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.

Whether ocean sailing, river cruising or just strolling along the pier, there are some fine gourmet experiences to be had.

Discover why Michel Roux's cooking has made him a triple Michelin-starred chef on a Celebrity Cruise (08000 182525; celebrity.com) around the Caribbean. Try the Ithaa Undersea Restaurant, Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa, Rangali Island, Maldives (00 960 668 0629; hilton.com) located on a coral reef five metres under the Indian ocean.

Discover your sea legs on a Manohra dinner cruise along the Chao Phraya River, 257 Charoennakorn Road, Bangkok (00 66 2477 0770; manohra cruises.com).

Arrive at the Al Mahara at Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai (00 971 4 301 7648; burj-al-arab.com), after a three-minute virtual submarine ride. Even the stunning oval aquarium doesn't overshadow the restaurant's seafood.

If you're looking for candy floss and fish and chips, you'll be disappointed by Pier Restaurant, 594 New South Head Road, Rose Bay, Sydney (00 61 2 9327 6561; pierrestaurant.com.au). Pan-roasted barramundi is the more sophisticated order of the day.
