Travel ideas a little out of the box…
Ditch planes for a new kind of travel experience. Take to the seas on an intrepid cruise of the Galapagos, revel in the nostalgia of a railway journey, or embrace slow travel and road trip through some of your favourite countries.
Sometimes the best way to see a country’s true colours is along its rivers or coastline by boat. Watch the destination reveal itself through the windows, stopping off to get up close to the culture, history and wildlife.
Surrender to the cathartic rhythm of rail and the romance and luxury of slow travel. Watch iconic landscapes like the Scottish Highlands or the Alps roll by before you pull into some of the world’s most famous cities.
It is hard to beat the romance and freedom of the open road. For couples and families, a road trip offers the ultimate in flexibility and adventure.
The luxury of your own space can make hitting the road one of the most relaxing ways to travel, enjoy the scenery and meet the locals. Here’s a selection of our favourite self-drives.
Tour Ideas Across the Year
Find holiday ideas that work with your schedule. If you’re tied to school holidays, prefer to travel in the shoulder season, or simply want to do something different this summer – we’ve got you covered with the best places to go in each month of the year.
