The United Kingdom offers four distinct countries in one destination, each with its own character and charm. Experience living history as you walk cobblestone streets where Shakespeare once strolled, sip tea in centuries-old cafés, or stay in castles where royalty once slept.
Discover award-winning farm-to-table dining, fresh coastal seafood, traditional afternoon teas, and authentic international cuisine. What makes the UK truly special is its incredible accessibility. Few destinations pack such variety into manageable distances. Imagine boarding a sleeper train in London and waking up to the breathtaking views of the Scottish Highlands.
The landscapes will captivate you, from the misty Scottish Highlands and emerald Welsh valleys to the white cliffs of Dover and the serene Lake District. While iconic attractions await there are endless hidden gems that will make your experience unforgettable. The UK offers new stories, views, and flavors around every corner, which explains why visitors return again and again.
Ireland may be split politically between Northern Ireland (part of the UK) and the Republic of Ireland, but the entire island delivers an unforgettable experience. Its compact size means you can drive from vibrant cities to dramatic coastlines to charming villages all in the same day, making it perfect for travelers who want variety without constant hotel changes.
Ireland is a good mix of stunning landscape, ancient castles, live music at the local pub, history and postcard worthy views. You can immerse yourself in the natural beauty by hiking, cycling and kayaking. If that's not your travel style, instead you could soak in the views with a scenic drive on part of the Wild Atlantic Way.
For a small island, Ireland has so much to offer. Whether you're tracing your ancestry, following in literary giants' footsteps or simply seeking the legendary Irish welcome, Ireland is the place for you.
Hawaii enchants visitors with its blend of natural wonders and cultural richness. The islands boast pristine beaches with powdery white sand and turquoise water. Lagoons and wave breaks mean you don't have to be a surfer to enjoy the Pacific Ocean. Venture inland and you will discover lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls that create natural swimming pools. The dramatic volcanic landscapes offer a unique experience. Glowing lava flows and vast craters serve as reminders of the powerful forces that created these islands.
Experience the "aloha" spirit with an authentic luau celebrating ancient traditions or by simply visiting with the locals while discovering the Islands by car. Visitors can choose the vacation that best suits them. You can lounge by the pool, sunbath on the beach, swim in the ocean, go on a hike with breathtaking vistas or island-hop to experience each island's unique character.
From the vibrant energy of Waikiki to the lush solitude of Kauai's Napali Coast, Hawaii offers endless possibilities for both relaxation and adventure. Hawaii is a destination that promises unforgettable memories for every type of traveler.
Cruising is a great way to both relax and see the world. You're able to visit new places without constantly unpacking and repacking your suitcase. Imagine yourself waking up to a different horizon each morning or sipping a cocktail while watching the sunset over the ocean.
Cruise ships are like resorts with everything you could possibly want. You'll never be bored with pools, hot tubs, waterslides, Broadway-style shows, comedy clubs, and casinos all at your fingertips. Then there's the food, from casual buffets open practically 24/7 to fancy multi-course dinners. Many ships now have celebrity chef restaurants, incredible cocktail bars, and specialty dining experiences that will blow your mind.
When you dock at each port, that's when the real adventure begins. One day you could be snorkeling in crystal clear waters, the next exploring ancient ruins and then sampling authentic local cuisine at a waterfront café. You can take an excursion if you're looking to experience that destination more or you can walk around to see where the day takes you. After a day of exploring you get to go back to your ship where your bed is made, fresh towels await, and you can just relax. It's like having all the best parts of travel without any of the hassle.
