Maybe you know you want something different but aren’t sure what your options are. There’s a whole world of incredible experiences beyond the usual all-inclusive resorts and big bus tours—you just need the right fit.
To help you start dreaming about your next adventure, I’ve put together 5 Incredible Travel Experiences that can be completely tailored to your style and pace.
I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, and sorting through endless options can be overwhelming. That’s where I come in.
Rail travel offers a wide range of experiences, from simple local trains to iconic and luxurious rail journeys. Picture hopping on the Rocky Mountaineer, which takes you through the Canadian Rockies in glass-domed carriages, or experiencing the Glacier Express, which links Zermatt and St. Moritz through the Swiss Alps, with views of snow-capped peaks and charming villages. Whether you're enjoying a scenic, local ride or exploring with the elegance of a luxury train, each route offers something special.
The Venice Simplon-Orient-Express combines glamour with history, transporting you back to the golden age of travel with its lavish accommodations and exquisite dining. Or, take the Venetian Train, where you can experience the magic of Italy’s countryside in comfort. These trains aren’t just a way to get from one place to another—they’re a chance to immerse yourself in a journey where every moment feels like an experience.
And the best part? Rail travel spans six continents, offering unforgettable journeys across the globe, from Africa’s iconic safari routes to scenic rides through Australia, Asia, and Europe. The only place trains don’t reach? Antarctica!
Yacht cruises offer an exciting and intimate way to explore coastal destinations, blending the luxury of a private yacht with the structure of a traditional cruise. Instead of chartering an entire yacht, you book a room, much like a typical cruise—allowing you to enjoy all the personalized service and luxury without the hefty price tag.
These cruises often take you to unique and less-visited destinations, such as the stunning Dalmatian Coast, where you can explore hidden harbors, charming towns, and pristine beaches. With a price point similar to a river cruise, yacht cruises are an excellent option for those seeking a more intimate, boutique-style cruise experience while enjoying top-notch amenities and stunning views. You’ll have access to all the benefits of a smaller vessel, including fewer passengers, a more relaxed atmosphere, and an opportunity to experience a destination in a deeper way.
If your ideal vacation includes fresh air, breathtaking landscapes, and a bit of adventure, hiking and biking trips offer the perfect way to explore the world. Imagine trekking through the Swiss Alps or the Andes, where every step brings you closer to stunning peaks and panoramic views. Prefer something closer to sea level? Walk or bike along the Amalfi Coast, where dramatic cliffs meet sparkling blue waters, or pedal through Ireland’s rolling green countryside, stopping in charming villages along the way.
Whether you prefer to join a group of like-minded travelers or venture out independently, there’s an option to suit your travel style. Some trips offer guided support with planned routes, accommodations, and luggage transfers, while others give you the freedom to explore at your own pace. With options for all fitness levels, you can choose a trip that’s as challenging—or as relaxed—as you like. So, lace up your boots or hop on a bike, and let the adventure begin!
For those who love animals and the great outdoors, wildlife travel offers incredible opportunities to see nature at its most raw and beautiful. Witness the Great Migration in Kenya and Tanzania, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the Serengeti. Go on a safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, spotting elephants, lions, and rhinos in their natural habitat. Or, if you prefer a different kind of adventure, explore Borneo’s jungles, home to orangutans and pygmy elephants.
Prefer a more laid-back experience? Try birdwatching in Costa Rica, where you can spot toucans, resplendent quetzals, and vibrant hummingbirds in lush rainforests. Head to Iceland for whale watching, visit Japan to see snow monkeys soaking in hot springs, or explore Scotland’s rugged coast to see puffins nesting on dramatic cliffs. Whether trekking through tropical jungles, crossing vast savannas, or simply observing wildlife in peaceful settings, these trips bring you closer to nature in a way few experiences can.
While expedition cruises are technically another type of cruise, they’re an entirely different experience—one that takes you deep into some of the most remote and untouched corners of the world. These voyages go beyond traditional itineraries, trading bustling ports for places few travelers ever see.
Imagine stepping onto the icy shores of Antarctica, spotting polar bears in the Arctic, or exploring the Amazon River, where the jungle teems with life. Sail through Alaska’s Inside Passage, visit the Galápagos Islands, or journey to remote South Pacific atolls. Expedition cruises offer adventure, discovery, and an up-close look at the world’s most incredible landscapes.
