Excitement is building for our first tour to the world famous Parma Verdi Festival!

Our guide for the holiday is Charlotte Valori, an opera aficionado who loves nothing more than sharing her passion for this art form with others.

"I love talking about opera with people who are new to it, but it’s also wonderful to hear reminiscences from people who have significant experience of this exciting, international art," she says. "A festival dedicated to a composer gives us a unique opportunity to focus on, and connect with, the work in a very personal way - especially when it takes place in a location where the composer actually spent time in real life. It’s incredibly special to feel you are walking the same streets, gazing at the same landscapes and breathing in the same atmosphere of the place he once did."

At the heart of the programme are tickets to three outstanding performances at the Teatro Regio: The Verdi operas Alzira and Nabucco, and seats at the coveted, Gala Verdiano, a celebration of the life and works of the man himself on his birthday.

Whether you're an opera newbie or a seasoned connoisseur, we invite you to join Charlotte for an immersive and uplifting musical experience in Parma this October.

Our gentle adventure holiday to Finland’s Arctic Taiga begins with three nights at Lentiira Resort in Finland’s Kuhmo region.

Surrounded by clear lakes, the smell of pine trees and a dark sky full of stars, this is a place to rest and feel calm in the middle of nature. Your home will be a traditional Finnish log cabin where you will wake up to the sound of birds singing and the gentle lapping of water on the shore of the lake.

One of the guides describes being here as "medicine for the soul". Why not treat yourself to a healthy dose this September? Visit the Holidays in the Natural World page of our website to find out more.
