozy lodge, or even a hot springs. The 5 cruise ports and terminals above are the ones you’re most likely going to visit during your Alaska cruise – almost all cruise companies visit almost all of them on almost all of their itineraries. You can do the White Pass railway as a standalone excursion, or there are many different combination tours you can do that includes the White Pass train.

From your departure in Skagway, you’ll climb 3,292 feet above sea level in your deluxe motor coach to White Pass. Visit the authentic Yukon town of Caribou Crossing, marvel at sparkling lakes, and more. Between the amazing lunch location, informative guides, tales of simpler times, and the majestic views, you’ll love this combination excursion.

Go high into the mountains on the White Pass Railway for breathtaking views and a better understanding of the prospectors’ plight. Make new friends, eat new cuisine, and watch wildlife hunt and play in their home turf. From culture to food to icy thrills, our iconic Alaska shore excursions will make your trip one to remember forever. You'll find magnificent mountains (often snow-capped, even in the summertime), lush forests, waterfalls, fjords and calving glaciers. If it's marine life you've come to see, you'll find it in abundance, from whales and dolphins to sea lions and harbor seals. On land, you'll likely spy bears and Dall sheep while eagles, puffins and a host of seabirds circle above.

Then Ketchikan's Bering Sea Crab Fisherman's Tour is the shore excursion for you. Those who book it will ride along on Aleutian Ballad, a fishing boat featured in the second season of "Deadliest Catch." For those seeking a more active way to see the White Pass, we highly recommend you book the White Pass Train & Bike Tour. You take the train up the Pass and then get off at Fraser (which is in British Columbia, Canada -- so bring your passports) for an additional 15-minute van ride to the White Pass summit.

Whale Watching Cruise - Juneau

You won’t choose a helicopter tour based on a specific glacier, as that will be up to the pilot and the conditions of the day. The Mendenhall Glacier is one of the most popular things to do in Juneau from a cruise ship. The tour is advertised as a Juneau icefield seaplane tour, so you will be flying over and seeing part of the massive Juneau icefield with lots of glaciers. This is to say that the expensive excursions that are popular are GOOD because they provide you with an epic experience that will have you remembering your time in Alaska forever.

It is known for its charming blend of British heritage and natural beauty. Since you are arriving later in the evening, you’ll only have a few hours to explore the city, so I recommend taking a City Highlights Tour. Take advantage of a day at sea to fully enjoy the amenities offered on Royal Princess. You’ll have a little bit of time to walk around the city before saying goodbye to this storybook town. Once you reach the lake, you’ll discover that the surrounding mountain peaks and forest trees are perfectly reflected in the water.

Some venture farther north into the Gulf of Alaska; these are often one-way cruises that begin and end at the ports near Anchorage. I hope this guide will help you discover the best Alaska cruise excursions with Princess Cruises. Our kids especially loved being able to participate in the Junior Ranger Program at Camp Discovery onboard the Alaskan cruise ship. After the whale-watching tour, you’ll board a bus and head to a traditional Alaska salmon bake. We booked the Whale Watching & Alaska Salmon Bake Excursion where we were able to see humpback whales feeding in the pristine waters of Auke Bay.

Pad­dle across the shim­mer­ing lake to a shore­line camp for a deli­cious snack over an open fire. Enjoy some sto­ry­telling, then go on a short nature walk through a beau­ti­ful old-growth forest. The five-hour, Skagway-based outing begins with a transfer from your ship to a nearby helicopter pad, where you'll find a helicopter waiting to whisk you high into the surrounding Sawtooth Mountain Range. It's also insanely expensive, as I know from firsthand experience. I once took my entire family of five on this excursion, dropping more than $2,000 in the process.

There's nothing that says Alaska quite like a trip in a floatplane. And, if you're going to do a floatplane ride, there's nowhere better than in Ketchikan. You'll find a small armada of floatplanes waiting to take you to nearby Misty Fjords National Monument. Returning to Glacier Station, you'll end the day with a ride back to Skagway on the White Pass & Yukon Railway, which makes a special stop to pick you up.

Top scenic cruising destinations in Alaska include Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Hubbard Glacier, Tracy Arm (Twin Sawyer Glaciers), Dawes Glacier at Endicott Arm and College Fjord. If you want to cruise Alaska but also see some of the interior and enjoy a stay in a lodge or hotel, go for a cruisetour package from either Holland America or Princess Cruises. Both have fantastic itineraries that take passengers not only to the Inside Passage, but also Anchorage, Denali National Park, the Yukon, Kenai Peninsula, Talkeetna and Fairbanks. Ships in all price ranges sail a variety of itineraries, so don't let budget stop you from visiting. If luxury is what you're after, you can find lines that will go overboard pampering you on your journey north.

The main mooring was upgraded with 200-ton bollards (metal posts for the mooring lines). The port is currently in the conceptual stage (designs) for building a new (3rd) cruise terminal as the demand for large vessels leaving from Galveston on the weekends is constantly growing.

