NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Today, private aviation firm SkyShare announced its inclusion on the 2024 Inc. 5000, the publication’s annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking, which has spotlighted numerous household-name companies including Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia, provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

This marks SkyShare’s fourth consecutive year on the Inc. 5000, an achievement indicative of the company’s three-year growth margin of 258%. Since its inception in 2009, SkyShare has offered accessible private jet solutions to business leaders and executives, enabling them to compete and thrive in other areas of their business without the stress and hassle of commercial flight. 

“To be included on the Inc. 5000 list is an honor in itself, but to be included four years in a row is a testament to not only what we’ve built as a company, but also the people we’re hiring to create the best flying experience in the country,” said Cory Bengtzen, Founder & CEO of SkyShare. “This year has been particularly eventful between our new SFX+ program and creating a brand-new financing option for fractional ownership of aircraft. Despite the busy pace, we never stop thinking about the broader vision. As we continue to lower the barriers to entry for business professionals seeking private flight, we are confident in our trajectory and opportunity for continued growth and innovation.”

SkyShare recently announced an industry-first, innovative financing program for its fractional aircraft ownership plans, aimed at maximizing the accessibility of private flight. This came on the heels of the company’s groundbreaking SFX+ program launch, which increased its fleet with the addition of Gulfstream G450s and Challenger 300s, while also expanding its existing fleet of Pilatus PC-12s, Citation CJ2s, and Citation Excels under the SFX program. Through these new programs and financing tools, SkyShare is making it easier than ever for leaders and entrepreneurs to access private aviation.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

In addition to being named to the Inc. 5000 list, SkyShare is also proud to have been recognized by the Utah 100 for three consecutive years, highlighting the company’s consistent growth and profitability.

Designed for ages 5 to 12, the reimagined Ritz Kids program connects children to nature through immersive programming with seven daily themes such as Sea Creatures, Wildlife, and Shoreline. Working alongside regional experts from the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, the resort has crafted an experience that combines fun and education to provide a broad introduction to coastal Florida’s unique ecosystem with curated experiences like animal encounters, multi-sensory activities, and crafts that leave children with a new appreciation for the environment and their impact on it.

A delight for the senses, the new Ritz Kids Room features interactive walls that introduce children to ecotourism, as well as a demonstration stage, craft areas, self-discovery stations, vivariums, terrariums, and aquariums. Soaring high above the room, projectors create an ever-changing seascape to inspire learning and wonder. Building on the program’s four themes of water, land, environmental responsibility, and culture, the new facility was designed exclusively for The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, and constructed by Creative Arts Limited, Inc., a comprehensive design, build, and installation firm that transforms ideas into inspiring spaces such the Marco Island Historical Museum and the Tampa Bay History Center.

“The unique programming offered by Ritz Kids will help introduce and educate young people on the Southwest Florida ecosystem,” explained Paul Siefert, Vice President of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida. “We’re very proud of our partnership with The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, and the many ways the resort demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.”

Ritz Kids and their families are invited to partake in a complimentary tour of the Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s unique Nature Center, featuring 21-acres of indoor and outdoor exhibits and artifacts curated to showcase Southwest Florida’s unique ecosystem. The Nature Center also provides electric boat tours of the Gordon River, with docents highlighting flora and fauna along the route and a visitor program focusing on such topics as reptiles, birds of prey, oceans, and wildlife injury prevention.

Dazzling entertainment, regional dining and colorful landscapes layered with Disney magic will bring beloved stories to life onboard first Disney Cruise Line ship to homeport in Asia

SINGAPORE, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Disney Cruise Line is unveiling all-new details about one of the seven themed areas aboard the Disney Adventure, which will set sail from Singapore in 2025. Disney Imagination Garden, the central hub of the ship, will be an immersive, enchanted valley inspired by 100 years of heroic and heartwarming Disney adventures. The colorful landscapes of Disney Imagination Garden will transport guests into the pages of well-loved Disney stories alongside their favorite characters. The vibrant, open-air garden will be set against a three-deck-tall, stunning storybook castle art piece, a first-of-its-kind onboard a Disney Cruise Line ship. The space will also include a state-of-the art theatrical stage that will bring beloved Disney stories to life, two quick-service eateries, an alluring bar and a selection of garden-view staterooms. 

“Disney Imagination Garden is the heart and soul of the Disney Adventure, where our guests will interact with our Disney, Pixar and Marvel stories in a whole new way,” said Laura Cabo, portfolio executive creative director, Walt Disney Imagineering. “The size and scale of this space provided us with so many opportunities to dream big and try new things with our experiential design, creating first-of-a-kind experiences for our guests, from all-new entertainment to delicious dining and lots of magical surprises sprinkled throughout. Rooted in the rich legacy of Disney storytelling, we’re creating an area that will open doors to new adventures and encourage guests to create magic of their own.”

Disney Imagination Garden is one of seven uniquely themed areas on the Disney Adventure, each teeming with incredible characters and unique experiences. The other areas include Disney Discovery Reef, San Fransokyo Street, Wayfinder Bay, Town Square, Marvel Landing and Toy Story Place. More details about these themed areas will be released at a later date.

The Adventure Begins: Exploring Disney Imagination Garden
Recalling the pages of a classic pop-up storybook, Disney Imagination Garden will be filled with landscapes styled like paper cut-outs, including decorative foliage of blooming flowers, shaped topiaries, tall trees and cascading vines, all among scenic props like towering trellises and twinkling lanterns. Planted throughout the idyllic scenery will be a mix of popular characters and designs from Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories.

