Travel Ideas
Ready to get away but not sure what path to take
So many choices, and so little time
Trip of a lifetime
Consider the Possibilities!
The trip you have dreamed of all your life. Think bucket list or celebrating a milestone. Exotic destinations come to mind, such as Southern Africa, where a safari at Chobe National Park or along the Chobe River is a must.
Pick your transportation to view the wildlife by jeep or a river boat. Or a hike through the wild on the lookout for wildlife. At night, look up at the darkest skies you have ever seen; the stars look like jewels you could pull from the sky.
Finish off the trip with a stop in Johannesburg to dig deeper into the history of South Africa’s culture; if you are a wine connoisseur, visit the Winelands outside of Cape Town and take the wine train. Cape Town is scenic, offering fantastic views from its mountains and coastline.
River Cruising
Explore the Countryside
Cruise on the river, experiencing breathtaking views of beautifully landscaped vineyards and ancient castles.
Enjoy your favorite drink, relax with friends and family, and capture the scents of the day as you sail on the enticing river.
European River cruising is a fantastic way to experience local culture; you can avoid the crowds of large cities, as the boats do not have to dock at huge ports. European ports are home to numerous wineries and impressive wine cellars, offering a chance to taste wines you may not have known existed.
You can take a hike or go biking. What a great way to explore. Some ships provide the bikes; you only have to show up and take the bike for a spin. River cruising is very popular in Europe, but for those who prefer the exotic, it’s a great way to experience Africa and Asia.
River Cruising is an intimate way to experience the world unhurriedly.
Ocean Cruising
A Taste of It All
Ocean cruising takes you to countries, and you get a taste of each culture. It’s a great way to experience the world and enjoy entertainment along the way. Luxury and upscale cruises truly have it all. Fewer passengers and more service and amenities. Yes, Please.
Big blue oceans abound with sea salt and mesmerizing waves as you move from one city or country to the next on an ocean cruise. Upscale cruises offer exquisite meals, exceptional wines, or your favorite cocktail. You will find high-end restaurants that would cost much more in a major city. You get to dress up or go for a shabby chic look; the choice is yours!
Entertainment that can compete with Broadway; in fact, Broadway shows are available at times. Shop for upscale clothing or magnificent art. There is a wealth of options available on a deluxe or luxury cruise. Have time to spare; there is nothing like a world cruise? No cooking, no stressing, just enjoying the journey as you travel to exciting destinations worldwide.
Well-Being Small Group Travel for Women
Downtime for the Busy Women
Ladies, sometimes we need to get away and take time for ourselves
We plan short and long journeys that incorporate unique experiences, with a touch of indulgence and a focus on food, wine, art, and wellness – but any passion will do. Bring your group to us.
I often hear women say they want to travel, but they do not because of the following;
- Their spouse does not want to travel
- They do not want a roommate, but also do not want to travel alone
- They can never get their friends to travel at the same time
- They are looking for like-minded women to travel with
- They want to feel safe and travel with someone they can trust
Pampered Journeys can help. We want to help you take time for yourself, and definitely bring your “Pampitude ®.” It is your time to take care of yourself!
Escorted Land Tours
For The “I Don’t Want to Think About It” Crowd
There are several reasons people enjoy this type of journey. Some people don’t want to worry about getting from A to B, and escorted tours are ideal for this type of traveler.
Escorted tours are ideal for individuals who prefer traveling with a group for added security. A guide travels with the group and ensures everything runs smoothly; this is especially beneficial for single women.
Families traveling with children appreciate the ease of escorted tours, especially moms who generally plan the trip. They don’t have to wake up to hear, “What are we doing today?” as someone has already planned the day. They can enjoy the trip too.
Escorted tours are not for everyone, but there are luxury and deluxe companies that can provide unique tours and allow for more flexibility. They can offer exciting activities where you can meet and greet famous people, top chefs, and much more. Providing activities that you would not be able to access on your own. Before you nix an escorted tour, remember there are all kinds, just as there are all kinds of travelers, and there is something for everyone.
Wellness Travel
Disconnect and Reconnect
Wellness Travel is one of the fastest-growing segments of the travel industry. Not surprisingly, as more people become aware that taking care of your entire being is the secret sauce to living a long, healthy, and fulfilling life. People are seeking ways to maintain their health or improve it. Who is Wellness Travel for?
Frankly, Wellness Travel is for anyone committed to caring for their entire being, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Wellness Travel can encompass weight loss and nutrition, fitness, relaxation, and pampering, as well as maintaining an already healthy lifestyle. Wellness travel can also support emotional well-being. We live in a society where people are constantly under stress. There is more research every day to suggest that stress can be the underlying factor in many chronic diseases.
