Fiji, Australasia Page 11
Antarctica Page 33
With many opportunities to explore the White Continent in unique ways, your Antarctica journey can be perfectly tailored to you. Whether you’re drawn to the adventure of a cruise through pristine, untouched wilderness or prefer land-based experiences in this icy wonderland, towering blue glaciers and sculpture-like icebergs form an awe-inspiring backdrop.
Fiji is a real-life dream. This South Pacific archipelago of over 300 islands is surrounded by miles of cerulean waters and offers powder-white sands, crystal-clear lagoons, and a delicate ecosystem carefully protected by those fortunate enough to call it home. Scuba dive or snorkel through Fiji’s vibrant coral reefs and experience warm Fijian hospitality, an authentic encounter where both jungle and relaxation is guaranteed.
Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean Page 48
Oman, Middle East Page 61
Sri Lanka is a captivating island, home to vibrant forests, ancient ruins, and colourful cities. With eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a culture rich in deep-rooted traditions, its relatively compact size makes it an easy and rewarding destination to explore. Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or simply seeking serene relaxation, you’ll find something here for you.
Oman is a seamless blend of old and new, bursting with authentic traditions and modern flair. Unlike its glamorous neighbours in the UAE, Oman’s charm lies in its dramatic desert landscapes, rugged mountains, and timeless natural beauty. With over 3,000 km of coastline, it captivates visitors seeking both adventure and tranquillity. The country’s slower pace of life and commitment to cultural and environmental preservation make it a truly unique destination.

A charming corner of the world, Australasia is the perfect destination for adventurous travellers and relaxed holiday makers alike. From Fiji’s pristine white-sand beaches to New Zealand’s dramatic landscapes and Australia’s remarkable wildlife, the region overflows with unforgettable destinations waiting to be explored.

SPOTLIGHT ON
Tucked away in the sparkling embrace of the Andaman Sea, Phuket is Thailand’s glistening pearl, a sun-drenched island where vibrant street markets, golden temples, and postcard-perfect beaches collide in a kaleidoscope of culture and colour. We’ve shone a spotlight on Phuket’s must-see sights, hidden gems, and unforgettable flavours, guiding you through an island escape that’s as rich in history as it is in natural beauty. Whether you’re chasing adventure or pure relaxation, Phuket promises an experience you won’t soon forget.
When to go and what to see: Phuket basks in sunshine and generally dry weather for most of the year, with the exception of two rainy spells in May and September. While the island enjoys a tropical climate year-round, the period from March to May marks the peak of the Thai summer, when soaring temperatures blanket the region in intense heat. Big Buddha Towering 45 meters high atop Nakkerd Hill, the Big Buddha is one of Phuket’s most iconic landmarks. The panoramic views over the island are as impressive as the serene atmosphere surrounding this spiritual site. Phuket’s Old Town Wander the charming streets lined with colourful buildings, quirky cafes, and bustling markets. Old Phuket Town offers a blend of colonial history, local culture, and vibrant street art that’s perfect for a relaxed afternoon. Phi Phi Islands Just a short boat ride away, these postcard-per- fect islands are known for their turquoise waters, stunning cliffs, and vibrant marine life. Snorkelling, swimming, or just soaking in the scenery make for an unforgettable day trip.
Where to eat: Phuket is a melting pot of cultures, as the result of its history as a commercial trading port that drew visitors from far and wide. These influences have filtered down into Phuket’s food, which offers a host of unique eateries and dishes. Pru European cuisine blended with locally sourced Thai produce, this sustainably focused Michelin-star restaurant embodies everything that Phuket stands for. Suay Chermngtalay Serving up modern dishes created by popular TV chef Tammasak “Noi” Chootong, this is contemporary Thai cuisine with a creative twist. Chillva Market Phuket An authentic street food night market selling local favourites, from fresh seafood skewers, noodle soups and mango sticky rice.
