8–Day Best of Bali
Indonesia
Bali is for ballers … and anyone else who wants to get their breath taken away.
It doesn't get much more exotic than Bali, an island known for forested volcanic mountains, amazing religious sites, stunning beaches, and a general feeling of surreal luxury. This itinerary covers it all, starting with a jaunt to the beaches and temples of Bukit and ending with the terraced rice fields and artisan village of Ubud.
Between all that is a week of wonder: a seafood dinner on a beach, a Ramayana epic–based Kecak dance, a stop at Bali's only Buddhist monastery, and explorations of temples and rural villages. A private car is your means of transportation to serene Lake Beratan in the crater of Mt. Batukaru, a holy hot spring, and a fruit and flower market—and that's just one day! A couple of days at the beach lets you recharge before seeing Mt. Batur and silver and woodcrafting demonstrations.
8–Day Alaska National Park Tour
Alaska
If natural majesty is your jam, you’re “park”-ing up the right tree.
Far from the continental U.S. it may be, but Alaska—sprawling lands where bald eagles soar through broad skies and over towering forests—exemplifies America. On this itinerary, a day in the state's most populous city, Anchorage, serves as your last touchpoint before diving into the Last Frontier in the comfort of a deluxe motor coach. Seward, the gateway to Kanai Fjords National Park, is the next town on the docket; trade land for sea with a wildlife cruise for your first glimpse of Alaska's animals.
… But that's just a preview compared to Denali National Park, where a Tundra Wilderness Tour takes you deep into the wilds in search of … well, wildlife. Six to eight hours give you plenty of time to spot bears, moose, birds, and more, plus participate in park activities. Then, the day before you return to Anchorage, ride in a domed, sunlit railcar toward Talkeetna to experience Alaskan landscapes in ultimate leisure.
7–Day Corners of Cornwall
England
Travel through time and space in England’s Riviera.
Not far from the commercial capital of England is a rugged land full of sandy beaches, harbor villages, towering cliffs, and more moors than you can imagine. This is Cornwall, and exploring its corners is exactly what you should be doing.
The tour starts in London, a super convenient gateway, but steps off the mainstream right off the bat with a visit to tiny market city Wells, Somerset, then through the "gorse–clad tors" of Dartmoor National Park. Next up is the northern coast of the peninsula for the first of many fishing village stops, where fresh–off–the–boat seafood makes for a fortifying treat, then islands and estates—including a tea plantation—in a radius around Falmouth. The southern coast closes the circle with a Buckfast Abbey visit in Devon; sandstone cliffs in Dorset; the Lyme Regis of Jane Austen's tales; and the old Roman road to Salisbury. We recommend coming all the way back to modern day, though, with a post–tour stay in London, where the group says "cheerio!" as the tour ends.
8–Day Best of Thailand
Thailand
“The King & I”? Try more “The king am I” with this deluxe tour!
The crown jewels of what used to be referred to as Siam are on proud display with this itinerary. Bangkok, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai provide a leisurely but deep dive of the diversity of this small but dynamic country.
Take to the waters a day after you've taken to the skies—a day of rest in the capital should be enough to revitalize you for the motor launch tour through Bangkok on the Chao Phraya River and its klongs (canals). Then, it's back on land in a tuk–tuk through Chinatown, Thai–style, and air and water again in Chiang Rai, the heart of the rural Golden Triangle and entrance to the famous Mekong River, which you'll explore by boat. The tour ends in Chiang Mai, where sacred temples, Buddhist monks, hill tribes, and handicrafts leave you with a sense of peace and otherworldliness before returning to ours.
7–Day Best of Korea
South Korea
Beyond the Olympic Games, this country’s a winner. We can show you why.
This tour starts with a taste of "Gangnam style" in Seoul before diving into the soul of the country, with stops that include grottoes, temples, folk villages, traditional markets, and beautiful parks with vast rock outcrops, tiered waterfalls, and towering palm trees.
A visit to the spiritual and cultural capital of Korea is also on the docket; Gyeongju is the Shilla Kingdom's capital's name, and this "museum without walls" has been designated one of the world's ten most historic sites by UNESCO. You'll check out Busan, Korea's main port and second–largest city, then fly to Jeju Island and visit a museum honoring the haenyeo female divers of the semi–matriarchal island and explore a palace. And you'll have yourself an adventure.
