If you love the idea of unpacking just once but waking up in a new destination every day — a river cruise could be your dream holiday. Think gliding past vineyard-clad hillsides, docking in the heart of historic towns, and sipping wine on the top deck as medieval castles drift by. River cruising offers a more intimate, immersive, and peaceful alternative to ocean cruises — with all the luxury, but none of the crowds.
If you’ve ever dreamed of hearing lions roar at sunset, watching elephants cross the savannah, or waking up to birdsong in the African bush — a safari holiday should be at the top of your bucket list. Safari holidays are more than just a holiday. They’re an unforgettable journey into some of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth, where the wildlife is wild, the skies are vast, and every day feels like a scene from a nature documentary.
If you love the idea of ticking off multiple sights, soaking up local culture, and having everything organised for you — all while someone else does the driving — a touring holiday might just be your perfect match. Whether it's a scenic coach trip through the Italian lakes, a cultural deep-dive through Japan, or a road trip across the USA, touring holidays offer a stress-free, immersive way to explore the world.
If your idea of a perfect holiday involves a bit more adrenaline than a sun lounger and a cocktail, adventure travel might just be your next obsession. From volcano hiking in Costa Rica to kayaking through Norwegian fjords, today’s travellers are swapping spa robes for walking boots and chasing experiences that challenge, inspire, and change the way we see the world.
August is one of the most popular months for travel – and for good reason. School’s out, the sun’s shining across Europe and beyond, and there’s a buzz in the air wherever you go. Whether you’re craving beach bliss, cultural treasures, or once-in-a-lifetime adventures, here are our top 5 destinations to consider for your August getaway.

In fact, with a few thoughtful choices, you can have a fabulous, feel-good holiday that leaves a lighter footprint on the planet — and an even bigger impression on your heart. Here’s how to travel sustainably without compromising comfort:
