Travel Trends: 2025
Over the last two years Japan has been a hotspot for Australian holiday makers, with its wide appeal across the demographics, and being well serviced by the airlines. In 2025, it will remain a favourite destination, along with Sri Lanka, as well as evergreen favourites USA and Canada, the UK and The Mediterranean.
Travel style / interest trends of recent times have shown our desire to relax and revitalise and this has seen the slow rise in wellness resorts and locations, many will head to Rome this year for the 2025 Holy Year, and to Vienna celebrating the 200th birthday of Strauss.
This year, my prediction is as follows:
The re-emergence of Egypt including a Nile River cruise of course!
Antarctica will continue to attract great interest, including the rise of the non-expedition voyages including those by Princess Cruises & Celebrity Cruises.
All things Disney in Asia including a voyage of Disney Adventure & a visit to Disneyland Hong Kong.
Cruising, but not as we know it.
Think superyachts (Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton), sailing ships eg. Sea Cloud, Windstar, Running on Waves, small ship charters (a barge in France, a friends group in Croatia).
River cruises to less-cruised destinations:
Think Amawaterways South Africa, Aqua Expeditions Mekong or Amazon, Viking Mississippi or The Great Lakes USA.
Multi-generational family and Multi-family groups
A great way to make memories to share with your friends and family for a life time.
Hiring villas, chartering small ships, golf & shopping tours, unique moments and activities at the destination, are all special ways to curate an amazing time together. Why not add in all the extras to ensure a stress free break for everyone. Private chefs, butlers, porters, helicopter transfers, catering, sports car rental, tickets to attractions, and even Family games guided by experts can all be pre-arranged.
