Travelling in style
by ArabianBusiness.com staff writer on Thursday, 12 February 2009
The product offers power-assisted features like the adjustable ‘anti-gravity' handle that ensures 85% of the luggage weight is always balanced over its wheels.
Not only does this mean lugging heavy cases around can become a thing of the past, but the trend-setting crowd will also note that it looks pretty cool as well.

Relaxing rail
It's not always about getting there fast when it comes to travel. Luxury rail packages offer sedate comfort often with stunning countryside views that simply aren't possible to enjoy in the same way with any other option.
Clients can take in as much or as little of the countryside as they fancy, or simply bask in their luxurious private compartments attended by cabin stewards throughout the journey.
Orient Express Hotels Trains and Cruises offers a seven-night ‘Grand European Journey' package on the Venice-Simplon Orient Express that travels through five countries and five major cities, including stops at Krakow and Warsaw.

Cool cruising
The best thing about cruises is that the journey itself is half of the holiday and something to be savoured.
Clients can lounge around on deck or take advantage of the ship's leisure and entertainment facilities before they even arrive at any of the ship's eventual destinations.
Cruises also offer a range of itineraries of varying length and activities so there is always something to accommodate any client's preferences - from the upwardly mobile to the outwardly slothful.
The luxury Yasawa Princess Cruise ship is a case in point, offering seven- or 14-day packages trawling around the Maldives.
The ship is replete with a host of luxury facilities like top-end cabins with en-suite showers and snorkeling and fishing options to entertain guests before the ship even pulls into any of the stunning desert islands for them to explore.

Its just yacht you need
Continuing with the nautical theme, a stylish travel option that combines the joys of the open sea offered by luxury cruises but with a bit more pace for the adrenalin junkies is the 37-metre motor yacht Ermis2.
With outer engines driven by Rolls-Royce 56SII waterjets, the Ermis² is capable of speeds in excess of 55 knots and has a long range of roughly 2300 miles. The Ermis2 comprises a saloon, dining area, galley and a large bridge with suspension chairs from which guests can survey the rapidly passing scene in indulgently luxurious comfort.
