So, if you have a case of wanderlust (don’t we all?), here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming in 2026. Let the travel planning begin.
Eager to cross "witness the Northern Lights" off your bucket list? This tour is perfect for you. Venture into the heart of the Canadian Rockies and Yukon—an ideal spot for aurora sightings—while enjoying luxurious stays at Fairmont hotels and ample opportunities to immerse yourself in nature.
“Not many people go to the Yukon, but it’s one of the best places to see the aurora,” says Vinette, one of our awesome tour designers. We trust her on this one.
Imagine otherworldly landscapes, lava fields, waterfalls, and cozy Icelandic villages—all with a chance to see the Northern Lights overhead. This is Iceland in full dramatic, wintery glory.
Start with a couple of nights exploring Oslo, then hop aboard the Hurtigruten MS Trollfjord for a cruise up Norway’s rugged coastline. You’ll pass by the stunning Lofoten Islands and, if you’re lucky, catch the Northern Lights from the ship’s deck.
Think twinkling lights, charming towns, and festive cheer. From Boston to the White Mountains of New Hampshire and the coast of Rhode Island, this holiday tour gives off all the cozy vibes.
NYC never gets old—and this tour digs deeper. You’ll hit up Manhattan’s classic spots, then cross the river to explore the hip, creative energy of Brooklyn. One hotel stay keeps it chill and easy.
“There’s so much more to NYC than just the usual sights,” says Ariana, one of our product designers. She’s not wrong.
This one’s all about color, culture, and wide-open landscapes. From Sedona’s red rocks to the artsy streets of Santa Fe, you’ll also get to connect with Native American history—like exploring Canyon de Chelly with a Diné guide and visiting ancient Puebloan cliff dwellings.
