From the bright lights of the city that never sleeps to the lush, laid-back beaches of the Caribbean—think rooftop cocktails one day, toes-in-the-sand sunsets the next.

Sip your way through South Africa’s stunning winelands, chase sunsets on safari, then fly off to Mauritius for palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs, and luxury island vibes.

6. KENYA + PEMBA ISLAND:
Witness the Great Migration on a thrilling Kenyan safari, then drift away to Pemba Island’s pristine beaches, coral reefs, and turquoise waters—a wild-to-wonderful escape.

7. INDIA + BHUTAN:
Dive into India’s vibrant chaos—colourful markets, majestic palaces, and rich spices—then find peace in Bhutan’s serene monasteries, Himalayan landscapes, and soul-soothing calm.

From Bangkok’s buzzing street life, golden temples, and rooftop bars to Bali’s lush jungles, rice terraces, and dreamy beach clubs—culture meets tropical cool.

Sail along Croatia’s dazzling Adriatic coast, explore medieval towns, then head south to Montenegro’s dramatic mountains, luxe beach resorts, and fjord-like bays.