Disney Imagination Garden will be anchored by the Garden Stage on one end and the larger-than-life castle artwork on the other, with a promenade in between providing families with opportunities to explore, connect and dine. Directly in front of the stage will be an open “lawn” area leading to a large staircase that will double as amphitheater-style seating, perfect for enjoying live entertainment on the Garden Stage. On either side of the staircase, intricately adorned arches and leafy tree branches with hanging lanterns will further evoke the area’s storybook garden theme.

At the top of the grand staircase, guests will discover a charming garden courtyard and bar surrounded by trees designed to look like storybook cut-outs and decorated with images of familiar animal pals. At the center of the courtyard, a Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Mouse topiary will stand with his wand held high as if conjuring this magical garden where beloved characters and stories bloom to life.

Families staying in designated Garden View staterooms, an all-new room category for Disney Cruise Line, will have access to a verandah providing unmatched views of Disney Imagination Garden.

Set the Stage: Activating All-Day Entertainment
A captivating program of high-energy shows, character appearances and magical surprises will await families on the state-of-the-art Garden Stage. Complete with three-deck-high LED screens, special effects and innovative theatrical tools, this cutting-edge performance venue will delight guests of all ages throughout each day of their voyage aboard the Disney Adventure.

One of the signature entertainment experiences performed on the Garden Stage will be Avengers Assemble! This action-packed stage show will feature jaw-dropping stunts and incredible special effects as the one-and-only Deadpool makes his Disney Cruise Line debut to lend his signature irreverence and comedy to the spectacle. The epic battle of Marvel Super Heroes and Villains at sea will showcase the unbelievable powers of Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Thor, Black Panther, The Scarlet Witch, Ms. Marvel, Loki, Red Skull, Taskmaster and more.

Details about additional shows and other entertainment offerings on the Garden Stage will be released at a later date.

At the Family Table: Showcasing Regional Cuisines
Disney Imagination Garden will be home to two quick-service eateries that guests will be able to enjoy as part of their cruise fare. Inspired by the animated worlds of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “The Jungle Book” and “Moana,” these restaurants will continue Disney Imagination Garden’s immersive storytelling by inviting families to dine in two distinctly themed environments. With options for indoor and outdoor seating at both locations, guests who opt to dine on either patio will also have a view of the Garden Stage to enjoy entertainment.

• Mowgli’s Eatery – Serving Indian cuisine, including vegetarian and regional dishes with a special Disney twist, this casual eatery will be inspired by Mowgli’s epic journey in “The Jungle Book.” The restaurant will draw on both early concept art from the film and authentic regional design influences.
• Gramma Tala’s Kitchen – This inviting quick service restaurant will reflect the vibrant scenery and island flair of “Moana.” Décor inspired by the Pacific Islands, as well as art and backgrounds based on the film, will set the stage for an imaginative menu showcasing the diverse flavors found throughout the Pacific and Asia.

Magic at Sea: Sailing on the Disney Adventure
Beginning in 2025, the Disney Adventure will sail out of Singapore, offering families throughout the region three- and four-night voyages with only days at sea. The ship will be both a journey and a destination, with endless opportunities for families to have an unforgettable vacation without ever leaving the ship.

After a busy day of magical adventures, families will retreat to well-appointed staterooms complete with special Disney touches and family-friendly conveniences. Families can choose from a range of room types, including those boasting beautiful ocean vistas or scenic views of the ship’s spectacular promenades, as well as dedicated concierge accommodations. Providing ultimate luxury, concierge bookings will include access to exclusive areas and amenities such as a private indoor lounge, an expansive sundeck with shaded pool and whirlpools, high-end shopping venues, and first-class spa and fitness facilities.

On the Horizon: A New Adventure Awaits
The Disney Adventure will sail from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre for at least five years beginning in 2025 as part of a collaboration between Disney Cruise Line and Singapore Tourism Board.

Disney Cruise Line estimates the passenger capacity of the 208,000-gross-ton Disney Adventure to be approximately 6,700 with around 2,500 crew members.

More details about the Disney Adventure’s onboard experiences and maiden voyage will be announced at later date.

LONDON, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Royal Mansour Marrakech, Morocco, has been named winner of the No.3 Gin Art of Hospitality Award, ahead of The World’s 50 Best Hotels awards 2024 in September. 600 voters in The World’s 50 Best Hotels Academy, were asked to name the property where they received their single-best hospitality experience within the 18-month voting period.

Each guest enjoys their own private palace with service fit for royalty. The network of hidden tunnels allows butlers, assigned to each riad, to deliver impeccably discreet service.  

The Moroccan spirit of gracious hospitality extends to the restaurants: La Grande Brasserie and La Grande Table Marocaine – led by renowned chef Hélène Darroze; Sesamo, the opulent Italian restaurant from the Alajmo brothers and Le Jardin, Mediterranean-Asian fusion by Executive Chef Jérôme Videau.

Jean-Claude Messant, Managing Director of Royal Mansour Collection, says: “It’s a very special honour for our flagship hotel to receive this award. It’s down to our exceptional people, always striving to deliver the highest level of hospitality, ensuring each guest leaves with magical and unique memories of their stay.