6–Day Volcanoes and Glaciers
Iceland
Peaks, pinnacles, promontories … this tour’s got ‘em all.
If you've got a thing for heights and adventure, you already know that Iceland's the land for you. What we know is that this is the tour for you, with volcanoes and glaciers taking the spotlight nearly as soon as you touch down in Reykjavik. Among those, you'll see Europe's biggest glacier, Cross Eldhraun, and rings of them in Vatnajkull National Park. Floating icebergs then delight in Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
And if water views are your thing, you're in luck! Because where there are mountains, there are always waterfalls, and Iceland is no exception. Walk behind Seljalandsfoss and see Skogafoss and Gullfoss. The aqueous theme continues with a ferry ride to the Westman Islands and visits to black–sand beach Reynisfjara and the Geysir hot spring area. Thingvellir National Park wraps up the tour before it ends where it all began: Iceland's capital, Reykjavik.
4–Day Glacier Express Deluxe
Switzerland
A train ride to make Sheldon Cooper weep tears of joy.
Even for those who don't follow the show, it's no secret that trains are a particular weakness for this lead character of The Big Bang Theory. This multi–day and –train, panoramic, first–class ride is a dream come true for locomotive lovers, winding through the amazing Swiss Alps and allowing time for exploration of three gorgeous cities.
We recommend arriving in Zurich, the tour's starting point, as early as possible for obvious reasons like the shopping mile Bahnhofstrasse, the lake promenade, and the old town. The first stop the train makes, though, is St. Moritz on the scenic southern side of the mountains. Overnight there before boarding the famous Glacier Express, where you'll get the chance to learn all about the land you're crossing via commentary on complimentary headphones. Personally, we'd extend this stay right here in this quirky car–free zone on one of the world's most awe–inspiring mountains. Either way, another quick train makes it easy to get to the airport … or the next leg of your adventure.
14–Day Essence of China & Yangtze River Cruise
China
Knock a whole list of legends off your bucket list with just one trip.
The Forbidden City. The Great Wall. The Terra Cotta Warriors. The Three Gorges Dam and karst formations along the Yangtze. Pandas! Not to mention actual cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Chongqing, and Suzhou.
It's an awful lot to be packing into two weeks, but that's because there's something to see and do at every turn in this ancient country. This crash course in China is all about experience, with inclusions like a hutong tour by rickshaw; dumpling, hot pot, and Peking duck dinners; noodle–making demos; acrobatic performances; rides along canals; and a leisurely cruise down one of the world's most important rivers. It winds down in the Venice of the East, Shanghai … but this journey will also wind you up to book another escorted luxury tour to linger over your new favorite destinations.
7–Day Authentic Costa Rica
Costa Rica
Eco-adventure meets road trip on this Central American journey.
Hot springs, volcanoes, cloud forests, lakes, beaches, sloths and monkeys … and all the coffee you can drink to fuel you up for one of the top destinations for eco–adventure. It's impossible to leave Costa Rica not wanting more, but with this itinerary, you'll at least get to check off enough major highlights to plan your return visit.
The tour kicks off with an independent drive through the Central Mountain Range to stay at Chayote Lodge, a luxury retreat that provides an immersive peek into coffee culture in Costa Rica. Drives though villages and on the Pan–American Highway end in places like the famous Arenal Volcano National Park (which you'll get to hike!), Arenal Lake, the Gulf of Nicoya, and Guanacaste's stunning beaches.
8–Day Central Italy Experience
Italy
… Otherwise known as “Tuscany for VIPs” with this itinerary!
In Italy, independent travel gives you the freedom to get lost in your surroundings. However, without a tour, how can you be sure you did it all? That's where this itinerary comes in—guides daily, transfers arranged, and leisure time aplenty to linger over that glass of rosso. This itinerary starts in Florence, the capital of Tuscany, but the tour itself doesn't start until you've had a chance to settle in.
The level of luxury ramps up quickly from there, when you wake up to a private chauffeured car waiting to take you to medieval San Gimignano, followed by Siena, where a tour guide takes you and your companions only for a walking tour of the city's history and art. You have a day to enjoy it at your own pace before being whisked away yet again—this time to Nipozzano Castle for a VIP lunch at the villa. Another eight hours of private car service gets you to your guide in Arezzo, then to Cortona. One more free day provides just the downtime you need before heading back home from Florence.
