Hello, from Jamaica

Sandals Montego Bay, Jamaica beach view

As you’re opening this email, I’m writing to you straight from Jamaica — my third trip here this year!

Why small ships are big news

When most people think of cruising, they picture massive ships with thousands of passengers, long buffet lines, and waiting in crowds just to get off the ship.

Sandals should be on your radar

One of the questions I get asked often is: “What’s so special about Sandals Resorts?” My answer: Sandals isn’t just a vacation—it’s an experience.

I’ll be honest, when I first saw how many people were starting to use AI for planning trips, even I thought… “Uh oh, what does this mean for travel advisors like me?”

You may have already noticed something new … Adriana King Travel is now King Luxe Travel! Don’t worry, it’s still me!

Ocean and river cruises

When most people think of cruising, they picture big ocean ships sailing from country to country. But river cruising is a whole different experience.

From the heart

I take a lot of pride in showing up for my clients and handling everything with integrity.

What’s hot in travel for 2026

In the travel industry, us advisors are always looking ahead—basing predictions on our own bookings and what we hear within the industry.

Bucket list travel

What’s that one place you’ve always dreamed of visiting? The one that gives you butterflies every time you see a photo of it online or on a travel show?
