The enquiries coming in at the moment are all for 2028 and beyond....

Not next year. 2 years from now.

Prices have gone up. Jet fuel costs are higher this year, and Air Passenger Duty rises again in April 2027. I'm seeing that people would rather give themselves time to save than cut the trip down to fit what they can afford right no

Nobody’s told me they’re giving up travelling. They’ve moved the date to give themselves time to save for it.

Are you planning further ahead than you used to?

Seven nights on Mauritius, in a Junior suitem with the flights and half board already in the price.

Premier Holidays has a fabulous deal on a 7-night stay at the 5-star Le Meridien Ile Maurice from £2,169 per person, travelling on 30 November 2026. Book quickly to secure your place at this price.

With only seven nights, a direct flight means more of that time is spent on the island and less of it in an airport. Which is my kind of holiday!

Most French Polynesia trips stay around Tahiti and the lagoons. The Marquesas and the Austral Islands are a different journey altogether

Audley Travel now works with Aranui Cruises to take clients to both. These are remote, unspoilt islands, reached by an all-inclusive voyage with English-speaking guides and a Polynesian crew.

There are guest speakers on board too, so you learn about the islands as you reach them.

For anyone who wants the South Pacific to feel like somewhere in particular, and not a resort, this is the option I'd look at...

If you've been following my adventures in Madagascar over on my Bridget - World Class Adventures page, you might want to try it for yourself. Here's a really good offer for those of you who love wildlife.

Madagascar, for 15 days, in a small group, looking for its rare mammals.

Wildlife Worldwide has a small group tour taking in two of its most contrasting wildlife areas, with the focus on rare and special mammals.

It departs 13 September 2028. Prices start from £7,995 per person, with a single supplement of £1,650. This is not the exact same trip that I did. It's very much a specialist wildlife tri and you go even further off the beaten track than I did to explore the rarer species. There are plenty of other group trip options available at various budgets. If you're interested please get in touch.

I'll confirm what's included, the flight details and any charges payable locally, before anything is booked.

I only saw the Seychelles through a plane window, and I want to see a lot more of them!

On the way to Madagascar I flew via Dubai, with a 1.5 hour touchdown in the Seychelles before Antananarivo. I stayed on board, but flying over the island I could see green forest, white beaches and beautiful bays, and the turquiose sea right next to the airport.

I've been to around 80 countries and a stopover en route doesn't often do that to me. This one did!

It's on the list now for sure

Rainforest-fringed shores, remote islands, and a tall ship to reach them.

National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions is sailing the Caribbean aboard Sea Cloud II, going beyond the ports everyone knows.

You explore by snorkel and on foot, with expedition teams who know the wildlife, the landscape and the history of each place.

It's a different Caribbean from the beach resort one, and suits anyone who has done that version and wants to see what else is there to discover...

These are my Madagascar millions, on my lap in the car.

It's about 600 euros, which came to over 2 million ariary.

Not every country has working ATMs or takes cards. Some are still cash economies, especially in developing countries, and Madagascar is one of them.

Two things to plan before you go:

- Where does the cash live? A room safe is fine if you're staying in one hotel. It doesn't help when you're on the road, and the money is with you all day. Split it between your bags and money belts, so if you lose some, you don't lose it all.

- And how much room does it take up? 600 euros filled my lap. I hadn't planned for that!!

Mid-December is when the penguin eggs start to hatch on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Aurora Expeditions' Spirit of Antarctica sails 12 to 22 December 2027, 11 days on the Douglas Mawson. Daylight last for 18 to 24 hours down there, so the days are as full as you want to make them, with shore landings and Zodiac cruises through the ice, past seals, penguins and whales when they appear.

The route is set day by day by the weather and the ice, so no two voyages are the same.

This sailing has up to 15% off per person. Spitsbergen in August 2027 has up to 25% off, and Southern Patagonia in March 2027 has up to 35% off.

I'm independent, so I compare the polar operators, recommend the voyage that suits you, and I don't charge a planning fee.

Savings are per person, based on two sharing, on select departures only. The booking and deposit must be made between now and 22 December 2026, and Aurora controls capacity.

I will confirm the full price, including any charges payable locally, before you book.

I'm back from Madagascar, where I slept in a woolly hat, had a picnic lunch at the side of a dusty road with children who appeared by magic from nowhere, and watched the bioluminescence from the deck of my beach cabin.

You won't get that side of a trip from this page. My own page, Bridget - World Class Adventures, is where I share what travel is really like: the long drives, the people I meet, what goes wrong and what I'd do differently. It's also where I show what goes on behind the scenes of running World Class Adventures.

Follow Bridget - World Class Adventures to read the Madagascar diary and to see where I go next!

For a few minutes on 2 August 2027, the sky over Timgad in Algeria will go dark in the middle of the day, one of the longest total solar eclipses of the century, passing directly over Roman ruins nearly two thousand years old.

Dragoman has built a 21-day small group tour around it, through Algeria's ancient cities and out into the Sahara before the eclipse itself.

If you've ever wanted to build a trip around a moment like that rather than squeeze the moment into a trip, get in touch and I'll talk you through what's out there.
