What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the Real Deal Tarp Hat. Hand-crafted in Brazil from recycled cargo-truck tarp and truck tires, this hat has hit the road for more miles than Willie Nelson and now you can take it even farther. Patches, marks, frays and even bits of Portuguese writing make each one unique. It is sized from S (6 3/4 inches) to XXL (8). An optional leather wind strap is available.What's New, What's Hot: January 2017

The Seabourn Encore, christened in Singapore in early January, is the fourth, and largest ship in Seabourn's fleet. Among the highlights: two new specialty restaurants, Sushi and the Grill by Thomas Keller; and a secluded collection of 15 private cabanas surrounding a hot tub on Deck 12. The ship's design has been revised to reflect a softer, more curvaceous theme throughout the ship. Pictured here, the Observation Lounge with a new semi-circular skylight.

Tourists have been going to Chernobyl, the site of the worst nuclear accident in history, for 20 years. In 2015 alone, about 25,000 people visited the site. Chernobyl Tour, one of the operators offering guided excursions, acknowledges that it cannot guarantee that a visit to the area is completely risk-free, but makes a credible case that unless one breaks the rules or is very, very unlucky, the typical exposure to radiation on the tours is well below danger levels. Pictured here, a tour bus parked at the border of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, its passengers waiting for clearance to enter.
