Thames Cruise
The Thames is the lifeblood of London, bringing industry to the city for centuries. It is England’s longest river, leading into the North Sea at its end. It has been the base for settlements since prehistoric times, and was a strategic importance to the Romans and English Kings, as well as during both World Wars.

There are a number of companies in London offering cruises across the Thames. Cruises run as regularly as every 30 minutes from several key locations. The cruises pass several key sightseeing locations, including Tower Bridge, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye.

Some cruises run at night so you can see the sights all lit up, whilst others are served with a meal or afternoon tea. This is a lovely and unique way to view the city, traveling along the historic Thames.

The 10 Best Small Towns to Retire in the U.S.

There's something about small towns that inspires nostalgia and the feeling that traditions of the past still exist on their quaint main streets. Many retirees look for that atmosphere, whether it recalls their own history or a long-imagined ideal place to settle down. There are also practical reasons to move to a small town upon retirement, including affordability, safety, wellness, culture, and comfort. Although not every town offers the ideal combination of these factors, there are many that meet the needs of retirees seeking a simpler life.

Definitions of small towns in terms of population vary from under 10,000 to several times that. Sometimes, towns are considered "small" based on their appearance, lifestyle, or sense of community. In creating this list of small towns, we looked at a variety of qualities (including cost of living, crime data, healthcare availability, senior housing, activities, transportation, and attractions and activities in the area) with the understanding that "best" is ultimately a matter of taste.

Here are some of America's best small towns to consider for retirement or perhaps even for a weekend visit.

Greer, South Carolina
Located in upstate South Carolina with a population of about 33,000 as of 2019, the city has maintained a small town atmosphere, with a revitalized downtown, easy pedestrian access, and attractive twinkling lights. Restaurants, weekly farmers' market, parks, and Thursday night food trucks create a community atmosphere. On the city's website, Greer is described as charming, with festivals, concerts, holiday gatherings, and a variety of recreational activities. Served by the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport as well as Amtrak, the city is accessible and convenient to additional amenities in nearby Greenville. Two hospitals and a cancer center are located within the city, and BMW's manufacturing center is nearby.

Coolidge, Arizona

This south central Arizona town has a 2019 population of 12,685 residents. Set in the northern area of the Sonoran Desert, Coolidge is about 60 miles from Phoenix. Retirees who enjoy desert living for health reasons or personal preference know that summers are quite warm, with July being the hottest month, averaging 106 degrees. Winter is moderate, and snowfall is rare. The cost of living in Coolidge is lower than the national and Arizona average. Natural beauty and a quiet lifestyle are also attractions. The nation's first archaeological reserve, Casa Grande Ruins National Monument, is located in Coolidge. Central Arizona College offers personal enrichment classes, continuing education, and workshops for the community. The town is home to a variety of adult and assisted living housing.

Dillsboro, North Carolina
This small town is located on the banks of the Tuckaseigee River near the south entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. With a population of fewer than 300 residents, Dillsboro maintains its 19th century railroad town charm. Its walkable downtown consists of century-old stores, restaurants, gift shops, and galleries focused on local artisans who have moved to the town. Annual events are centered around arts and crafts. The cost of living in Dillsboro is comparable to the national average, and crime rates are low. Retirees seeking true small town life, a historic setting, and year-round outdoor activities might enjoy Dillsboro, and for a change of pace, Asheville is less than an hour away.

Fredericksburg, Texas

Located in Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg was founded in 1846 by German immigrants, and that heritage infuses the town's food, architecture, and culture. Wine lovers will enjoy living in the midst of more than 100 wineries in the area, and stargazers will appreciate the city's efforts to become a Dark Sky Community, with measures to minimize light pollution. Seasonal changes are significant, with dry, warm summers and cold weather in winter. The area is safe, and crime rates are low. Hill Country Memorial Hospital in Fredericksburg includes an acute care facility and a Wellness Center. As a tourist destination with a number of historical landmarks, the city offers a variety of restaurants, hotels, museums, and entertainment. San Antonio and Austin are the closest major cities, both within 70 miles of Fredericksburg.

Cedar Key, Florida
The Sunshine State is home to many charming small towns, and Cedar Key is one of the smallest and most charming. Retirees in Florida enjoy the financial benefits of having no state income tax, and Cedar Key's cost of living is low to moderate. Set on the Gulf coast with fewer than 10,000 residents, the town is considered safe, quiet, and relaxed. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity of Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge, nature trails, and unspoiled environment. A tourist destination, especially in winter, the town features excellent seafood, with farm-raised clams and Florida oysters available all year. About an hour's drive southwest of Gainesville, the island's cottages, homes, and aquaculture are accessible by Highway 24, the only road entering the town.

