BTN Exclusive Q&A: Laurie Myers, Founder and Global Strategist, Global Resilience Network

Luxury hotels hit the high seas with Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons and Aman leading the way

There are plenty of ways to travel in luxury by sea. A cruise liner cares for every practical detail, but its scale means strict schedules, crowds and little room for unique experiences. A private yacht charter, by contrast, can feel thrillingly free and discreet, but usually comes with eye-watering costs, logistical difficulties and a relative lack of fancy facilities like spa treatments and on-board entertainment.
