After two years of recurring lock downs and international restrictions, research shows that travelers are prepared to “go big” on their next trip in 2023. And that doesn’t just mean the length of the trip, or the distance traveled, but it also means upping the ante when it comes to the quality of their experiences and accommodations too. Travelers are now looking to make up for lost time with premium trips that will help them tick off their bucket list adventures.
WHALE WATCHING
2. Wildlife-spotting Adventures
There’s no denying that the C-virus has changed our relationship with nature. Over the past two years, getting out in nature has been a source of solace for many, heightening our appreciation for local parks, green spaces and even wildlife spotting. So, it doesn’t surprise us that some of our most loved wildlife adventures are becoming increasingly popular now that international borders are opening.
If you’re drawn to destinations boasting rich biodiversity and unique landscapes, you can snorkel with curious Sea lions off the coast of San Cristobal on a Galapagos voyage or spot Pink dolphins and Scarlet macaws on our brand-new premium cruise in the Amazon. As your guide to 2023 adventures, we’d also recommend to discover Costa Rica, South America Amazon or Africa!

4. Active Travel
During the pandemic, cycling became more popular than it has been in decades, with people in their thousands taking to the streets and their local parks to explore on two wheels. Bike sales soared so much that bike shops across the USA reported that they were running low on stock! But of course, not everyone relishes the challenge of constant uphill climbs, and this is where climate-friendly electric bikes (e-bikes) come in. Offering a winning compromise between effort and reward,
E-Bike vacations have been increasing in popularity, and we think they’re going to be big for 2023.
With a great selection of trips where you can add an e-bike to your cycling adventures you can; enjoy that extra boost on challenging rides through tea estates on the Sri Lanka trip; catch your breath by letting your e-bike do some of the work along the 140 mile section of of the Camino de Santiago route or gain some added momentum while climbing up Hellshoogte’ (Hell’s Heights) during the Cape and Winelands adventure.
