Trend: Deluxe Cruising
Who Does It Best: Celebrity Azamara Cruises

These new midsize cruises target a niche that's one step down from luxury: travelers who want an elegant experience minus the excessive formality, huge crowds, and exorbitant prices. Smaller ships mean more intimate onboard experiences and land excursions. Azamara's two 700-passenger ships tour the Caribbean as well as off-thebeaten- path destinations in Asia and Patagonia. (Rates from $2,749 per person for a 14-night Caribbean cruise; azamaracruises.com.)

Trend: Green Hotels
Who Does It Best: Hotel Terra
Jackson Hole, Wyoming

The new 72-room Hotel Terra proves that luxury and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. The formula: Upscale comfort (think rough-hewn lumber with steel detailing and a flagstone fireplace set against a wall of deep-red leather tiles) combined with environmentally sustainable operating practices, including energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, low-VOC (volatile organic compound) carpets and paint, and low-flow water fixtures. The hotel is on its way to becoming one of only five Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-certified hotels in the U.S. (Rooms from $395; hotelterrajacksonhole.com.)
