💕✈️ City Breaks for 2025 You Won’t Want to Miss…

City breaks give you the chance to dive deep into a city’s culture, history, and food scene—sometimes in just a weekend. These destinations, full of charm and personality, are perfect for those who crave a cultural fix, new experience or a little bit of adventure.

Here are a couple of our favourites…

🌸 Cordoba, Spain:

If you’ve ever dreamed of wandering through beautiful, sun-kissed streets filled with history, Cordoba might just be the city for you. Situated in southern Spain’s Andalusia region, Cordoba offers the perfect blend of cultural experiences and laid-back charm. This city often flies under the radar, but once you’re there, you’ll wonder why you didn’t visit sooner.

🌼 Basel, Switzerland:

Basel, sits at the crossroads of three countries—Switzerland, France, and Germany—and is often overlooked in favour of more famous Swiss cities like Zurich or Geneva. However, Basel is a cultural powerhouse, with a rich history, outstanding art scene, and vibrant atmosphere, making it a fantastic choice for a city break.

The city is hosting the Eurovision Song Contest this year so it won’t be a hidden gem for long!

Just about recovered from an incredible few days aboard Norwegian Cruise Line’s brand-new ship, Aqua!

We sailed to Bruges, which was lovely! We also and plenty of time to explore the ship and its amazing facilities.

The food? Absolutely fantastic—so much variety, top-notch quality, and something for everyone.

The entertainment was non-stop, with activities for all ages. From amazing live shows and music, to fun-packed areas like mini golf, the game zone, pickleball, the sports court area and the glow court - there was always something exciting to do.

One of the highlights? The Aqua Slidecoaster—the world’s first hybrid rollercoaster and waterslide at sea, so much fun!

For a slightly more relaxing option, there is the spa - I was seriously impressed with this, and also Vibe Beach Club, an adult only area with comfy loungers and a hot tub.

We also got to check out different cabin options, including solo cabins (complete with the exclusive Studio Lounge for solo travelers) and the ultra-luxurious Haven Suite cabins. These range from standard suites to three-bedroom duplex suites, perfect for multi-generational families.

I’ve got so much more to share, but please do get in touch if you have any specific questions or would like more info.
