Explore the world with the women who inspire your wanderlust

Soundtrack to the Deep South – Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee

This is a brilliant one for lovers of both music and classic Americana, starting in the home of country music, Nashville, and travelling on to Elvis' home town Memphis. You’ll also explore small towns on the Mississippi before being awed by the jazz musicians of New Orleans. Your holiday also includes tickets to Gran Ole Opry in Nashville, a visit to Graceland, and a Mississippi jazz cruise in New Orleans – and in the latter you can also opt for thrilling add-ons such as a swamp and bayou tour.

From the City of Angels to Sin City

This twin-centre journey is much loved for combining perhaps the two most iconic destinations in the USA: the 'Big Apple’ and 'Tinsel Town’. You’ll get four blissful nights in New York and Los Angeles, giving you plenty of scope to sightsee, dine like queens, and shop ‘til you drop. You’ll also enjoy luxurious but sustainable accommodation at the Conrad Los Angeles and Conrad Midtown.

“We enjoyed hiking up to the Hollywood sign, having lunch at the Beverly Wilshire hotel (famous for Pretty Woman) and celeb-spotting in West Hollywood. We spent 48 hours in the city, and it was the perfect duration to get a taste of what LA offers.” Stephanie Clawson, Travel Counsellor

The ultimate Bali adventure

Our magical two-week itinerary takes you to Seminyak, Ubud, Nusa Lembongan, and Canggu to really get you under the skin of this wonderful Indonesian island. You and your companions will stay in stylish accommodation and enjoy indulgent hours in spas, beach clubs, restaurants, and perhaps nightclubs while embracing once-in-a-lifetime experiences such as hiking up Mount Batur for sunrise views.

“This itinerary is not to be missed. From Ubud's cultural tapestry to Nusa Lembongan's sun-drenched shores, each stop offers something unique. I've visited temples, immersed myself in waterfalls, lost myself in bustling markets, and basked in the sun on pristine beaches, but what truly stole my heart were the people — their warmth and hospitality not only made every step of the adventure feel like coming home, but also empowered me as a solo female traveller, knowing I was safe and supported every step of the way.” Carol Lewis, Travel Counsellor

Classic Andalucía

This mesmerising road trip unveils the regional treasures Granada, Córdoba, Seville, Ronda, and Malaga as you wind your way along mountain roads, and allows you to immerse yourself in the Spanish way of life at your own pace. Highlights along the way include Seville’s Alcázar medieval castle with colourful peacocks that have made their home in the gardens, the Mezquita Mosque-Cathedral in Córdoba, and the Alhambra Palace in Granada.

“Andalucía is my favourite region of Spain, I try to visit a couple of times each year. I love Malaga city, it has everything, fab restaurants, museums, the Roman Theatre, the Alcazaba, and Gibralfaro Castle. There are some great rooftop bars too! Ronda has the most incredible views, and a visit to the Alhambra in Granada (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is a must!” Claire Stow, Travel Counsellor

Florence, Tuscany coast, and Pisa

This week-long holiday takes in some of the best of Italy in comfort and style. You’ll start in Florence, soaking in world-class sights, including the iconic Duomo and the Uffizi from your gorgeous base at the Grand Hotel Baglioni. From here you’ll head to hip coastal Forte dei Marmi with its designer boutiques, exclusive beach clubs, and Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoying a stay at Grand Hotel Imperiale. And last but not least comes Pisa with its Leaning Tower and accommodation at the lovely Grand Hotel Duomo.
