Five signature itineraries anchor the new collection

The 8-day Premium Glacier Express tour crosses the Swiss Alps in a privately chartered Excellence Class car, with guaranteed window seats, welcome Champagne and a five-course wine-paired menu.

CLAYTON, N.Y. -- September 01, 2026 -- Evan Kung, a Canadian pro fighting to keep his roster spot on the Bassmaster Elite Series, won the 2026 Lowrance Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River on Aug. 30 with a four-day total of 109 pounds, 9 ounces. The catch set a new Bassmaster record for the heaviest winning weight made up entirely of smallmouth bass. The win also locked in Kung's berth at the 2027 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour, set for next March.

Kung's total overtook the previous mark of 105 pounds, set by Patrick Walters at the same river in 2023, and made him a first-time member of the Bassmaster Century Club. "This is by far my biggest win," Kung said. "It was a tough year for me, so it was great to end it like this. I couldn't think of a better ending."

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – As cannabis edibles become more popular across Canada, new research from the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) is sending a clear message to drivers in BC: if you’re consuming edibles, you need to plan a safe ride home. A fresh two-part study shows that the impact of THC on driving is stronger and lasts longer than many people realize, especially several hours after eating an edible.

Edibles can impair driving for hours – not just a quick buzz

The CAA/BCAA research combines public opinion data with simulator-based testing carried out by the University of Saskatchewan. In the simulator, drivers who consumed cannabis edibles showed compromised reaction time, poorer lane discipline and weaker speed control – all critical skills for staying safe behind the wheel.
