Trends: Escape from the sardine can
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In a reaction to sardine-like economy travel, consumers are embracing slower forms of travel.
At sea, cruise firm Butterfield & Robinson (www. butterfield.com) is responding to a surge in interest with small, stylish boats capable of holding 30 passengers; though, at up to £500 a day, it's not cheap.
Elsewhere, liner company Silversea (www.silversea.com) is hooking up with fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo and men's Vogue to offer a cruise for the sartorially obsessed that includes access to the Ferragamo family home. And 21st Century Airships ( www.21stcenturyairships.com) is developing a luxury airship that will initially fly on sightseeing journeys to sites such as the Grand Canyon, but will eventually offer 18-hour flights across the US.
