[Music]

for me I'm partial to holidays that

don't require much effort you know

luxury resort Style

resorts are great because they have

everything you need close by restaurants

bars pools and activities well what if I

were to tell you there is a resort that

floats

[Music]

check this out celebrity Cruisers are

the only award-winning Resort at Sea

with a star rating from the prestigious

Forbes travel guide

which means they are right up there with

some of the world's most luxury hotels

[Music]

celebrities Edge series ships have a

unique outward facing design to give

guests more of a connection with the Sea

and the views are breathtaking

there are so many accommodation choices

ranging from State rooms with infinite

Verandas to two-story villas with plunge

pools

and then there's a thing that'll really

blow your mind

the magic carpet

a spectacular outdoor dining and Lounge

venue that hovers out over the water and

travels up the side of the ship

[Music]

there are up to 32 food and beverage

experiences in total and all of them are

crafted by Michelin star chef

and when the eating and drinking is done

then there are a whole bunch of holistic

experiences you can do because we all

need a little self-care

[Music]

there's a fitness center a spa a barber

and heaps of places to relax and unwind

[Applause]

the celebrity Edge will be making its

way to Australia this December but where

does this floating Resort go you may ask

well there are 250 itineraries ranging

from the Caribbean and Europe to Bali

and New Zealand speak to your travel

advisor to book the best one for you

[Music]

I don't know about you but I'm feeling a

little bit chilly so let's get out of

here and head north to the beautiful

whitsundays

welcome to the whitsundays you could

just imagine yourself here out on the

water with not a care in the world

taking it all in

today we're on a cruise with a

difference there are no tourists it's

just you and your crew and if you choose

you can be the skipper

this would have to be the easiest way to

sail around the whitsundays bare boating

lets you escape into the big blue at

your own pace and itinerary

Tim what's Bear boating it's not boating

in the nude is it no yeah

when you say it it depends I mean you're

out here on your you're out here on your

own so if you do want to sail around

nude gold but yeah basically coming out

chartering a vessel for yourself with

you and a few friends and skippering

yourself so you're choosing where you

want to go and what you want to see

around the islands it's not just a day

trip is it no that's it I mean normally

our average Charter is about seven days

if anything that's not enough time for

the amount of stuff to see the beautiful

walking tracks you've got one of the top

10 beaches in the world Whitehaven Beach

which is just incredible spending the

night under the stars with you with your

mates it just doesn't get better

generally you're fine before you book a

holiday you'll have a lot more friends

than you realize because they all want

to come with you

this boat isn't gonna say itself so it's

all hands on deck as Captain Tim gets me

up to speed so what I'll get you to do

is just untie this small rope here and

then yeah we're good to pull the sail up

yeah that's perfect we're good to go

Tim is giving us a guided tour of the

local hot spots and our first location

is Langford Island a local gym but first

I've got to Anchor us up

laughs

this is living

Langford island is one of the most

secluded spots in the whitsundays which

means you don't have to fight the crowds

for a slice of heaven and when you reach

the top this is just giving us a

beautiful view of Langford spit we've

got hook Island over here so that's the

second largest island in the group

barley high this little one here and

then just over there is Hayman Island

and if you look over there of course

there's a boat

the snorkeling around here

is great isn't it yeah exactly it's

fantastic place to go snorkeling

[Music]

the fringing reefs of Langford Island

are small but if you're lucky you'll

spot Plenty of Fish or the odd turtle

foreign

magic your own stretch of sand without a

stranger in sight

after an active morning lunch beckons

each of go bear boating's vessels are

fully equipped with all the Necessities

a fully equipped Galley gas stove oven

and barbecue wow but if cooking is the

last thing you want to do with Sunday

Provisions can cater a banquet fit for a

king queen or Captain it doesn't get

much better than this is it no

the best thing about bear boating is

that you don't need a license to take it

up experience helps but if you're new to

the nautical World fear not they'll give

you a half day lesson and once you're

confident they'll leave you to your own

devices weather should be good for the

next couple of days and we'll see you

soon okay enjoy

thanks Tim

hi well so my name

[Music]

there's always something exciting and

wondrous about the land of the long

white cloud Tegan Nash is in Queenstown

to show us a bit of fun and Adventure

Kiara welcome to New Zealand

[Music]

land of the long white cloud and this is

Queenstown

[Music]

the answer is a 100 year old Steamboat

that takes you over to Walter Peak we

did the sunset afternoon session which

means we got a buffet dinner when we

arrived

17 years I've been Skipper on the boat

here but so for a while we've done this

took a few times what do you love most

about it and the people that do it if

you come over in the day you get to meet

all the farm animals too

hello then it's time for food wow

we are at Oxbow and we're about to do

some super fun activities we've got a

full speed of jet Sprint boat a jet

Sprint boat so it goes zero to 100

kilometers in about two and a half

seconds

[Music]

experience all the Thrills and action in

one spot from water to the mud this is

the ultimate off-road experience where

you'll dip Spin and get Pretty Dirty

[Music]

let's clean up a little from Wild

Adventures to wineries

this is Adams Field Winery where we

indulged in the dega station we had food

that came out that looked like moss

there was smoke and other lavish dishes

a fun way to unwind after an adrenaline

filled morning oh wow

now that we're fueled up I think it's

time for a little more action you can't

visit Queenstown and not go up the

gondola at Skyline we're about to go

luji hence the helmet

look at the view

beautiful

oh yeah

oh

my God and that's how it's done can you

tell me about the zipline we're about to

do

um so we're 450 meters above Queenstown

and

we're gonna get amazing views of the

lake the remarkables and we've got the

secret zipline in the world in the world

and the world I'm excited

let's keep to the theme of flying the

best way in my opinion to see Queenstown

and to get down the bottom is to

paraglide

whoa I think we're running off here

which is pretty cool

[Music]

