EUROPE HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
European vacations aren’t one-size-fits-all – nor should they be! Europe offers something special for everyone, whether you’re there to relax, to adventure, to indulge… or all of the above.
There are no rules around how you approach your European adventure, but in particular, it’s perfect for:
ROMANTIC GETAWAYS
When most of us think about a romantic trip, we tend to think of timeless favorites, such as Paris or Venice. And while those are always a great choice, Europe has so much more to offer – both on and off the beaten path.
Enjoy a private boat tour on Italy’s Lake Como, taste the famous Port wine offered by wineries along Portugal’s beautiful Douro Valley, or walk hand-in-hand in one of many beautifully maintained gardens in Malta.
When it comes to romantic destinations, Europe will leave you spoiled for choice!

SOLO TRAVEL
Travelers are discovering the freedom and authentic experiences that can only come with solo travel. While it may initially feel daunting to travel without your family or friends, you’ll soon find that you are interacting with people more, trying new things, and experiencing the local culture in a way you might not have done otherwise.
Solo travel can be the adventure you’ve always dreamed of or the meditation trip you’ve been needing – or maybe a mix of both.
The great thing is… you decide!

TOURS AND CRUISES
Escorted tours, river cruises, and Mediterranean cruises are a wonderful way to explore Europe. Simply show up at your cruise port or meeting point and be whisked away into fanciful landscapes and Old World cities.
One of the best things about joining a land tour or a cruise is that there are so many different options – from amenities offered to destinations and themes. The various tour and cruise companies are designed to suit your style, letting you simply come and enjoy your European vacation.
