Get off the Golden Route in Japan
These unique itineraries take you beyond Japan’s crowded golden triangle and reveal the many different faces of Japan, from traditional festivals and indigenous Ainu culture on Hokkaido and Tohoku, to the contemporary splendour on Japan’s Art Islands and the serene temples and wonderful ceramics of verdant Kyushu.
Explore Italy’s regions
Get to know a different side of Italy and its massive cultural legacies by visiting its regions in 2026. The Apennines takes you up into Abruzzo, with its astounding medieval heritage, or visit the lands of the Savoy – the first kings of a unified Italy – in Turin, Genoa and Nice. For a taste of Italy’s modern face, the Venice Biennale offers the best contemporary art from around the world and takes you into places otherwise closed to the public.
Be surprised by Eastern and Central Europe
Fascinating histories abound in the formerly communist east, but you’ll also be surprised by the natural beauty of Romania in Transylvania and the Carpathian Mountains, the quiet modernity of the Baltic in Riga and Vilnius, or the cosmopolitanism of Krakow and Budapest. And crowds are still rare in these parts of Europe!
Enjoy the best of Europe’s classical music and Opera
Enjoy expert guidance at Europe’s exceptional classical music and opera festivals in 2026, from performances celebrating the life and legacy of Mozart in Salzburg and Vienna, to a feast of baroque music on Handel in Halle, and the chance to witness a new generation of classical talent, led by Joana Mallwitz and Klaus Mäkelä at the Baden-Baden Easter Festival.
