Forget everything you think you know about Pakistan…

Ancient walled cities. Incredible mountain landscapes. Mouthwatering Pakistani cuisine. Silk Road history. Traditional villages. And yes, a glacier you can actually walk on.

Best of Pakistan: Lahore, Islamabad & Passu Glacier takes you well beyond the usual tourist trail on an unforgettable 11-day small-group adventure.

Explore the Walled City of Lahore and the spectacular Badshahi Mosque. Experience the famous Wagah Border Ceremony. Discover Islamabad and ancient Taxila. Then head north into the legendary Hunza Valley along the Karakoram Highway.

And then there’s awe-inspiring Passu Glacier.

Walk across its crystal-blue ice, explore ancient settlements, visit Attabad Lake and Borith Lake, meet local families, share traditional meals and discover women-led community projects along the way.

This is the kind of trip where the experiences are as memorable as the places. You’re not just sightseeing. You’re getting a genuine look at a country, its people, its food and its traditions.

Small group. Multiple departure dates are available in 2027 and 2028.

And honestly, how many people do you know who have walked on a glacier in Pakistan?

WHAT IF YOUR NEXT TRIP TO ITALY WAS BUILT AROUND FOOD?

Not just eating it. Hunting for it. Tasting it. Learning where it comes from. And, of course, enjoying plenty of it along the way.

Flavours of Italy takes you on a 12-day culinary adventure from Milan to Tuscany, September 6 to 17, 2027.

And the menu is pretty impressive.

Truffle hunting near Turin.
Local markets in Milan.
Sparkling wine in Franciacorta.
Valpolicella wine country.
Cicchetti and wine in a traditional Venetian bacaro.
Cheese, balsamic vinegar, pasta and olive oil producers.

Then it’s south to Tuscany for Lucca, Florence and the legendary landscapes of Chianti.

Along the way, you’ll also explore Milan, Turin, Verona and Venice with guided sightseeing, local specialists and plenty of time to enjoy Italy at your own pace.

Your 4-star accommodations, selected meals and tastings, sightseeing, gratuities, Tour Director and Host are all part of the package.

Basically, someone took the best parts of an Italian vacation and built a 12-day itinerary around them.

Come for the food. Stay for the wine. Leave wondering why you don't do every vacation this way.

WINE FIRST. WILDLIFE LATER.

That sounds like a pretty good way to spend 13 days.

How do you go from sipping wine among the vineyards of Stellenbosch to watching elephants, rhinos and giraffes roam freely in the wild?

You take 13 days and go from Cape Town to Johannesburg on an unforgettable Small Group Discovery tour of South Africa.

With a maximum of just 24 guests, this is a very different way to experience the country.

Start in Cape Town with Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula and those famous African penguins at Boulders Beach. Then head into the Winelands for tastings at incredible estates, including Delaire Graff and Boschendal, with a farm-to-table picnic lunch thrown in for good measure.

From there, follow the coast through Hermanus and the Garden Route, explore the Featherbed Nature Reserve, and then it's time for the really wild part...

Spend 3 nights at a luxury tented camp in Kariega Game Reserve, with safari experiences by 4x4 and boat. Keep your eyes open for elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and plenty more. There are even options for guided bush walks and other wildlife experiences.

And throughout the journey? Hand-selected 5-star hotels, wine estates and luxury tented accommodation, plus all internal flights included.

Basically, it's a little bit of wine, a lot of wild, some spectacular scenery and 24 or fewer people to share it with.

Now THAT sounds like a holiday.

Departure dates available May through October 2027

NORWAY IN WINTER. BY SEA. UNDER THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

Ready for a Norwegian adventure that’s a little different?

SAVE UP TO $300 PER PERSON* on the Northern Lights of Norway by Sea, departing February 9, 2027.

This isn’t your typical cruise. Start with two nights in Oslo, exploring Norway’s fascinating history, architecture and polar exploration heritage, then board the Hurtigruten MS Trollfjord for a 6-night voyage along Norway’s spectacular winter coastline.

Think snow-covered mountains, dramatic fjords, colourful fishing villages and the breathtaking Lofoten Islands. And then there’s the real showstopper: stepping out onto deck after dark, looking up at the Arctic sky and hoping to see the Northern Lights dancing overhead.

Along the way, you’ll discover:
• The historic wooden streets of Stavanger
• The Art Nouveau beauty of Ålesund
• The maritime heritage of Rørvik
• The spectacular Lofoten Islands and Henningsvær
• Oslo’s Kon-Tiki and Fram Museums
• Local Norwegian cuisine, both on board and in Oslo

And because this journey combines a land stay in Oslo with a coastal voyage aboard Hurtigruten, you get to experience Norway from two very different perspectives.
SAVE $300 PER PERSON*

Travel: February 9 to 19, 2027
Book by: September 30, 2026

WHAT IF YOUR NEXT 10 DAYS LOOKED LIKE THIS?

Morning in the maze of the Fes medina. Lunch in a private home near ancient Roman ruins. An afternoon wandering the souks of Marrakech. Dinner under a desert sky with Berber music, camels and a traditional tented feast.

This is The Magic of Morocco, a 10 day journey that packs an extraordinary amount of discovery into one unforgettable adventure.

Travel through Rabat, Fes, Volubilis, Meknes, Casablanca, Marrakech and Essaouira, experiencing Morocco through its food, history, culture, architecture and people.

You’ll visit the spectacular Hassan II Mosque, explore the colourful leather tanneries of Fes, discover the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, and step into the world of Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakech.

There’s lunch at Rick’s Café in Casablanca, a carriage ride through Marrakech, a camel ride in the desert and a choice of three very different experiences: a Moroccan cooking class, a photography tour in coastal Essaouira or a traditional hammam spa experience.

And many of the details are already taken care of, including 23 meals, airport transfers, gratuities, local guides, admissions, taxes, service charges and porterage.

These departures sell out fast, but there are still dates available in November and December 2027.

Morocco is one of those places where the stories, flavours, colours and landscapes stay with you long after you've come home.

A different way to experience the Rhine & Danube!

If you love Europe, train travel and having a few days to really settle into each destination, this one is worth a look.

Rhine & Danube by Rail is a 13-day journey from Amsterdam to Budapest, travelling through the Netherlands, Germany, Austria and Hungary and stopping in some pretty fantastic places along the way.
You’ll spend time in Amsterdam, Cologne, Nuremberg, Vienna and Budapest, with a great mix of guided experiences and free time to do your own exploring.

Think canal cruises and a food tour in Amsterdam, the magnificent Cologne Cathedral, a very important Nuremberg sausage tasting, Vienna’s hidden courtyards, the beautiful Danube Valley and the spectacular Melk Abbey.

What if you skipped winter this year?

Okay, maybe not literally skipped it... but what if you traded the snow, cold and early sunsets for a few weeks somewhere warm, beautiful and completely different?
A long-stay vacation gives you something a one-week getaway simply can't: time.

Time to slow down. Explore beyond the tourist hotspots. Find your favourite café. Get to know the neighbourhood. Take a day off from sightseeing without feeling like you're wasting precious vacation time.

And here's the fun part: staying longer doesn't always cost as much as you might think.

We've put together some incredible long-stay possibilities for winter 2027, including:

Tunisia | Spain | Australia | Canary Islands | Colombia | Costa Rica | Croatia | Malta | Portugal | Mexico

From Mediterranean sunshine and European charm to tropical beaches and far-flung adventures, there's a whole world of possibilities waiting.

So... how long could you see yourself staying?

Take a look at our featured long-stay vacations and see where you could escape to this winter!
