Sydney

Aspen – October 15, 2026 -- The Little Nell, Aspen's only Five-Star, Five-Diamond ski-in/ski-out hotel, has unveiled its Winter 2026-2027 lineup, including a Sydney cocktail bar residency from January 22 to March 30 and the return of celebrity facialist Georgia Louise. It is the hotel's last full season before a renovation begins in April 2027.

The hotel will close longer than first planned

The closure was originally set to end in early winter 2028. It will now run through early summer 2028 so the work can be completed in full. This winter's programming is built around the hotel's traditions from more than three decades.

Miami – September 18, 2026 -- Oceania Cruises has opened sales for 12 individual segments of its new ship Oceania Aurelia's inaugural 180-day Around the World voyage, letting travelers book portions of the trip ranging from 10 to 19 days instead of committing to the full journey.

The complete voyage departs Miami in January 2028 and touches six continents, with overnight port stays in Papeete, Bora Bora, Sydney, Bali, Tokyo, Bangkok and Mumbai. Nearly 100 UNESCO World Heritage sites fall within reach across the itinerary, alongside thousands of small-group shore excursions.
