The Polar Bear Migration tour: 9 astounding days

Isn't this your dream holiday or isn't this your dream holiday? If there was one tour that I would pick of all others, it would probably be The Polar Bear Migration. The annual Polar Bear migration occurs along the coast of the Hudson Bay in October. It is one of the world’s most wonderful natural phenomena and this tour has secured accommodation for two exclusive groups to see this amazing spectacle.

This spectacular trip goes out in October trip with one of our extremely high quality operators, Balesworldwide.

Are fortnight holidays dying out?

No longer are holidaymakers packing their bags for a two-weeks away, according to industry news source Travelmole, who say that the average family now takes approximately four short breaks a year. This poll, undertaken by Holiday Inn, clams that just over half of the 5,000 Brits who took part in the survey say they definitely would not be going on a two-week summer holiday this year.

It begs to be mentioned that this still leaves almost half of the participants not saying that they won't be going away for two weeks! And while as far as escorted tours are concerned there is a great choice for short-breaks and European trips that involve less flying time, our customers often really like to get to grips with a destination.

Cycling tours

From leisurely paced cycling through the Loire Valley in France, to arduous off-road biking towards Kathmandu in Nepal, whatever kind of two-wheeling you prefer, there is a holiday for you. If it's white-knuckle exhilaration you're after, you can have it. If it's a relaxing pedal through pretty provinces you want, you've got it. Whatever your preference, there are many cycle tours that will make your head spin with giddiness as much as the wheels!

Cycling tours can enable you to do and see a lot more in a day than you might manage on foot, and some are fairly non-stop action affairs, while many are on smooth, easy terrain with plenty of resting. 

Egyptology: 15 days from £1,545

Featured destination: Uzbekistan

Are you looking for a destination that is steeped in culture and legacy, and that played host to hoards of conquerors and nomads, but is highly unlikely to be cited on your neighbour's list of this year's 'getaways'? Uzbekistan, in the heart of Central Asia, is the place to go if you're looking for something different this year. Visitors are still few and far between, yet with its Silk Road setting, the country offers a wealth of historical context as well as fascinating sights and scenery.

The Uzbekistan landscape consists of flat-to-rolling sandy desert with dunes broad, splendid river valleys along course of Amu Darya, Syr Darya (Sirdaryo), and Zarafshon.

The Great Silk Road: a classic tour

If there is one trip you must make in a lifetime, it is a classic tour taking in some of the most interesting sights of the Silk Road. Known as the greatest trading route between east and west, Silk Road tours can take you right back in time through the pages of history, to explore and marvel at the ancient cities and sights that unfold before you.

Escorted tours and private tours for these epic journeys, often beginning at Beijing, can really excel themselves, and some can include even detours off to Everest base camp and the Himalayas. Many focus on China, but other tours include lesser visited countries like Uzbekistan and their very important trading cities in Silk Road history.
