Top Destinations for 2025
As we step into 2025, wanderlust is calling louder than ever. It’s been a busy start to the year and whether you're seeking sun-soaked beaches, magical winter wonderlands, or luxurious cruises, there’s a destination waiting for you. Here are the five top travel destinations that are leading the way in bookings right now to inspire your next adventure. Normally at this time of year Spain is a number 1 trending destination, but this year it is showing that travellers are looking to travel further afield and twin centres like Dubai/Maldives and Japan with a cruise attached, are also very popular.
1. Dubai: The City of Wonders Dubai continues to captivate travellers with its blend of modern marvels and cultural treasures. In 2025, this vibrant city is a must-visit for: • Iconic Attractions: Marvel at the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and explore the futuristic Museum of the Future. • Luxury Experiences: Indulge in a stay at Atlantis The Royal or enjoy a desert safari complete with gourmet dining under the stars. • Family Fun: Visit the thrilling Dubai Parks and Resorts or the awe-inspiring Dubai Aquarium. Dubai offers something for everyone, making it perfect for couples, families, and solo travellers alike.
2. Florida: Sunshine State Adventures Florida remains a top destination for its unbeatable mix of beaches, theme parks, and natural beauty. Highlights for 2025 include: • Orlando’s Magic: Experience new attractions at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort, including immersive rides and themed lands. • Beach Escapes: Relax on the pristine shores of Clearwater Beach or explore the vibrant art scene in Miami. • Natural Wonders: Discover the Everglades’ unique ecosystem through airboat tours or kayak in the Florida Keys. Whether you’re seeking thrills or tranquillity, Florida has it all. Orlando was one of my main routes when I was flying, so I know the area really well and can help you create your perfect trip easily, as this type of holiday can be daunting to create if you have never been before.
3. Tenerife: The Island of Eternal Spring Tenerife, the crown jewel of the Canary Islands, promises year-round sunshine and breath taking landscapes. In 2025, don’t miss: • Natural Beauty: Hike through Teide National Park, home to Spain’s highest peak, or relax on the golden sands of Playa de Las Teresitas. • Local Culture: Experience traditional Canarian cuisine and vibrant festivals, such as the Santa Cruz Carnival. • Adventure Activities: Try whale watching, scuba diving, or paragliding over the island’s dramatic cliffs. Tenerife offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure and is only 4.5 hours flight time from Manchester/Liverpool.
4. Lapland: A Winter Wonderland For those dreaming of a snowy escape, Lapland in 2025 promises unforgettable experiences: • Meet Santa Claus: Visit Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi, where the magic of Christmas comes alive. • Aurora Borealis: Witness the breath taking Northern Lights in the clear Arctic skies. • Unique Activities: Enjoy husky sledding, snowmobiling, or a stay in an igloo hotel. Lapland is a magical destination that will enchant both children and adults, it is always very popular and now is the time to secure your holiday for this coming year. It’s not just for Father Christmas visits though, January is a great time to visit Lapland, see the Northern Lights and enjoy all the snowy fun this magical place offers with a much cheaper price tag.
5. Cruise Holidays: Explore the World by Sea Cruise holidays are taking centre stage in 2025, offering unparalleled convenience and variety. I have booked more cruises than anything else in recent weeks. Highlights include: • Mediterranean Adventures: Sail through history with stops in Italy, Greece, and Spain. • Caribbean Escapes: Discover tropical paradises like St. Lucia, Barbados, and the Bahamas. • Luxury at Sea: Experience gourmet dining, world-class entertainment, and spa treatments onboard the latest cruise ships. Cruising allows you to explore multiple destinations while enjoying all the comforts of a floating resort.
