Polar travel signals a shift in premium tourism

Breaking Travel News - Sep 26, 2026

Polar expedition travel is highlighting a broader shift in premium tourism, as travellers increasingly seek access, expertise and deeper experiences rather than scale, according to Sam Seward, President of Quark Expeditions, in the latest episode of the Travel Trends Podcast. Speaking to Travel Trends host Dan Christian, Seward describes a market where both booking behaviour and traveller expectations are changing – from earlier bookings for Antarctica to growing demand for specialist experiences such as photography, kayaking and citizen science.

How one woman is rewriting kabuki’s ‘all-male’ narrative in Japan

Out of the backstage shadows, an onnagata – the traditional female role in the Japanese traditional theatre art of kabuki – steals into the light. Her hair is swept high into a voluminous bun, framing a face veiled in a thin layer of porcelain-white powder. Touches of cherry blossom flush across her eyelids and lips. She glides across the starkly lit stage so weightlessly that her steps leave silence behind. With precision, she turns, twirls and looks into the distance, face perfectly...

When centuries of Chinese knowledge were destroyed by a warlord who burned the capital

Before I went to Warsaw, I knew little of the city beyond the fact that it was Poland’s capital. I had not realised that much of present-day Warsaw, including its beautiful historic centre, was rebuilt after World War II. Warsaw’s wartime destruction was not merely the consequence of battle, but a deliberate campaign by its Nazi German occupiers to erase much of the city. In August 1944, the Warsaw Uprising – a Polish armed revolt by the city’s underground resistance against German occupation –...

From punk to Gothic: how Singapore’s Ask & Embla built a global jewellery brand

You’d likely never guess that a jewellery brand that leans into everything from punk rock aesthetics to Gothic art, and is worn by everyone from Teyana Taylor to Chappell Roan, is actually from Singapore. That brand is Ask & Embla, the brainchild of life and business partners Ryan Gomes and Olivia Eleazar, who started out in 2013 selling a curated edit of body jewellery pieces procured from other suppliers, before transitioning to creating her own designs. “I was 19 years old, listening to a lot...

Anantara Siam Bangkok debuts a fresh look and Jim Thompson Suite

In 2015, Anantara Hotels & Resorts turned a building formerly occupied by the Four Seasons Bangkok into Anantara Siam Bangkok. Located in the city’s Ratchaprasong district, a stone’s throw from the famous Erawan Shrine, the structure – which dates back to 1983 and was designed by American architect George “Pete” Wimberly – has a long history housing luxury hotels, including the Peninsula in its first incarnation and later the Regent. More than 10 years after the most recent rebranding, Anantara...

What I learned from 230km ultra-marathon race in Kenya over 5 exhausting days

Halfway up a long hill in the Kenyan wilderness, a photographer pointed towards the bush. Just 20 metres (66 feet) away, a hyena was running through the undergrowth, chasing its prey. It was exhilarating – and a little terrifying. I was taking part in Beyond the Ultimate’s For Rangers Ultra, a five-day, 230km (143-mile) race through five Kenyan wildlife conservancies, where encounters like this were all part of the unique experience. Armed rangers were stationed around 300 metres apart along the...
