Cruise news

Launching 2023, the Svalbard Express’ summer journey will grace Norway’s coast and Svalbard, the northernmost community on earth, offering a host of experiences under a sun that never sets. In addition, The North Cape Express winter sailings take place during the Northern Lights season, with dog sledding and Arctic whale watching a must. See hurtigruten.com

Catalonia by car

Seeing as we Kiwis are prone to a good roadie, Catalonia’s new 13-day The Grand Tour should entice. Commencing in Barcelona and travelling through Catalonia by car, this new route was inspired by the “Grand Tours” of young English aristocrats from the mid-17th century onwards. Discover 2000km of castle-freckled landscapes, tapas, fine wine and the works of Dali, Picasso and Gaudi. Find out more at grandtour.catalunya.com/en
