Top 10 Travel Destinations
1. Get a behind the scenes look at the magic of the Hermitage, St. Petersburg
Get an insider’s view of one of the world’s great art collections. Step behind closed doors for privileged access to the restoration and exhibit centre, and see how the Hermitage stores their growing collection of exhibits and examine some of the priceless objects d’art gifted to Russian Royalty by countries from around the world.
2. Catch your dinner on a King Crab Safari, Norway
Harvest an Arctic giant from the seas on a thrilling adventure on the pristine waters of Sarnesfjorden to catch your own king crab. A crab from these waters can measure six feet between its claws and weigh 10kg, but more commonly weigh in around 2-6kg. Back ashore, feast on your catch – typically served on a wooden board with a lemon wedge, a slice of bread and a dollop of mayonnaise.
3. Explore the hidden secrets of the Doge’s Palace, Venice
The striking design of the Doge’s Palace dominates the cityscape of Venice. However, this stunning building harbours secrets. Hidden doors lead off from the opulent public rooms to dark and windowless corridors. It’s here, in these simple, secret rooms that Venetian justice and order were once maintained.
4. Explore the creations of Gaudí on the streets of Barcelona
Witness the evolution of Antoni Gaudí’s creative genius as you tour some of his distinctive works from Casa Vicens, the first project for which the world-renowned architect was commissioned at just 30 years of age to his unfinished masterpiece, La Sagrada Família.
5. Combine two ancient Chinese traditions in Hong Kong
Martial arts and a dim sum breakfast seem a strange partnership. However, the graceful flow of the ancient martial art of tai chi – under the guidance of a master – lends itself to the traditional ritual of dim sum invented by imperial chefs to please the dowager empress of the Qing Dynasty.
6. The opulence of the Schönbrunn Palace is waiting to be discovered

7. Two French favourites not to be missed
Sample two of the Beaujolais’ most beloved culinary treasures, a light bodied red wine and the rich earthy flavour of truffles — an irresistible combination. Enjoy a private wine tasting in a medieval era wine cellar, and then watch a traditional hunt for the “diamonds of the kitchen” – the black truffle.
8. Mush with the best in Alaska
Mush through the Alaskan wilderness and experience the power and enthusiasm of the fastest long-distance runners in the world with the world-renowned Iditarod mushers, winners of an impressive seven Iditarods. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how mushers and dogs train for the Iditarod; known as the “Last Great Race.”
9. Cruise the mighty stretches of the Mekong Delta by Sampan
Known as the rice bowl of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta is a world where boats, homes and markets float upon the myriad of waterways that criss-cross the landscape.

Be on the lookout for children playing in the water or fishermen casting their nets; and explore the busy markets of Sa Ðéc.
10. Wander the heavenly lavender fields of Provence
Lavender season in Provence is Europe’s answer to Japan’s cherry blossom mania. The legendary lavender that graces the fields of Provence each summer provides a beautiful fragrant back drop as you explore the countryside admiring the sweeping views of lush fields of purple.
