Now, Mumm has partnered with South African explorer Mike Horn who will circumnavigate the world over four years to raise awareness about environmental protection. Dubbed the Pangaea Expedition, each of the seven adventures is celebrated with a gourmet dinner prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, and, of course Mumm Cordon Rouge. In July Horn travelled to Greenland and feasted on truffles and caviar prepared by Sylvestre Wahid. Next up, Antarctica, retracing Captain Charcot’s voyage. Raise a glass to adventure. Jules Verne advised using a variety of trains, steamboats and of course, the hot air balloon to traverse the vast reaches of earth. Today, there is another, simpler, solution courtesy of Princess Cruise Line – a world cruise. Setting sail aboard the Tahitian Princess and Royal Princess January 14 and 20 2009 respectively, each cruise travels to more than 40 destinations on six continents. Think 2009 is too soon? Princess also offers a world cruise set to depart January 27 2010 on Pacific Princess with new ports of call like Topolobampo, Mexico, Halong Bay, Vietnam and Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. Just like Phileas Fogg’s itinerary you can choose shorter segments ranging from 18 to 89 days. “These new segments offer some great travel options for our passengers who have less available time, but who would still like a longer exotic adventure,” says Jan Swartz, Princess’ senior vice president of customer service and sales. Now all you need is a travelling partner like Passepartout. Approximately $23 755 to $50 680 (USD). www.princess.com C O u N TI N G S H E E p Airline pillows are some of the worst culprits for harbouring bacteria and who knows what else. To help you, Select Comfort has introduced a Silver Travel Pillow, made of 5 per cent pure silver fibers, it maintains a comfortable sleeping temperature in both warm and cool weather. With antimicrobial protection and moisture wicking properties the quilted silver pillow protector can be unzipped and placed over another pillow at your destination. Sweet dreams indeed - those sheep may be out of work.
