CARIBBEAN
ISLANDS
Caribbean territories can be placed into five main physical groups – mountainous islands, limestone islands, volcanic islands, coral islands and low lying mainland countries. The mix of cultures and nationalities which make up the region give it a unique flavour. It's easy to meet the locals at events and festivals. The warm welcome and the service offered by the Caribbean people will enchant you. The Caribbean is the place where all the senses come to life.
ROAD TRIPS
Wherever you choose to drive, a road trip is the definition of the journey being just as valuable as the destination. Take in the sights, enjoy the snacks, and stay safe! It’s time to hit the road. Let our planners craft a custom road trip for you today.
EUROPE
Europe is a year-round destination, with varying climates across its many countries and regions. The best time to visit Europe depends on what type of experience you'd like to have during your trip, and which destinations you'll be visiting.
Summer is always a popular time to travel to Europe, when warm, sunny days lend themselves to exploring outdoors. In July, the average high temperature in London, England is in the 70s F—while in Rome, Italy the average high is in the 80s F. Some travelers prefer to travel during the spring and fall, when temperatures are more comfortable and popular sites tend to be less crowded.
Winter is also a wonderful time to take a European vacation. During this time of year, travelers can stroll through festive holiday markets, visit excellent museums, and settle in for tasty meals of seasonal specialties. To take the stress out of planning a winter trip, we even offer Europe trip packages specifically designed for visiting Christmas markets.
HAWAII
World-class beaches, pristine rainforests, and sizzling volcanoes are just a few things that make Hawaii a happening hotspot for tourists. Every Hawaiian Island has its own draw, making this state one that is filled with adventure and luxury no matter which way you turn.
ALASKA
There’s no denying it: Alaska is one of the most beautiful places on Earth, with endless opportunities for play year-round. Explore the great outdoors, participating in thrilling activities like glacier trekking or rafting or more relaxed ventures such as hiking, biking, fishing, camping, and simply immersing yourself in breathtaking wide-open spaces. Take a train ride, day cruise, or flightseeing tour for chances to spot wildlife, from bears to whales. Experience Alaska Native culture through cultural tours or festivals. And if you visit in winter, there’s skiing, snowboarding, dog sled tours, and more—and don’t miss watching the northern lights dance across the night sky. No matter how you choose to get around, from road trips, planes, trains, motorcoaches, or cruise ships, you’ll discover that the journey is all part of the adventure. Whether your journey leads you to the pristine beaches of the Hawaiian Islands or the wide open spaces of Alaska our trip planners are ready to make the journey one you'll never forget.
NORTH AMERICA
Being the third-largest continent in the world, North America is home to Mexico, Canada, and the United States. Because of its size, there are SO many things you can do on a trip to North America—hit the ski slopes in Canada, drive the California coastline, pound the pavement in NYC, catch some rays in Mexico, go scuba diving off the coast of Florida. There is a North American destination for every occasion and season—so many climates, landscapes, and hidden gems to see! You can literally hit the mountains, beaches, and desert all in one trip.
CENTRAL AMERICA
With cerulean seas and verdant forests, magnificent Maya ruins and smoking volcanoes, Central America is like a tropical fairy tale – except all of it is real.
Outdoor Adventures
Central America's seven countries plus Mexico's Yucatán and Chiapas states equal 300-plus volcanoes, two expansive tropical coasts and one giant adventure playground. Paddle deep into indigenous territories in a dugout canoe, or explore the remains of coastal Spanish forts. Zip through rainforest canopies, swim alongside sea turtles or trek to sublime cloud-forest vistas. Everywhere you go, you'll be accompanied by a wild cast of characters: a resplendent quetzal on the highland trail; an unruly troop of howler monkeys swinging through the canopy; and an unexpected, breaching whale right beside the ferry. Your adventures are limited only by your will.
Ruins
The Maya civilizations sprawled from Mexico to Honduras, leaving behind ruins in five present-day countries – four in Central America – where visitors can still step back and connect with an ancient and mysterious past. Explore the lost temples of Tikal, see jaguars carved to life at Copán, and ascend the pyramid at Caracol. Discover a culture that harks back 4000 years – the greatest pre-Columbian civilization – and still persists today.
Culture
Central America may take up less space than Texas, but its rich mix of people and cultures has created a diverse and dynamic society. With more than 20 Maya languages spoken, Guatemala is the region's indigenous heartland. The Spanish left their mark throughout with gorgeous colonial plazas, fervent beauty contests and silent hours of siesta. African culture permeates the Caribbean coast, from the Congo rebel traditions to lip-smacking rondón seafood gumbo. And the last century brought the rest of the world – Asians, Europeans, North Americans – along with a coat of modernity that dressed up Panama City into a contemporary capital.
Beaches
With chilled-out Caribbean vibes on one side and monster Pacific swells on the other, Central America is perched between the best of both beach worlds. From deserted playas to full-moon parties, this tiny region can deliver just about any sun-soaked experience that your inner beach bum desires. What's more, there's that magnificent, mysterious world that begins at the water's edge. Seize it by scuba diving with whale sharks in Honduras, snorkeling the world's second-largest coral reef in Belize, getting stoked on Costa Rica's world-class surf breaks, or setting sail among Panama's virgin isles. Hello, paradise.
