Brazil from Rio de Janeiro to Paraty

Brazil is a country that moves you, quite literally. From the moment you arrive in Rio de Janeiro, the rhythms pull you in: the pulse of samba drifting from open doorways, the golden sweep of Copacabana Beach, the towering silhouette of Christ the Redeemer rising above clouds and city alike. This seven-day journey invites you to feel it all, from the mosaic-covered magic of the Selarón Stairs to the 360-degree panoramas atop Sugarloaf Mountain, with a small group of like-minded women who will quickly feel like lifelong friends.

Portugal from Lisbon to Porto

Portugal doesn't just charm you — it stops you in your tracks. It's the sound of a fado singer's voice rising through a candlelit room in Lisbon's Alfama, so raw and so beautiful that you forget to breathe. It's biting into a warm pastel de nata, its custard still trembling, on a cobblestone street while trams rattle past tiled facades in every shade of blue. This is a country that has been perfecting the art of living beautifully for centuries, and for seven magical days, you get to live it too.

Croatia's Dalmatian Coast

Picture yourself standing on Split's ancient Riva promenade as the Adriatic glows gold at sunset, a glass of local wine in hand, surrounded by a circle of women you just met but already feel like you've known forever. That is Croatia. From a city built inside a Roman emperor's palace to sun-warmed islands where medieval stone streets wind past lavender shops and family vineyards, every moment on this journey feels like something out of a dream.

Switzerland by Train

Imagine gliding through a landscape so beautiful it feels almost too perfect to be real. Snow-capped peaks reflected in turquoise lakes. Medieval castle towers rising from rocky island shores. Flower-crowned cows parading through valleys where waterfalls thunder from 1,000-foot cliffs. This is Switzerland in September, and you will experience it all from the comfort of some of the world's most spectacular trains.

London, Bath & the Cotswolds

England is a place that gets under your skin — a country where ancient history and everyday elegance exist side by side on every cobblestone street. Over eight unforgettable days, you will move through three of England's most beloved landscapes: the grand, buzzing energy of London, the serene Georgian beauty of Bath, and the dreamy, honey-colored villages of the Cotswolds.

Scandinavian Capitals: Stockholm & Copenhagen

Two of Europe's most beautiful capitals await you on this unforgettable journey through the heart of Scandinavia. Stockholm rises from 14 islands connected by graceful bridges, its golden light dancing on the water of the Baltic archipelago, its medieval streets perfumed with freshly baked cinnamon buns and strong dark coffee. Copenhagen glows with the warmth of hygge, that untranslatable Danish art of coziness, found in candlelit cafes, bike-filled boulevards, and the cheerful painted facades lining the Nyhavn waterfront.

Quebec City's French-Canadian Magic

Imagine stepping off the plane and into a city that feels unmistakably European, yet beats with a distinctly North American heart. Quebec City is a place where cobblestone lanes wind past centuries-old stone buildings, where the scent of fresh-baked croissants drifts from open café doors, and where the mighty St. Lawrence River stretches endlessly below ancient fortified walls. This is one of the most enchanting cities on the continent, and you are about to experience it in the very best way possible.

Burgundy & Provence River Cruise

Picture yourself gliding along the glassy waters of the Saône and Rhône rivers, a glass of Burgundy red in hand, as golden vineyards and medieval stone villages drift past your panoramic window. This is France at its most romantic and unhurried, and you will experience it all from the intimate comfort of a boutique river cruise ship designed for women who love beauty, history, and the pleasure of discovering something new every single day. From the moment you board in Lyon, every detail is taken care of so that all you have to do is soak it all in.

Galapagos Island Safari

Few places on Earth stop you in your tracks the way the Galápagos Islands do. This is a world where giant tortoises lumber past without a second glance, sea lions splash beside you in the shallows, and blue-footed boobies perform their courtship dances just feet from where you stand. On this extraordinary 10-day journey, you and your fellow travelers will explore one of the planet's last truly wild places, where wildlife has no fear of humans and every beach, lagoon, and volcanic trail holds something you have never seen before.