List of All Cruise Ship Webcams: Watch Live Cameras Now

This webcam high above a nearby building give a perfect view of the port, where you can also see all the way to South Beach on a clear day. Up until the industry-wide shutdown in 2020, Royal Caribbean International offered public webcam broadcasting. Cruise liners have resumed sailing, but they haven’t brought their live webcams with them. All of Princess Cruises’ cruise ships have live webcams available. For a list of cruise ships featuring live webcam streams, continue reading. Norwegian Cruise Line has cruise ship webcams on much of its fleet.

Cruise Webcams to Watch Right Now

Otherwise, you and your camera have free reign, unless asked by a uniformed crew member not to photograph something. Some ships even offer tours of the bridge (where the captain operates the ship) with opportunities to take pictures. There's generally no studio fee or expectation to buy for studio portraits taken onboard the ship, but it's best to check with the photography staff before your session begins. You can view prints of your photos in the ship's photo gallery. Prints are displayed on racks or in binders; some ships also have kiosks that show you digital versions of your family's photos when you swipe your cruise card. Digital previewing on your own device is also available on some ships.

If you are going on a cruise, then chances are high that it will make a stop in Cozumel. It’s often that you’ll find multiple ships in port on any given day, making it a prime place to watch while you’re sitting at home. This webcam looks right at the ships docked at the main pier.

Guests who have downloaded Aida’s mobile app will also be able to watch live feeds from cruise ship cameras, including views from the bridge. Looking to access live cruise ship webcams while on land without breaking the bank? The best websites for this include CruiseMapper and ShipFinder, which offer real-time tracking and webcam feeds. Norwegian Cruise Line provides live webcam feeds from the bow of their vessels.

Costa Cruises Webcams

But for now, if you want to view the Iona cruise ship webcam, the Arvia webcam or any of the others, you won’t be able to. Still, I’ve searched the internet to provide this list of all of the cruise cam feeds live right now. Onboard Internet plans are available for purchase but can be pricey, often charging you by the amount of data you use. Photo and video uploads can quickly eat up your allotted data.

Cruise Ship Webcams: Find Your Favorite Ship in Port or at Sea

The webcams can be viewed online and provide a fun look at the ship’s position. You can see the open ocean extending for miles or the local port where the ship is docked. The cruise ships whose live feeds you can watch from home are listed below.

Allure of the Seas Webcam

Also, connection speeds vary by cruise line and ship, so you need to determine if paying the fee is worth the risk of spotty Wi-Fi and slow upload times. Luxury lines also have professional photographers onboard, but they will be less obtrusive. On river and expedition ships, you may see a crewmember documenting shore tours and special events, but no designated photo team. Carnival’s gem of the fleet, the Vista is already one of the favorites among cruisers, despite being relatively new.

TUI Cruises Webcams

This collection of port cams at Grand Cayman shows the outdoor cruise port facilities, the dock and cargo facilities. You might catch a glimpse of sunshine, or see the occasional poor weather that strikes the Caribbean from time to time. Professional photographers using their own high-end equipment are more limited. Cruise ship wedding packages that include photography may not allow additional professional photography. In port, you're free to take your own professional photos, although some attractions charge a fee or flat-out prohibit it. What one attraction considers "professional equipment" might not be the same as another.

Are there any restrictions as to what I can photograph?

This rotating webcam in Key West, set atop the Shipwreck Museum's tower, offers sweeping real-time views of the Key West Harbor. Press play on the port cam and skip the commercial to stay updated on cruise ship arrivals and departures. Unlike most other cruise lines, Disney Cruise Line has never had a public webcam feed from Disney cruise ships. You can, however, see DCL cruise ships on various port webcams such as Port of Miami, Port Canaveral and Galveston. Not all cruise ships have cameras that are available for the public to view online. In fact, many cruise lines have stopped their webcam services too, which is a real shame.

Viking Ocean Cruises has eight webcams available online on one aggregate page. Live feeds from the cruise ship webcams note the current location and itinerary name for each Viking vessel. Carnival Cruise Line has not offered live cameras since early 2020 when cruising was paused worldwide. It’s not clear why they haven’t brought the live feeds back.

While nothing would compare to actually being on a cruise, technology has made it easier to get your fix. Be sure to join my email list for my best cruise tips and handpicked deals each week. Unfortunately the Costa Cruise webcam pages have been taken down recently, but without an explanation.

Additionally, some cruise ships have an aft webcam that shows off the ship’s wake. On the NCL site, click on your ship of choice and scroll to the image gallery to see an option for webcam. Clicking that will produce a static recent image from the ship’s live camera. Alternatively, Cruising Earth hosts a page with all the Norwegian ship cameras. Having the ability to take pictures during your cruise is a great way to preserve your memories and to share them with others.

Whether you desire adventure, luxury, or exploration, High Seas Cruising is your compass to unforgettable cruise vacations. MSC Cruises stopped providing live webcams in November 2019. If you know the ship webcam you want to view, enter the cruise ship name, camera location or cruise line name below.
