From the Netherlands we take a trip down to the ultra-discreet Principality of Monaco, host of the greatest yacht show in the world ‘The Monaco Yacht Show’. Then, we travel thousands of feet below the sea, exploring the vast ocean with Triton Submarines, utilized by some of films greatest names such as film director James Cameron and presenter David Attenborough.
