It is November 1st and the start to the most magical time of year. ✨

Gatherings with friends and family. Discussing where you may be adventuring to next. The dreaming phase is always a lot of fun! So let us help with some inspiration.

Continuing our celebration of Solas Travels’ anniversary, we took a close look at the TOP FIVE destinations our clients have spent the most time discovering over the last 5 years. What did we find?

Slow travel continues to reign supreme in Italy, Japan, Southeast Asia, River Cruises & Small Ship Ocean Cruises (not a total tie, but close) and Scotland & England.

We have highlighted a mix of our favorites and newer spots that we think are worthy of a conversation. So if you need a place to start your wanderlust, we have you covered. Enjoy!

📍 Helsinki, Finland

There are very few experiences that I’ve had in the last several years that have turned me into a small child in a candy shop. But having an exclusive tour of the Marimekko factory and headquarters did just that. The colors! The technique! The refusal to waste and emphasis on upcycling!

This brand was founded in the early 1950’s in Finland to bring joy to the postwar era. It produces timeless, vibrant clothing and you can spot a Marimekko print from miles away.

Next time you’re in Helsinki, carve out some time to visit the factory outlet. Your wallet won’t thank you but your vacation photos will be far more bright and playful once you’ve left.

Happy World Ocean Day! 🪸🐠🌊

It’s more than just a date on the calendar - it’s a moment to reflect on what is happening in the mysterious and mesmerizing marine ecosystems around the world.

Some places are thriving and others are increasingly vulernable to climate change, pollution and over tourism.

On my recent trip to Indonesia I was once again reminded of the fragility of our ocean AND the absolute wonders it holds for all of us.

In our bustling, hurried world, the gift of time is priceless. To spend your free time exploring new corners of the world and tip toeing out of your comfort zone is a wise investment.⁠

Our client had a little over one week and wanted to escape a very warm summer so he hopped on a flight to Norway and Sweden and explored a bit of buzzy city life and the refreshing stillness of the Swedish Lapland. ⁠
