The Suite Sojourn Expands Luxury Cruise Planning to Aman, Four Seasons and Orient Express Yachts, Alongside Its Preferred Hotel Partnerships

Nov 5, 2026

New York, NY, November 5, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Boutique luxury travel advisory adds yacht and expedition cruising to the invitation-only hotel programs it already books, and publishes the 2026 Black Friday Luxury Travel guide

The Suite Sojourn, a boutique luxury travel advisory, has expanded its cruise planning to the new generation of hotel-brand yachts, including Aman’s Amangati, Four Seasons Yachts, Orient Express Corinthian and The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection, alongside Explora Journeys, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Silversea and expedition voyages with specialist operators such as Quark Expeditions. The expansion sits beside the advisory’s established work in luxury hotels, private villas, safaris and multigenerational family travel, so clients can plan a voyage and the stays around it with one advisor.

Hotel brands at sea, booked with the same partner access

Several of the world’s most recognised hotel brands now operate yachts that run as five-star hotels on the move. Aman’s first yacht, Amangati, carries 94 guests in 47 suites with a dedicated suite host for every guest. Four Seasons I, the brand’s first yacht, carries up to 222 guests in 95 suites with a staff-to-guest ratio close to one to one. Orient Express Corinthian, billed as the world’s largest sailing yacht, carries 110 guests in 54 suites. The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection operates three yachts with most of the experience included in the fare.

The Suite Sojourn matches the vessel to how a client travels, holds suites early on yachts with limited inventory, and adds nights at the brand’s resorts before or after the sailing. Its guide to luxury yacht cruises compares the four brands for travelers deciding between them.

Invitation-only hotel programs, now paired with cruising

The advisory’s hotel work runs through invitation-only partner programs that give clients VIP recognition and added benefits at the standard best available rate. As a Rosewood Elite advisor, The Suite Sojourn enhances stays at Rosewood Hotels and Resorts worldwide with tailored privileges at no added cost. As a Four Seasons Preferred Partner, it coordinates reservations directly with on-property leadership across Four Seasons hotels, resorts, residences and Four Seasons Yachts, with first access to new voyages, onboard credits that vary by suite category and voyage length, and partner-only access to suites and upgrades.

The same approach extends to cruise partners, where clients receive benefits such as exclusive shore excursions, dedicated onboard hosts and priority treatment, in addition to the advisory’s planning and support.

“Every trip we plan starts with the traveler, not the destination. Our goal is to take care of the details so our clients can simply enjoy the journey,” said Urvshi Marwah, CEO and Founder of The Suite Sojourn.

An annual guide to the season’s offers

Each November, luxury hotel and cruise brands release their Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers, and The Suite Sojourn collects them in its guide to Black Friday luxury travel offers. The current edition includes seasonal fares from Explora Journeys and offers from Rosewood, Hyatt Privé, Rocco Forte and One&Only, several of them available to preferred advisors before they open to the public. Because some brand offers cannot be published under corporate rules, the advisory maintains a fuller list for clients who ask. All offers are subject to availability, blackout dates and each brand’s terms.

Bespoke travel planning built around each client

Beyond seasonal offers, The Suite Sojourn plans bespoke journeys for executives, entrepreneurs, couples, families and family offices, from African safaris and private-island escapes to honeymoons and multigenerational holidays. For high-net-worth families, family offices and their executive teams, it coordinates private jet and yacht charters, sporting events, milestone celebrations and long-term travel planning. Every journey is shaped around the client’s preferences, with a focus on personalization, discretion and the value of time.

Travelers can begin planning a voyage or a stay by contacting The Suite Sojourn through their website.

