A5. Cruise Planners changed the travel world with our home-based model, recruiting & training travel agents who work remotely! #TWchats


A7: We highlighted few such products in our 50th Anniversary issue's cover story. Some of our faves: The rise of the "megaship," the introduction of business class and the first boutique hotel. @RoyalCaribbean #TWChats https://t.co/NCTWOIWokL


A7: @twtravelnews #Travel has only become more hands-on and immersive. From Explorations Central to our @foodandwine EXCursions, HAL strives to connect guests to the destinations they're visiting in order to make their experience authentic, engaging and meaningful. #TWChats


A7. We’ve seen it all, from A&K's Around the World by Supersonic Concorde to the evolution of safaris, which used to last 30+ days. #TWChats


A7: #RiverCruising became a tourism product in 1992 with the completion of the #MainDanubeCanal. Since then, cruising has transformed from ocean liners transporting guests to countries, into floating hotels taking guests through countries. #TWchats

A7: @TWtravelnews The emphasis on environmentally-friendly and sustainable travel has a been an incredibly positive and welcomed addition in the travel industry. With our EcoCostaTours! guests can embark on in-depth adventures with a focus on the environment: #TWchats


A7: @twtravelnews, for #cruising dining has greatly evolved over the past several years. Cuisine has become a global experience, with ships now featuring dozens of options — from casual, poolside eateries to elegant outlets. #TWChats


A7: The cruising experience has drastically evolved! Instead of the stereotypical all-you-can-eat buffet, cruises like @crystalcruises are trying to bring Michelin-like dining to the seas #twchats


replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7: Hotel rooms and suites have changed drastically. For example, a lot of times people would hope for an ocean view room. Now you can visit properties like the @GVRivieraMaya and literally have your own personal plunge pool. #tzelltravels #twchats https://t.co/kqklbgfrNj


A7: Our Special Projects Editor Daniel Scheffler wrote an essay about a childhood flight on the Concorde, and how elegant the boarding process used to be. #TWchats https://t.co/fru0RIZNgD


A7: Robbi Hamida: "Cruise ships experienced the most change for sure. We went from holding 600 ppl to 6,000 along with a park, carnival, and a waterslide! Not to mention more food options!" #Twchats #BiggerandBetter #MoreFood @RoyalCaribbean


A7. It’s fascinating to see how travel has changed in places like China. People forget what a challenge travel there used to be. @geoffreykent was one of the 1st Westerners to visit when China opened. He had to stay in army barracks – there simply were no hotels. #TWChats


A7: #TWchats Our expanding Cruise portfolio has been an exciting change for us! 🛳️

A7. The ability to cruise to the ends of the earth in complete luxury is game-changing. In '99 @Geoffrey_Kent explored the North Pole on a noisy Russian icebreaker, "It was a nightmare." #TWchats


A6: We love celebrating special occasions with our guests, especially those with an anniversary during their stay! We bring both the glamour and romance with a sweet surprise, toasting to another wonderful vacation! #TWChats


replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews A7: Bold isn’t built in a day. That’s why 50 years later, we are still pushing the limits — with the world’s biggest cruise ship, the tallest waterslide at sea, and our one-of-a-kind private island, #PerfectDayatCocoCay. #TWchats


Sort of a digression, but I always felt #queenmary2 was a real game-changer in cruise. It really captivated so many people! And here's a throwback ad from @cunardline ("getting there is half the fun" -- I think this is true of any travel ) #TWchats
