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. Every day offers a new chapter, with all the small touches that make train travel memorable. Next, journey on to Alaska by ship, sailing the historic Inside Passage where glaciers, wild coastline, and the chance to spot whales create a sense of real wonder.

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.

Beyond the magic: Why a Disney cruise is the perfect holiday for every generation

01 September 2026

When you think of a Disney cruise, you might expect a holiday designed first and foremost for children. So, when Head Office colleague Steve Hawker booked a cruise on Disney Dream for his three young children, he expected them to have the holiday of a lifetime. What he didn't expect was that the rest of the family would be just as enchanted. Travelling as a group of 13 across three generations, the experience quickly became far more than a children's holiday. From the moment their family was announced on board to the sound of Disney's famous horn fanfare, it was clear this was a cruise designed to bring everyone together, no matter their age.

Why Norwegian Cruise Line's Great Stirrup Cay deserves a place on your travel wish list

10 August 2026

When you think of a Caribbean cruise, it's often the ports of call that steal the spotlight. But Norwegian Cruise Line is changing that with its private island, Great Stirrup Cay. Already loved for its white-sand beaches and laid-back Bahamian atmosphere, the island is entering an exciting new chapter with the launch of Great Tides Waterpark in September 2026. Combined with new dining experiences, family attractions, and relaxing adults-only spaces, Great Stirrup Cay is evolving into a destination that's every bit as exciting as the cruise itself. Whether you're travelling as a family, a couple, or with a group of friends, here's why this private island is worth getting excited about.
