Interesting choice at such a juncture in the tourism industry...it is difficult enough booking privately owned liveaboards as it is at the best of times. To do it right now (although it was probably coming for a few months/year or so) is a very, very bold move.
Well , Shane LEWIS , formerly of AMANs in Indonesia & culinary brain has launched
FLAGSHIP LUXURY EXPEDITIONS !
https://www.flagshipluxuryexpeditions.com ,
https://www.flagshipluxuryexpeditions.com/team/ .
Various private jets and yachts are being used including
AMANDIRA for exploring the Indonesian archipelago , Komodo National Park ) , Raja Ampat , Spice Islands and Islands beyond including Antarctica . Sounds just what we need after being somewhat “ hemmed in “ , landlocked & such .
For some AMANs GMs news , pleased to know that Nicolas I has finally been allowed to get to Thailand , moving from Jena to Puri .
And Astrid K has returned to Jena from Sara .
Cannot wait to go to all , once borders reopen .. now to figure out where to catch Shane too - possibly mid Atlantic at this rate or lack there of ..
