Navigating the cruise scene is no mean feat, so let’s start by getting to know our on-the-water favourites.
Our curated collection of holidays
From family-oriented forays to the leading ski areas whatever the ability level, our handpicked collections showcase the best destinations, lodgings and all-round trip types to inspire and curate your next adventure.
We see the world as a cornucopia of possibilities, because after all, everyone’s definition of a holiday is different. Especially when there’s tots, tweens and teens in tow.
It’s as though Mother Nature couldn’t decide which environs she loved most. Wildlife, winelands and desert – yes – the image conjured with those three words is surely one of Africa. While this trio are what put the region on the map for adventurous twosomes, families certainly aren’t left out of this brilliant and diverse continent.
Searing Martian deserts and visionary futuristic cities, all with an underlying pulse of Arab tradition. You’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else that brings the same level of exquisitely clashing and boredom-busting landscapes straight out of a sci-fi novel than cutting-edge Arabia.
It’s all idyllic landscapes, take-it-easy vibes and tales of buried pirate treasure in the Caribbean… at least, that’s what the newbies think. But those in the know, they see that not all of these islands are cut from the same cloth.
Europe is timeless. From the still vivid paintings of Knossos Palace’s walls all the way to Marrakech’s spirited Medina, it’s the continent’s history and that of its neighbouring countries of the Maghreb that fascinate and draw in.
Splashing around in expanses of glittery bath-warm water and being surrounded by A-grade sandcastle mortar. That sounds like childhood holiday ideals – that sounds like the Indian Ocean.
There’s no sitting still in North America. In fact, it could turn the most docile of dynasties into get-up-and-goers. Yet depending on where you end up, there’s a different definition of high-octane – particularly in the trifecta of California, Canada and Florida.
The swell of pride watching your rosy-cheeked little one glide down the nursery slopes, the stunned joy as they open the door to a festive elf, the playful arguments over who gets the last dip of fondu. Everyone’s definition of a winter holiday is different, but it can’t be denied, there’s nothing quite like filling lungs with crisp air while the sun turns the ground to tinsel.
Going on holiday with your family is the perfect opportunity to relax and spend quality time together. So why not experience a luxury getaway where everything is completely taken care of? Our curated selection of hotels and resorts that offer all-inclusive holidays will allow you to truly unwind and make the most of your family adventure.
We know the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your family has the space, privacy and security of interconnecting, interleading or adjoining rooms. Many of our luxury hotels and resorts offer these options throughout the year and there are also often exceptional savings to take advantage of on second rooms for children.
From the best interconnecting rooms to entire villas and chalets, we've handpicked the finest luxury rooms, suites and villas for you and your family with space, location and benefits in mind.
For the serious slope-skimmers, dedicated après-skiers, and the winter wonderland wanderers in-between.
Whether it be a traditional log cabin aesthetic or a sleek modern take on alpine homes, luxe lodge and private chalet living spells freedom of the most intimate and luxurious kind.
Enjoy the ultimate in ski convenience by having the best runs on your doorstep in our selection of the best ski-in, ski-out hotels. Whether its straight out onto the slopes or a quick slide away, the enviable locations piste-side mean the breathtaking snow-covered surroundings are right there whenever they take your fancy.
Challenging black runs, exhilarating off-piste terrain, spending the day searching for untouched powder with the chance to create virgin tracks; these are the preserve of the expert skier.
Zipping through the pristine wilderness of the Rockies or Alps is freedom enough, but add the plunge from a helicopter onto remote, untouched champagne powder into the mix, and liberation is taken to another plain.
Sometimes nothing quite beats the sound of silence; whether it be for the nervous newbies or seasoned pros who want to get away from the crowds, nobody can say the quiet ones aren’t fun.
Dedicated nursery slopes, a wide array of green and blue runs and, of course, excellent ski schools are a must for your first ski holiday.
Excellent ski schools and kids' clubs combined with dedicated nursery slopes and children's zones on the piste allow parents to explore the surrounding area themselves in the knowledge that the young ones are being well-cared for on the snow.
Cruising blues and a wide variety of more challenging red runs are the Intermediate skiers’ idyll. Combine these with a seamless lift system and groups of mixed abilities can ski at their level and still meet on the mountain for lunch.
