NZ to Dubai: A multi-city journey

Explore diverse landscapes and cultures

Get ready, it’s time to spread your wings and explore the world. On this multi-city adventure, you’ll combine the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand and vibrant Sydney with the bustling streets of Bangkok and the opulent luxury of Dubai.

Start your journey in New Zealand’s North Island and land in Auckland. You’ll spend five days in NZ discovering the beaches of the incredible Bay of Islands on a kayak and hiking through the Abel Tasman National Park. Hop over to the South Island to walk the Franz Josef Glacier and head down to Queenstown to test your nerve on the epic Nevis bungy jump.

It’s then a short hop over to Sydney to see the sights (3 hours 20 minutes direct from Queenstown). Your four-day trip will take in the iconic Opera House and Harbour Bridge. You’ll relax on Bondi Beach, discover the foodie delights of Newtown, hop over to Manly on the ferry and meet the locals at Taronga Zoo.

Jump on your next flight and land in Bangkok (9 hours 34 minutes direct) for an adventure that takes in street food, the backpacker haven of Khaosan Road, the Grand Palace, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha and plenty of tuk tuk rides in and out of traffic for three days. The final leg of your journey sees you land in Dubai (6 hours 37 minutes) for three days spent shopping at world-class shopping malls, taking in the city from the top of the Burj Khalifa, and heading out into the desert for adventures.

Unlock your global adventure: Manchester to Tokyo

A cross-continental adventure with iconic US stops

The world is your oyster – and this is your itinerary! Who would've thought you could link Manchester's history with New York's energy, Chicago's architecture, LA's vibes, and Tokyo's culture?

Begin your journey in Manchester for a couple of days to experience the graffiti-covered streets of the Northern Quarter (it’s been used as a film set for New York plenty of times), explore the famous Science and Industry Museum and take in a Premier League match at Old Trafford or the Etihad. Then it’s a leap over the Atlantic to New York for the best of the Big Apple (7 hours 54 minutes direct from Manchester). On your three-day jaunt you’ll join the crowds in Times Square, climb to the top of the Empire State Building and grab a slice and a cocktail across the Brooklyn Bridge in Williamsburg.

Jump on your next flight for two days in Chicago (2 hours 44 minutes) for incredible architecture, museums and galleries (we love the Field Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago), and a taste of authentic deep dish pizza. Your next USA city takes in three days in LA (4 hours 30 minutes direct from Chicago) to walk the streets of Hollywood and its stars, enjoy a night out and some live music at the Whisky a Go Go, experience Santa Monica Pier and relax on the beaches of Malibu.

For the final leg of your trip, you’ll journey to Tokyo where tradition meets modernity. Get a little spiritual at the Meiji Shinto Shrine, learn some history at the Imperial Palace and join the throngs of people crossing the Shibuya Crossing. Don’t miss the ramen, soba noodles, sushi and sashimi.

Europe: Plan your city-hopping adventure

A European itinerary packed with culture, landscapes, and history

This multi-city break is all about the charms of Europe. London is your first port of call with three days spent soaking in history and iconic sights. When you’re in London for a few days, it’s time to do the classics. We’re talking clasping the gates at Buckingham Palace, strolling through Hyde Park, peeking at the doors of Downing Street, a few hours spent ogling the waxworks at Madame Tussauds and taking the city in from up high on the London Eye.

Then it’s over to the City of Love, Paris, (1 hour 20 minutes direct flight) for three days strolling along the Seine, marvelling at the delights of the Louvre, scaling the Eiffel Tower and going beneath the city at the Catacombs. Don’t forget to savour some pastries and some delectable French cuisine. Your next European city adventure is all about history with three days spent in Rome (2 hours 5 minutes from Paris). Tick off the Colosseum, Vatican City, the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain before settling down in a square for the best pizza you’ve ever tasted.

Finish your journey with three days in Amsterdam (2 hours 31 minutes direct flight from Rome). Hop on two wheels and do as the locals do and cycle along canals taking in the city at your own pace. Explore the lovely neighbourhood of Jordaan with its pretty canals, boutiques and restaurants. Visit Anne Frank House, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and the Heineken Experience. Take a load off in a traditional pancake house and reminisce about the trip you’ve just taken. And you can’t leave Amsterdam without sampling stroopwafel.
