Cruising in Halong Bay is a treat. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site 20 years ago, it has become one of Vietnam’s most popular tourist destinations for good reason. Stunning limestone karst scenery explodes out of sheltered, shimmering, emerald waters. Overnight cruises on Chinese junks offer up limestone caves to explore, grottoes to kayak into, islands to hike across, and misty sunrises not to be missed. Recently, Vietnam’s first tourism seaplane launched, flying visitors over the area and giving them spectacular views of the bay that are not visible from a boat. Go there and do it all!

Mexico is so much more than beaches. San Miguel de Allende, in central Mexico, is a gorgeous colonial town with history around every corner. Set amidst a stunning landscape of mountains, canyons and lush valleys, it’s known for its intense cultural and artistic life and is an enclave for writers, artists and musicians. Festivals abound ; there’s always something going on, many celebrated with fireworks, parades and great excitement. And fantastic dining options – in courtyards and on rooftops, with this beautiful city lit up around you.

It’s Wave Season! The time of year when cruise lines try to fill their ships for the year and travelers have their pick of deals and cabins. If you’re thinking of cruising in 2015, consider booking before the end of March. Don’t know where to go or what to choose? We’ve cruised on several continents, from small river boats to ocean mega-ships, and are always happy to provide some pointers. Cruising is now so much more than crowded decks, tacky entertainment and buffet lines. There are cruises to suit every taste and bucket list experiences to be had. Cruising is cool.

Malta is one of the less-known Mediterranean destinations for North Americans, but definitely a worthwhile one. The capital, Valletta - a UNESCO world heritage site - was built in the 16th century and, with hundreds of monuments, is one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world. Divers head to Malta and sister island Gozo in droves, eager to explore the spectacular underwater scenery - caves, tunnels, plunging cliffs - and clear visibility. Gozo is also home to the prehistoric Ggantija, a well-preserved temple complex built of enormous monoliths that local legend claims was the work of giants. Maltese cuisine is an interestingly eclectic mix of Mediterranean cooking, collected from the many civilisations who occupied the islands over the centuries. Consider a visit next time you cross the Atlantic.

‘Tis the season for ice hotels. Sculpted from thousands of tons of snow and ice and undeniably cool in more ways than one, there are only around 20 of them in the world. One of the most intricately designed and visually stunning ice hotels is right here in Canada. Québec City’s Hôtel De Glace is built from 15,500 tons of snow and comes complete with an ice chapel for weddings and vow renewals, and the Grand Slide for some speedy fun. Open January through March for a unique bucket list experience.

Uruguay is not the first South American destination that tourists rush to… and that’s part of its charm. It’s a progressive, stable and safe country that offers visitors the opportunity to experience real life rather than shrink-wrapped tourism. Cosmopolitan Montevideo, picturesque Colonia and party-till-you-drop Punta del Este with a ton of great eats thrown in – worth a trip south.

The Baja is back in business. Bucket List Trips is ‘on location’ and can report that the Los Cabos area is returning to normality after the devastation of Hurricane Odile. The airport is up and running, hotels are re-opening, and tourists are returning. Now is the time to get some fabulous deals and enjoy the Baja’s endless blue sky, white sand beaches and pervasive, impossible-to-resist, mellowness.

Portugal is typically not the first European destination that people think of, but what a treat it is. One blissful way to experience it is on a river cruise along the Douro from one side of the country to the other. Travelling between steeply terraced vineyards, charming towns unchanged for centuries, castles, mansions, and monasteries, you can visit four UNESCO world heritage sites, slip into Spain for a day tour of Salamanca, and sample the area’s sensational ports and tawny wines.

Tourism in Tunisia is on the rise once again, so consider going before the crowds arrive. Easily accessible via Europe, it’s a compelling destination with multi-coloured mosques, Roman remains, beautiful beaches and even Star Wars sets in the middle of the desert. Now that’s unique.

When it’s winter here, it’s summer in the South Pacific. Tahiti, Fiji, Cook Islands, Vanuatu, Samoa…. the names alone are enough to conjure up images of palm trees, fine white sand, and the clearest, bluest water anywhere. Go cruising, island hopping, over-water bungalow luxuriating, or simply find a patch of sand and hang. Combine with a trip to Aussie or New Zealand and have a true Down Under experience. It’s a different world down there, and well worth the trip…. especially in winter.

Puerto Escondido is one of the nicest beach destinations on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Although its hip factor is increasing, it remains an unpretentious fishing port and market town. While Playa Zicatela is the surfers’ mecca, Playa Carrizalillo is where you go to find your mellow. Accessed via a 150-step stairway, it’s a gorgeous cove with waters quiet enough for leisurely swimming and snorkelling, and beach shacks offering fresh seafood. The blissful Hotel Escondido is a hidden-away, oceanfront oasis with thatched villas and private plunge pools, where you drift off to sleep to the sound of the waves. Ahhh….
