Travel is always trending. And sometimes people seem to discover the same destinations at once, making them the “it” spots of the moment. Here are six inspiring destinations to explore in 2024… and four more we think will be on every traveler’s wish list in 2025.
1. Patagonia
Whilst its temperatures run cool, this destination is hot right now! Are you ready to explore one of the most remote and untouched parts of the world? (And do you like penguins?)
2. Iceland
This Nordic country has soared in popularity in recent years. From the colourful streets of Reykjavík to volcanoes and the northern lights, there’s something breathtaking at every turn.
3. Italy
Travellers flock to this eternal favourite for the food, art, architecture, history, and more. The big trend now? Visiting during the off-season, when crowds are sparse and the weather is welcoming.
4. Ireland
Travellers can’t get enough of the Emerald Isle. May the road rise up to meet you!
5. Greece
From whitewashed houses overlooking the deep blue sea to ancient ruins filled with the secrets of history, Greece delights and amazes. Our new tour, Gems of Greece: Athens, Naxos, Crete, takes you to quieter islands for a more relaxed visit. (In 2025, two new Greek islands grace our portfolio: Crete and Naxos. If you've been to Santorini and Mykonos already, head there next!)
6. National Parks
America’s national parks are enjoying a boom in popularity. Mountains, canyons, geysers, towering redwoods, and more. (Two new tours coming in 2025: Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park and Utah's Mighty Five & the Rockies)
We’re convinced that these will be the next destinations on everyone’s list!
1. Portugal
Travellers easily fall under the spell of Portugal's charms, including (but not limited to!) its food, wine, hillside towns, and beautiful beaches. Our new 2025 tour, Portugal’s Old World Charms, takes you to Lisbon, Alentejo, and the Douro Valley.
2. Namibia
The stark, stunning beauty of this country on the southwest coast of Africa lures adventurous travellers. Explore the wonders of this undiscovered landscape on our new 2025 tour – Namibia & South Africa: Epic Landscapes & Wildlife.
3. Albania
This mountainous Balkan nation is soaring in popularity. Stunning coastlines, towering peaks, ancient ruins, and picturesque towns are just some of charms that await you here. Albania debuts in our portfolio for the first time in 2025, with The Balkans: From Coastal Croatia to Legendary Greece.
4. Mendoza
Time to add this city to your bucket list. In the heart of Argentina’s wine country, Mendoza offers mountain adventures, vineyard tours, and mouthwatering food, not to mention some of the best Malbec on the planet. Visit in 2025 on our new Essential South America tour!