WSL, PSC team up to develop next generation of Filipino surfers

SIARGAO, Philippines — The World Surf League (WSL) wants to make sure Filipino surfers get more than just the opportunity to compete against the world's best, with its partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) expected to help push the sport's development in the country. WSL president Andrew Stark said bringing the Championship Tour to Cloud 9 was also an opportunity to expose young Filipino surfers to the international competition and give local talents a closer look at what it takes to compete at the highest level. The league worked with the PSC, headed by Chairman Patrick "Pato" Gregorio, to bring the Philippines Pro to Siargao, bringing the Championship Tour to Philippine shores for the first time. Stark welcomed the support extended by the government sports agency and said the league was pleased with the reception it received from the local community. "It's incredible. It's a beautiful place and, you know, we feel very welcome here. We've got a fantastic partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission," Stark said. The WSL also brought local youngsters into the event through its Rising Tides program, where children had the chance to surf with professional athletes, meet the competitors and learn from experienced surfers. It also worked with the Siargao Island Surfing Association on the board caddy program, giving junior surfers a chance to assist competitors with their boards and experience the competition up close. "We really want to make sure we're giving back to the kids," Stark said. Stark was also impressed with the showing of Filipino wildcards John Mark "Marama" Tokong, Jayuard Alciso, Noah Arkfeld and Mara Lopez who faced an international field packed with world champions and established Championship Tour campaigners. He particularly praised Tokong, whose familiarity with Cloud 9 and ability in the water made him a tough competitor even for the visiting stars. "Marama particularly, he is incredible out here. I mean, all the world tour surfers, the world champions, they were scared of him. Like, wow, this guy is unbelievable. He's very talented," Stark said. While both Filipino bets eventually saw their campaigns end, Stark said their participation gave them valuable exposure. Their appearances in the Championship Tour were carried to an international audience through the WSL's broadcasts and digital platforms. "For those Filipino wildcards, it's life-changing for them. They've now been broadcast to the world and their social media followings will go through the roof and they're all over the mainstream media globally," Stark said. Stark believes the exposure could help Tokong, Alciso, Arkfeld and Lopez attract more attention, while also inspiring other Filipino surfers to work toward competing internationally. The Philippines Pro has also provided a boost to Siargao's tourism campaign. Athletes competing in the event have been sharing their experiences on the island through social media, giving their followers a glimpse of Cloud 9, its resorts, restaurants and other local attractions. The WSL said the Championship Tour surfers have a combined social media following of more than 50 million, giving Siargao and the Philippines added exposure to audiences around the world. Stark also revealed that the league is looking at ways to expand its presence in the country, including the possibility of establishing a regional base in the Philippines to support its activities across Southeast Asia. The WSL has already confirmed another edition of the Philippines Pro at Cloud 9 in 2027. "We've confirmed the event for 2027, so we're really excited that Cloud 9, Siargao, Philippines will be back again next year," Stark said. The return will give Filipino surfers another chance to measure themselves against international competition, while local youngsters will have more opportunities to take part in development activities organized alongside the event.

SportsPlus Foundation champions inclusive sports through partnership with Special Olympics Pilipinas

MANILA, Philippines — Every athlete deserves the opportunity to train, compete, and pursue their dreams. But for athletes with disabilities, access to appropriate sports equipment and training resources can make a meaningful difference in their journey. Recognizing the importance of inclusive sports, SportsPlus Foundation, the social development arm of SportsPlus PH, has partnered with Special Olympics Pilipinas to help address the equipment needs of athletes with disabilities. Special Olympics Pilipinas is part of the global Special Olympics movement, which uses the power of sports to promote inclusion and create opportunities for people with disabilities to develop their skills, build confidence, and experience the benefits of participation in sports. Through this partnership, SportsPlus Foundation provided equipment for various sports such as basketball, football, and badminton, among others, that meets athletes’ actual training and competition requirements on October 22 in Sta. Elena, Marikina. By coordinating closely with Special Olympics Pilipinas, the initiative ensures the support is appropriate, relevant, and aligned with the intended beneficiaries’ needs. For SportsPlus Foundation, supporting athletes with disabilities is part of a broader commitment to building communities where opportunities are more accessible, and every individual can participate and thrive. “It is our privilege to turn over this equipment to Special Olympics Pilipinas as part of SportsPlus Foundation’s efforts to promote inclusive sports and expand opportunities for Filipino athletes of all abilities,” said SportsPlus Head of Brand Marketing Paul Macalindong. “SportsPlus believes that sports should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or background. Through this initiative, we hope to help athletes access the equipment and training support they need to develop their skills, build confidence, and pursue their full potential.” Special Olympics Pilipinas, meanwhile, highlighted the collaboration’s role in advancing inclusive community development. “We are a non-government organization, and our funding comes from grants, including from SportsPlus, which is huge,” said Special Olympics Pilipinas Sports Manager Zoren Alfonso. “We are grateful and thankful to SportsPlus Foundation because this donation was not just sports equipment, but a path for athletes to improve in their sport. This will help them improve and experience what it feels like to have quality sports equipment that helps develop their skills.” Through partnerships like this, SportsPlus Foundation hopes to help create a more inclusive sporting environment where athletes are supported not only in training, but also in pursuing their goals.