Skyline offers all the activities and

once you're done the dairy private hotel

is a stone's throw away with unique

rooms drinks and snacks on hand and

views of Queenstown like this it is the

perfect spot to unwind and stay when you

visit Queenstown

the day another adventure we're going

rafting with the Queenstown rafting I've

heard it's pretty wild the drive down in

the bus is pretty spectacular and also

kind of frightening but they have

skilled bus drivers that take you pretty

close to the edge Gear Up Get briefed

and let's hit the water start paddling

stop filming

this is your sign to get out there and

explore Queenstown it certainly does not

disappoint

so you've booked a holiday to New

Zealand and you've decided to do a bit

of walking or is the kiwis call it

tramping here's some do's and don'ts of

what to wear

[Music]

don't wear cotton I know we've all been

child that is breathable but it holds a

lot of moisture so you'll get the chills

when it's wet and you'll feel pretty

sweaty when you get in here do wear

polyester nylon or Merino wool these

Fabrics Wick sweat off the skin and dry

super fast

pans as Trails can have you know

branches things nature whatever those

yoga leggings they tear

make a rain jacket with you you know one

that folds up into almost nothing make

sure that it is breathable and

waterproof you don't want to feel like

you're wearing a plastic bag

[Music]

and finally the key to being comfortable

on any walk or hike is layering

so the important thing about layering is

to keep you comfortable warm and dry now

your first layer wants to be well fitted

against the skin not too loose you want

it to trap heat efficiently your next

layer is going to be your mid layer

which is going to provide you extra

layers of insulation and that can be a

fleece jumper or a slightly heavier

weight Merino wool garment your third

layer could be a down jacket or a layer

of synthetic insulation and that's going

to trap heat very efficiently and keep

you warm in much colder conditions and

your final or fourth layer will be your

rain coat now that's going to keep you

dry and stop the wind getting through

gear to wear what about the shoes

no 10 check 7 plus

hi I'm so I'm off to the markets to do a

food tour my

[Music]

Adelaide Central Market has been around

for 153 years with 70 Traders it's one

of the largest markets in the southern

hemisphere

about that I'm just in for the food

and one way to sample a lot of food well

it's to go on a food tour

[Music]

the Central Market Discovery Store is a

one and a half hour walk around one of

the greatest markets in Australia the

food the produce the people it's the

center of the culinary universe

all right Nick tell us what's a day in

the life of you wake up early hours in

the morning around 1 2 o'clock in the

morning a good good 10 to all of our

shift so you started this morning at 2

A.M yeah yeah and go watch rental about

four four this afternoon wow that is a

lifestyle you also get to meet the stall

holders hear their stories and there are

tastings you gotta love tasting so what

is this cheese here so this cheese is my

home made in Normandy so what you try is

really to tell the censored place the

cows the Apple that are falling next to

it it's just so beautiful the creamery

is very delicious the Central Market has

evolved over 150 years of ethnic groups

coming to the market bringing their

culinary background their their mum and

Dad's recipes their fruit and their

vegetables out of their Gardens and so

all those people they have a history

something wild is an indigenous owned

food store we Harvest product under

permits but we also sell Wild Game Meats

so things like kangaroo venison wild

boar camel crocodile we work alongside a

lot of communities in remote areas

putting their product on shelves and in

people's kitchens here we've got

fingerline squeeze it and the little

pearls inside are like caviar oh okay so

as you eat it they kind of pop in your

mouth

oh oh okay yeah I do something while has

been here for about seven years now

since Daniel and his family bought the

company being indigenous from the

Northern Territory they were able to

gain access to a lot more product

I started telling those stories and

those stories go back Generations I

arrived here 25 years ago and fell in

love in immediately except for the the

cheese offers so being born in nomadia

went straight back home and started to

put together my favorite cheese and one

thing let's to the next and now I just

import 10 ton of twos a year and so I'm

a cheese tragic and I am just so

fortunate to be able to travel every day

through the cheese

[Music]

the Central Market is open five days a

week Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Saturday so we get Sundays off so we run

our tours mainly in the mornings and a

tour will run for one and a half hours

picked out the gems of the market to

show you so you get the same experience

that Adelaide people have every day with

kangaroo

tasty gin of course this is going to be

stop on the tour kangar Island

Distillery is one of the first gin

distillers in Australia one of the first

gens that I ever distilled was the wild