Belize to Require Travel Insurance for Visitors Starting in February

Travelers headed to Belize in search of sunshine, beaches, and world-class scuba diving will soon be required to purchase travel insurance for their trip.

Beginning Feb. 15, all international visitors must purchase an official travel insurance policy, according to a recent announcement from the Belize Tourism Board. The policy, costing $18, will cover up to $50,000 in COVID-19-related medical expenses and up to $2,000 for lodging expenses should a traveler need to quarantine in Belize.

The travel insurance requirement will remain in effect for 21 days and will also cover emergencies related to other medical conditions, medical evacuation by air, and costs related to a trip being interrupted.

"The new travel health insurance mandate underscores Belize's commitment to health and safety, enhancing travel confidence and giving visitors peace of mind to schedule that well-deserved vacation for 2022 and beyond," the Belize Tourism Board said in announcing the requirement

Travelers headed back to the U.S. must test negative for COVID-19 within a day of their return flight, a requirement that's resulted in the U.S. State Department recommending vacationers plan for surprise quarantine expenses.
Travelers to Belize are already required to test negative for COVID-19 to enter the Central American country regardless of their vaccination status. Visitors must present a negative PCR test taken within 96 hours of their arrival in Belize or an antigen test taken within 48 hours of their arrival.

Results of at-home test kits are not accepted under current policies.

Visitors also must stick to hotels and tour operators whose COVID-19 safety standards have been approved by the Belizean government. That list is being regularly updated and already includes nearly 700 accommodation options and more than 250 tour operators.

Anyone arriving without negative COVID-19 test results to Philip Goldson International Airport, outside of Belize City, is required to take a COVID-19 test onsite for $50 cash.

And anyone testing positive on arrival won't be sent immediately back home. Instead, they'll have to quarantine for a minimum of 10 days at their own expense.

Children under 5 are exempt from Belize's COVID-19 testing policies.

Travel insurance policies for Belize can be purchased prior to travel, at the airport, or at land border crossings.

Ibiza
The third largest of the Balearic Islands, Ibiza is located off the east coast of Spain, surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean. While it is famous for its pounding nightlife and summer club scene which attract world-renowned DJs to its shores, the island actually has many other different sides.

Quite rocky and rugged, Ibiza is lined by beautiful bays and beaches; this, coupled with its warm, sunny and dry climate, makes it a great beach holiday destination. The largest city on the island, Ibiza Town boasts a majestic walled old town perched atop of a hill overlooking the sea.

While you can certainly find relaxing rural retreats and sleepy, seaside villages on the island, many people visit Ibiza for its incredible party scene and exhilarating electronic dance sets. In summer, its heaving clubs stay open through the night until dawn, when the sun finally rises over the sea.

Sandals Is Giving Away a Honeymoon Every Day Through July 14

Travel is returning and there's perhaps no group more excited than the recently betrothed.

Like the rest of us, newlyweds too had to forgo traveling in 2020, putting off honeymoons until the pandemic subsided. But now that the dust appears to be settling many are ready and raring to go. But, rather than shelling out big bucks for a getaway, Sandals Resorts wants to help 30 deserving couples get a second shot with its "Honeymoon Do Over" sweepstakes.
Every day from June 15 through July 14, Sandals will randomly surprise one couple with a seven-night, all-inclusive honeymoon. Couples can redeem their honeymoon at any of the 15 beachfront Sandals Resorts in the Caribbean, including Jamaica, Antigua, Grenada, St. Lucia, the Bahamas, and Barbados.

Any adult can nominate either themself and their partner or a person can nominate a couple that they feel is deserving of a dream honeymoon do-over on the sweepstakes' page. All they need to do is write a summary of their love story and upload a photo.

Winners will get to indulge in all the goodies the resorts have to offer, including dining at as many as 16 unique restaurants per resort with cuisine from around the world, drinking at its many bars (we love Latitudes Overwater Bar, Sandals' first overwater bar concept), or taking part in activities like snorkeling, paddle boarding, golfing, and scuba diving.

The Sweepstakes is open to residents of the United States or Canada (excluding the province of Quebec) who are at least 18 years of age. Participants must only nominate a couple who is planning to be engaged, planning to get married, engaged, or married. Winners must also travel within two years, but odds are they are ready to lay on a sandy shore with a fruity cocktail as soon as humanly possible. See all the rules and enter to win here.

