Live life to the fullest, and chase experiences that you have always wanted to indulge in. Presenting part two  of our must-do activities to put on your bucket list!

Cruise through Volcanic Islands
Galápagos Islands
Experience the wonders of nature in all its glory without compromising on sustainability or luxury. Built specifically to tour the Galápagos Islands on sea, the Celebrity Flora, from Celebrity Cruises, is the first ship of its kind that incorporates environment-friendly technologies such as a dynamic positioning system allows the mega-yacht to remain on station without dropping anchors, protecting the seabed—and the solar panels supplement electricity, reducing emissions. This mega-luxury yacht has been designed to keep the spotlight trained on the destination around you. With certified naturalists from the Galápagos National Park  on board to guide the journey, you can marvel and learn about some of the magnificent flora and fauna that abounds on these volcanic islands. Inspired by the islands and built with natural materials, the ship merges seamlessly with the surroundings, giving you a feeling of total immersion.


Walk the Gladiator Paths
Colosseum Underground, Rome, Italy
The Colosseum Underground, where many a gladiator prepared for the fight of his life, is now open for you to marvel at. After 1,941 years, thanks to a 10-year renovation project funded by Tod’s, you can now walk the path where once only the gladiators, animal handlers, salves walked. Wooden walkways allow you to navigate corridors, niches, and reimagine the behind-the-scenes moments of fight day. You can even spot the remains of the slave-manned elevators that raised the gladiators and beasts to the arena floor.
