After an extended closure during the pandemic New Zealand is open — and hot again as a destination! We’ve redesigned our previous itinerary to focus less on the thrill-seeing adventure activities in favor of the country’s excellent epicurean scene and some of its natural splendors. From Waiheke Island to Wellington, from Dunedin to Queenstown, this is a terrific cross-section of what this beautiful country has to offer.

Mexico City & Oaxaca

Then to Oaxaca city and its surrounding areas where Indigenous cultures prevail along with an outstanding arts & crafts scene, great restaurants, mezcal bars, colorful buildings, stunning churches, and a significant archeological site.
The Basque Lands
May 12–18, 2025
The Basque country is home to a fiercely independent people with an ancient language. Our itinerary reveals the delights of this region of Spain (and a smidgen of France) that is undeniably quite a bit unlike the rest of the country. The area is full of enticements — modern architecture, famous wine, renowned cuisine, history, and beaches to name just a few.
Cruising Norway
Join a Venture Out group aboard a 9-night luxury sailing to witness the summer splendor along the coast of Norway! We’ll depart out of Copenhagen and then cruise up the Norwegian coast on our intimate 188-passenger luxury ship completing our journey above the Arctic Circle! Gaze upon soaring craggy mountains, UNESCO-listed fjords, glaciers, and quiet seaside villages. Ports of call include famous Bergen, the Lofoten Islands, Kristiansund’s rare preserved stave churches from the Middle Ages, and many other points of interest!
