The Folo by Travel Weekly
How cruising's private destinations are evolving -- A Summer Series episode
12 Aug 2024
On this episode we’re delving into one of the more unique aspects of the cruise experience, and that’s the part that takes place on land. We’re talking, of course, about private islands and private destinations: areas on land that are managed by the cruise line and provide a dedicated area and special amenities to cruise passengers. Senior cruise editor Andrea Zelinski and Cruise Planners advisor Mike Matthews talk with host Rebecca Tobin about the appeal of these places, the explosion of upgrades and expansions and why this is taking place. This episode is the finale to our annual Summer Series, where we feature some of our favorite recent Folo by Travel Weekly discussions. This episode was recorded May 23 and has been edited for length and clarity. New episodes begin next week!
