Luxury just got an upgrade on four wheels. Premium chauffeur service Blacklane has officially added Rolls-Royce to its fleet, allowing travelers to book rides in the iconic Ghost Series II as part of its newly launched “Platinum Class.” The ultra-premium offering is currently exclusive to Dubai, where the company is expanding its footprint across the Middle East.

Each ride promises a high-end experience, complete with a two-tone black and white Rolls-Royce and a professional chauffeur trained to handle some of the world’s most prestigious vehicles. The vehicles will be available to book for airport transfers as well as for “immediate hailing” from select locations.

Earlier this year, Blacklane introduced its Business Class tier in Dubai, which is an entry-level option for those seeking reliable, premium transport. In March, the company also added a fleet of all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQEs to its lineup, enhancing its popular First Class service, which has been operating in the UAE since 2023.

In the United States, Blacklane offers a variety of upscale vehicles across service tiers. First Class bookings may include a Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, or similar models, while Business Class rides typically feature vehicles like the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, or Cadillac XTS.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced the cancellation of 41 Caribbean sailings scheduled for the 2026-2027 winter season due to a significant fleet redeployment. The cancellations include all 21 voyages aboard the Norwegian Breakaway, which were originally set to depart from San Juan, Puerto Rico, between November 8, 2026, and March 28, 2027. In addition, all 20 scheduled sailings on the Norwegian Prima, planned to operate out of New Orleans from November 15, 2026, to March 28, 2027, have also been canceled.

According to a letter sent to guests and travel partners on Monday, this move is part of a strategic reshuffling intended to better match ship homeports with passenger demand and route capacity. As part of the redeployment, the Breakaway will relocate from San Juan to New Orleans to focus on Western Caribbean itineraries. Meanwhile, the Prima will reposition from New Orleans to San Juan to serve the Southern Caribbean routes.

The image of a cigarette-smoking Parisian strolling along the Seine is quickly becoming more of a memory than a reality. France has just rolled out a sweeping new smoking ban that makes lighting up in many public outdoor spaces, including popular tourist spots like the Eiffel Tower, beaches, parks, and bus stops, illegal.

The new rules, which went into effect this week, are part of a nationwide effort to reduce smoking, especially in areas where children are present. France’s health ministry says tobacco must disappear from places where kids play and gather, a sentiment that most French parents, and the majority of the public, support.
