Enlighten Excursions

Sometimes the journey is half the fun. Which would you rather do?

MYTH: Using a travel advisor costs more than booking online.

REALITY: Travel advisors often have access to the same rates you'll find online, plus exclusive perks such as room upgrades, resort credits, complimentary breakfast, VIP amenities, and personalized recommendations. And if something goes wrong, you have a real person advocating for you.

Why spend hours searching when you can have an expert help you travel smarter?

Hard to argue with that; routine can wait.

Picture this: tulips in Amsterdam, castles rising above the Rhine, vineyard-covered hills along the Douro, and Christmas markets glowing beside the Danube.

From Japan's Inland Sea to the Alps is Alexander+Roberts' 11-day Small Group Journey through the heart of Japan, from Kyoto's temples and Hiroshima's Peace Memorial to the alpine hamlet of Shirakawago and the neon energy of Tokyo. You'll dine with geisha in Kyoto, take a sushi lesson from a Tokyo chef, and stand beneath Miyajima's red Torii Gate on a day trip from Hiroshima. Late March and April departures land right in cherry blossom season, so it's worth booking now to secure your dates. Book and pay in full by 11/30 to save $1,000 per couple, a limited-time offer worth locking in while those spring dates are still open.