Easter Island
Tucked away in the southeastern Pacific, the Polynesian Easter Island is both remote and historically significant. The enormous Moai statues are undeniably the top attraction here, lending an air of history and mystery to this far-away island. Over 800 statues designed like humans with over-sized heads dot the island.

They were created by the Rapa Nui many centuries ago, and each is believed to have taken at least a year to hand-craft.

But there’s more to Easter Island than the Moai statues. There are some excellent beaches, remote caves, ancient petroglyphs, and hiking and cycling routes too! Diving into the island culture with a traditional Rapa Nui dancing show is truly memorable.

7 Amazing Hotels Near Glacier National Park — From Historic Chalets to Grand Lodges
Life is different in northern Montana. Mountains carved by glaciers jut out of the earth in jagged formations, hidden alpine lakes remain relatively untouched, and mountain goats and grizzly bears roam the open landscape. Deep in the Rocky Mountains, a pristine 1,583 square miles of wilderness remains diligently protected while welcoming visitors from all over the world.

This is Glacier National Park, home to the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road, turquoise-blue Cracker Lake, and too many hiking trails to conquer in one trip. Here, the land has remained wild and the views continue to be some of the country's most spectacular.

But everyone, no matter how adventurous, needs a respite from long days packed with hikes and tours — and that's where Glacier National Park's hotels come into play. With options both inside and just outside the park, these historic chalets, grand lodges, and sleek hotels provide travelers with a cozy home base for exploring the great outdoors.

Lake McDonald Lodge
This historic hotel sits within Glacier National Park, right on the southeast shore of — you guessed it — Lake McDonald. The property offers classic hotel rooms alongside hostel-style accommodations for budget-conscious travelers. Those looking to sleep out among the wild can book one of the lodge's freestanding cabins.

Just keep in mind that while Lake McDonald Lodge has many modern conveniences, including an upscale restaurant, the feel is distinctly rustic, remaining true to the property's beginnings in 1913. Due to the lodge's location deep inside the park, it is only open between mid-May and mid-September.

The Best Hotel in Rome Just Debuted New Suites Overlooking Its Stunning Gardens
Hotel de Russie, a Rocco Forte property named the No. 1 stay in Rome according to Travel + Leisure's most recent World's Best Awards, just unveiled new suites overlooking its iconic gardens. The hotel has long been known for its stunning secret jardin with redolent pine trees, orange trees, rose bushes, and other flourishing greenery. The tiered garden was recently revamped by architect Giuseppe Valadier, and its restoration inspired even more verdant changes inside the hotel, namely, the seven new Garden Suites and renovated lobby, both featuring lush, nature-inspired designs.

The hotel is built around the garden, making this hotel one of the few places where guests pine for a suite facing away from the city. The blue Roman sky and the green garden provide a soothing, peaceful atmosphere in the midst of a somewhat hectic city. Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte Hotels' director of design, brought these serene colors inside the hotel during the recent renovation.

"Hotel de Russie's garden — the true heart of the hotel — is where much of the inspiration for the color comes from with lots of greens in varying tones, lighter yellows, and teals to bring the outdoor tranquility of the garden into the interiors of the suites," Polizzi exclusively tells Travel + Leisure.
The garden's first designs, which Polizzi calls "extraordinary," also inspire the suites' decor.

"My inspiration came from the original design by the extraordinary Tomasso Ziffer, the suites' location overlooking Hotel de Russie's peaceful garden, and the city of Rome itself," she says. "Combining these elements was key in order to achieve a balance of traditional classicism and more modern, accented features."

The balance comes from comfortable, plush seating with charming, original cushions by Fornasetti, Toscana armchairs, and eye-catching lamps from Fontana Arte, alongside modern furniture and luxurious fabrics. Of course, these suites have tranquil views of the garden below.

Inwood Hill Park

Perched on the very northern tip of Manhattan sits this stunning slice of New York City green space. Inwood Hill Park is a trip through New York City's past. No, its real past. We're talking prehistory here, with caves, valleys, and ridges that all resulted from glacial shifts over thousands of years.

Much of the park has remained pristine since the island of Manhattan was settled by Europeans in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, it's a haven for hiking and biking along the Hudson River. It's a great spot for friends and families, as well, with playgrounds, dog parks, and areas for barbecuing. Not to mention, it has spectacular views down the river.
