chill out journeys

For a beach getaway that’s truly off the beaten track, look no further than Brazil’s brilliant coastal retreats. Relax in the sun on a palm-fringed beach, sipping a caipirinha, or paddle out for some fantastic surf. Perfect for a ‘sun, sea and sand’ trip with a real difference – leave it all behind on a Brazilian beach.

Visit the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu and then travel by luxury train and aeroplane to the port of Iquitos. From here, cruise down the Amazon, deep into the rainforest. Relax on deck to the sound of the jungle wildlife, as you pass caimans, monkeys and giant otters, and experience the beauty and tranquillity of the rainforest.

The ideal trip whether you’re a connoisseur or just enjoy a glass or two. Take a wine tour of beautiful Argentina and stay in a specialist lodge in Mendoza, the country’s wine capital, surrounded by dozens of leading vineyards. Take in the rugged landscapes and lush valleys of Argentina on this fantastic, leisurely trip.

Cruise some of the world’s most tranquil and exotic regions. Experience tropical seas and remote islands in a huge range of destinations from Tahiti to the Caribbean, or the Far Eastern coastlines of Thailand and Malaysia. Soak up the laid-back atmosphere onboard and treat yourself to a supremely relaxing Star Clipper cruise.
