In 2024, travel to Europe remained strong as always, and Asia boomed. We saw increased travel for events, as well as increased travel spending overall. Swipe to see our predictions for where and how people will travel in 2025:

1. Travelers are looking for more personalized, high-end experiences. Instead of being on a large ship with over 2,000 fellow travelers, consider a smaller vessel that will be a more intimate experience. Travel around the world with only unpacking once, and visit more destinations that are not accessible by large cruise ships.

2. We predict all-inclusive resorts will boom next year as bigger hotel chains open new all-inclusive resorts for the first time. All-inclusive resorts are becoming more luxurious and high-end.

3. S.K.I., or "spending kids' inheritance," a term coined by booking.com to describe baby boomers' increased travel spending. Post pandemic, travelers are not putting off taking their bucket list trips.

4. Travelers aren’t necessarily going for destination “dupes” and skipping the popular destinations altogether, but are instead adding on a more off the beaten path destination after visiting a major city. After Paris, travel to Reims for a few days. After Tokyo, visit Fukuoka.

Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral is finally reopening! After almost 5 years of construction, the inside of the cathedral will be reopening to visitors starting December 8th. Following an inaugural week from December 8 to 15, Notre Dame will resume its daily schedule starting December 16. Entrance will remain free of charge.

Pictures are from a year ago when the cathedral was still under construction. A lot of exciting activities in Paris recently!

12/02/2024

Black Friday shopping isn't over yet. Tomorrow is Travel Tuesday, a term coined in recent years as research shows that some of the best travel deals of the year fall on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. We could see lower prices on cruises, hotels, tours, and potentially flights. There's no telling what sort of pricing we may see tomorrow, so if you've been thinking of taking a last minute trip, give us a call and we just may be able to get you a good deal.

Happy Thanksgiving! The office is closed this Thursday and Friday, see you Monday!

It's Christmastime in Paris!

Christmas is an incredible time to visit Paris with decorations and celebrations. Some of the best shopping is located in Place de la Concorde in which all the high end stores have their windows decorated for the holidays. There's so much to do this time of year from Christmas markets, to holiday displays and lights, to concerts and shows.

Bon appetit!

France is one of the best places you can travel for great food. Not only are the wine and cheese incredible, but be sure to try traditional French dishes such as escargot and oysters.

Miam miam!

Bonjour de Paris!

Rob is in Paris right now seeing the sites and visiting some museums. There are so many amazing museums in Paris, such as the Rodin museum pictured here where you can see famous works such as the Thinker and the Gates of Hell. Our advisors visit Paris time and time again and always find new museums to explore.

The Luxembourg Gardens are beautiful this time of year as well!

Our private guides will make sure you get high quality, actual Made in Turkey products, will help you haggle with pricing, and have great discounts with the best merchants. They will also help you find any type of shop or restaurant you are looking for in Istanbul’s many vibrant neighborhoods!

Natalie is in Istanbul all this week exploring the city in depth to bring expert personalized knowledge back to our clients! Whether as a cruise port stop or part of a land itinerary, Istanbul is an incredible city in Türkiye (Turkey) that bridges the continents of Europe and Asia and plays host to over 4000 years of cultural history.

If you only have one day in the city, you can easily see many amazing sites because the most popular attractions are a short walk from one another in the historical Sultanahmet district. Today I toured the Topkapi Palace, the Archaeological Museums, the Basilica Cistern, the Hagia Sofia, and the Hippodrome in just under 7 hours. Keep in mind that in high season lines and crowds will be larger so touring times will be longer. I recommend visiting off season in October-November!

Scenes from Rome 🇮🇹

Rome has some of the most popular attractions in the world including the Colosseum and the Vatican, plus a plethora of other important monuments.

If Rome is on your bucket list, we recommend squeezing a trip in before the end of the year or waiting until 2026, as 2025 will see a much higher than normal number of tourists.

10/30/2024

Spent the past two days exploring Florence and its many monuments, museums, and beautiful hotels. Some of the best art in the world is housed here, plus Florence is a great base for exploring some of the Tuscan hill towns.

Another beautiful city, and almost summer weather at the end of October!

10/28/2024

The first stop on the Italy trip is Venice!

Swipe to see a bunch of pictures of all the colorful canals. You could spend a whole day walking around and getting lost in all the picturesque canals and bridges. Or take a gondola ride for a different viewpoint.

New city tomorrow...

10/22/2024

Low price alert!

Italy’s Amalfi Coast is a very popular destination for next spring and summer, and 2025 will see higher pricing and more crowds than in previous years. Now is the time to book, as we are seeing lower than normal pricing. If you want your summer to look like this, don’t wait until next year to reserve.

With Christmas and New Years falling mid-week this year, many people are taking advantage of extra time off and planning extended trips. Swipe to see our ideas for making the most of your holiday break.

1. Paris and London. Both cities are beautifully decorated for the holidays, and a great choice for a shorter Europe trip. Choose one or the other, or take the Eurostar train to visit both

2. Ski trip. Whether you choose to ski in the U.S. or head to one of the fabulous resorts in the Alps, ski resorts have plenty of Christmas and New Years festivities.

3. All-inclusive resort. On the other end of the spectrum, escape the cold and relax at a resort in the Caribbean with perfect warm weather.

4. Scandinavia. December is peak northern lights season, and winter 2024-2025 is a solar maximum, meaning more intense and frequent northern lights than usual.

5. European Christmas market river cruise. Take a cruise on the Danube river and visit some of the famous Christmas markets in Germany and Austria. Travel and finish your Christmas shopping all in one.

How would you like to island hop through Greece via helicopter? Greece’s first scheduled helicopter airline has daily flights taking travelers to various islands, and to and from Athens in 45 minutes or less.

Ferries can take hours of travel. With incredible views of the islands at a lower price than a scheduled flight, helicopter travel is a win-win. Traveling through the Greek islands next summer is going to be so much easier and more fun!
