Grand journey on Canada’s Rocky Mountaineer & an Alaskan cruise
This 16-day trip brings you to some of North America’s most talked-about scenery. Begin on board the famous Rocky Mountaineer, passing awe-inspiring mountains and dramatic canyons from the comfort of your seat.

India’s Golden Triangle to Shimla for solo travellers
Perfect for independent spirits, this 15-day tour links together some of India’s best-loved sights, including Delhi, the Taj Mahal in Agra, and the colourful palaces of Jaipur. Afterwards, switch pace and head to Shimla in the Himalayan foothills, a place with a slower way of life and views for miles. Solo travel often means you can set your own rhythm, but on this holiday, you’ll also have company when you want it, with group experiences and time to explore on your own. It’s a great way to see iconic landmarks, try local flavours, and experience India your way.
New Zealand - Land of the Long White Cloud
If a journey to the other side of the world is on your list, this 21-day tour covers both the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The experience takes you from bubbling geothermal landscapes and Māori heritage to ice-capped peaks and dramatic coastal scenery. Highlights include a cruise through Milford Sound, the sights of Rotorua, and the scenic train through the Southern Alps. The itinerary leans into variety, with a mix of guided visits and free time to soak up everything this remarkable country has to offer.
South Africa for solo travellers
For those keen to experience South Africa in good company, this 16-day trip combines natural beauty with culture and wildlife. Start with Table Mountain and the energy of Cape Town before heading out on safari for a chance to spot lions, elephants, and more. The Garden Route offers beaches, towns, and unforgettable viewpoints, while a visit to Robben Island brings the country’s history into focus. This solo-friendly group is a sociable, safe way to explore South Africa without missing any of the must-see moments.
