Lights, it is utterly spellbinding. Showcasing the best of Finland, our travel experts have devised the perfect winter land escape for you.
Drive Through Western Canada
Road trips have always been one of our favourite ways to get to know a country. Windows rolled down, foot on the gas and the latest soundtrack on the stereo; you see and you connect so much more than when you soar above it all. Over the years, we’ve built up quite the passport of road trips but there’s one place we keep coming back to – Canada, and when it comes to hitting the road, you’ve got to head West.
Taking the epic drive over the Rockies is ideal for a short trip or an ambitious adventure. Take a week and stop off at the main sights such as Banff and Lake Louise or extend your trip and linger at Kamloops and unwind at the tranquil thermal springs surrounded by pine forests.
Ultimate New Zealand
Get the ultimate New Zealand experience – perfect scenery, thrills and luxury. You’ll see the country’s most beautiful attractions and stay in its finest hotels. Sip ice cold champagne on a glacier or go by kayak to get up close to indigenous birds. Fish in serene lakes and out in the ocean, or to head off in search of soaring mountain peaks, sublime forests, deserted beaches and dramatic fjords. The scenery here is matched only by the adventure; take glacier treks, helicopter tours, go white-water rafting, and more. New Zealand is truly impressive, and our ultimate New Zealand tour is designed to impress.
Luxuries of Amalfi Coast and Puglia
Ancient ruins, waterfront towns, vibrant houses looking over blue waters of the Mediterranean hide away a history that will overwhelm the most critical of spectators, Italy is a bespoke elegance incomparable to any other. A country that often makes it to trivia lists for its boot-like shape, it doesn’t stop at fashion, art and architecture but extends its opulence to a unique cuisine that is found to alter across cities and picturesque fishing villages. A country that is known through a strange contrast of ruins and hues is none other than the other-worldly Italy.
Cuba: History, People and Culture
A country, big or small, can boast of its history only when it has given the world an icon to treasure. A storm of a revolution can travel down decades and sink people in a timeless nostalgia. And that nostalgia has a face for many. Che Guevara is one such face. A synonym for the Cuban Revolution and a pride of Cubans, he was an Argentinian revolutionary. Cuba owes its present political philosophy to him. Guevara, smoking a cigar, another Cuban beauty, in Havana, resonates within popular culture and imagination. His Motorcycle Diaries are a travel inspiration for any culture enthusiast. A chunk of Latin American culture, Cuba thrives on multiethnicity and offers a rich history of its indigenous people and Spanish colonial influence.
If vibrant photos of colourful and classic Cuban taxis, of people swaying to the tunes of Cuban rumba and of locals playing a game of dominoes are any promise to an exotic holiday, get ready to be struck by the melting pot that is also the largest Caribbean island!
Wonders of Peru and Galapagos
A country that is hailed as one of the most biodiverse places in the world, Peru has wonders up its sleeves. From grass islands on Lake Titicaca to coloured corns and plates of cooked guinea pig, pink dolphins to micro-climates in all of its eclectic topography, Peru is full of surprises. The list is as mystifying as ever! Magical Inca ruins to Rainbow Mountain, Peru is the place to be! And Ecuador joins the bandwagon with the equator passing right through it! Finally, last but not the least, voyage through a National Park with wildlife at its most pristine? Yes, a dose of Galapagos will heal all wounds.
