Travel to remarkable sites near and far

Verona

Filled with Roman ruins and medieval architecture, Verona has remained virtually untouched for 2,000 years, making it a pristine example of history and a highlight of any Italian holiday. See its Roman Arena and the sites so romantic that they inspired Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.

The Rhine Gorge

Idyllic waterside villages and steep slopes adorned in terraced vineyards are hallmarks of the stunning Middle Rhine. This UNESCO-listed region showcases a unique cultural landscape that is best appreciated while sailing down the River Rhine, on one of our luxury cruises. 

Agra

Three UNESCO World Heritage sites await your discovery in the incredible city of Agra in northern India. See centuries-old examples of Mughal architecture, including the red sandstone Agra Fort, the town of Fatehpur Sikri, and the love letter in white marble itself, the Taj Mahal.

Great Barrier Reef

Looking to nature for inspiration, the Great Barrier Reef is a UNESCO-listed site that is as colourful as it is significant. While touring Australia, cruise its crystalline waters to see thousands of species of coral, fish, mollusks and marine life - the ocean at its finest.

Carcassonne

Wrapped in fortified walls, Carcassonne brims with centuries of history. This French city has been occupied since before the Romans and has retained its charms with careful preservation efforts. Admire its 52 towers, ancient city gates, 12th-century castle, Basilica of Saint Nazaire and romantic Canal du Midi.

Mount Fuji & Kyoto

With deep cultural roots and heritage, Japan is awash in impressive UNESCO World Heritage sites. Among these include the historical monuments of the ancient city of Kyoto, long noted as Japan's imperial capital, and Mt Fuji, whose snow-capped peak stands as a symbol of the nation.

Ha Long Bay

Find yourself captivated by Ha Long Bay, with its calm emerald waters and limestone islands, in Vietnam. This UNESCO-listed bay is seemingly frozen in time, with caves and karsts creating a memorable backdrop as you drift amongst a seascape of floating villages, fishing boats and untouched landmasses.

Salzburg

Salzburg, Austria, is a city bursting with history and storybook delights. Its historic centre is UNESCO recognised and holds an array of stunning sites, including Hohensalzburg Fortress, the Salzburg Cathedral and the Residenz Palace. A blend of architectural styles weaves a tapestry of intrigue for any holiday.
