Machu Picchu

At nearly 2,400 metres altitude in the Peruvian Andes, Machu Picchu is a sanctuary where Inca architecture merges perfectly with nature.

Angkor Wat

One of the seven wonders of the world, Angkor Wat rises from the Cambodian jungle as a breathtaking monument to an ancient civilisation. Explore this extraordinary temple complex, discover Siem Reap and visit an authentic floating village. A destination that belongs on every bucket list.

New York

The Big Apple, from the Statue of Liberty to the heights of the Rockefeller Center, New York is the city that never sleeps. Every neighbourhood has its own character, every street its own story. A journey through the most iconic metropolis on earth.

Tokyo

The world’s largest city, where ancient traditions blend seamlessly with cutting-edge technology. Towering skyscrapers and neon lights exist alongside peaceful gardens and temples. Each district has its own unique character, from fashion and art to culture and history, Tokyo is an experience unlike any other.

Venice

Built in the middle of a lagoon, Venice is a city that has inspired artists across the world. Discover the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark’s Basilica, the Teatro La Fenice, and take a boat ride along the Grand Canal. Known for its masked carnival, romantic elegance and incredible beauty, Venice is a place everyone should experience at least once.

Reykjavík and Iceland

The world’s most northerly capital, where colourful streets meet volcanic landscapes. See Hallgrímskirkja, the glittering Harpa Concert Hall and the Sun Voyager sculpture. Then venture to Hvalfjörður and the spectacular Glymur waterfall, plunging into a deep glacial canyon surrounded by cliffs and mist. Iceland at its most raw and beautiful.

Cape Town

South Africa’s Mother City, a dynamic and cosmopolitan place that draws visitors from across the globe with its spectacular natural beauty, vibrant art scene and rich cultural heritage. A melting pot of cultures shaped by a complex and fascinating history, Cape Town is one of those rare cities that has something for absolutely everyone.

Barcelona

From the colourful mosaics of Park Güell to the organic towers of the Sagrada Família, Barcelona is a city shaped by Gaudí’s genius. Discover the squares of Gràcia, the Arc de Triomf, the Gothic Quarter, the beaches of Barceloneta and the panoramic views from Montjuïc. A city where creativity, culture and beach life meet in the most inspiring way.

Bali

The Island of the Gods, where the mysticism of ancient temples meets the warmth of sun-drenched beaches. Bali combines sacred traditions with breathtaking natural beauty in a way that captures the heart and never lets go. One of the most coveted destinations on earth, and for very good reason.

Tobago Cays

A catamaran voyage to one of the most astonishing Caribbean paradises, remote, uninhabited islets with crystal-clear waters, white sand and abundant marine life. Visit the island where Jack Sparrow was stranded in Pirates of the Caribbean. Far from the crowds, the Tobago Cays are the definition of tropical paradise.

Cliffs of Moher

Rising more than 200 metres above the crashing Atlantic and stretching 8 kilometres along the Irish coast, the Cliffs of Moher are one of nature’s most powerful spectacles. An unparalleled experience of the raw grandeur of the natural world, followed by a visit to the vibrant nearby city of Galway.

Istanbul

Once Constantinople, capital of two great empires, Istanbul is today a modern metropolis of 16 million where East meets West. Centuries of civilisation overlap in the most fascinating ways, making this one of the world’s most extraordinary cities to explore, a place where every district tells a different story.

Sossusvlei

Deep in the Namib Desert, discover the immense salt pan of Sossusvlei surrounded by spectacular red dunes, and the eerie stillness of Deadvlei, where ancient black trees stand frozen in time on white clay and burning sand. Start in Windhoek, Namibia’s capital perched between mountains and plains, before journeying into one of the most surreal landscapes on earth.

Sydney

Australia’s most iconic city, home to more than 5 million people and regularly ranked among the cities with the best quality of life in the world. From the sunny surf of Bondi Beach to the world-famous Sydney Opera House, there’s so much to explore in a city that perfectly balances urban energy with natural beauty.

Las Vegas

The glittering city of lights in the Mojave Desert, from the famous Strip and Fremont Street to the Bellagio, the High Roller and the fire-breathing praying mantis of the Container Park.
