Dear Friends,
Amazing, memorable, the trip of a lifetime. These are a few
of the words we’ve heard our guests use to describe their experiences with us. It is therefore with great pride and passion that our team crafts itineraries that keep our guests coming back year after year. From the moment we pick you up until your return home, we make the exceptional plans so that you can make unforgettable memories.
One of our favourite parts of each journey is hearing
your stories when you return home from exploring. We enjoy it so much in fact, we wanted to share some with you! On p.40, we highlight entertaining and inspiring stories from guests who have travelled with us in recent years.
In 2020 and 2021, we are delighted to invite you to journey with us. Throughout the pages of this journal, you will find many of our favourites, as well as exciting new itineraries.
Appreciate the rich cultural tapestry and enduring history of Europe’s most storied cities and landscapes on our new river cruise from Amsterdam to Budapest (p.56), cruising the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers with unforgettable stops along the way. When the river cruise ends, join us by extending your journey with 4 nights at the famous Hotel Paris, located in the heart of Prague’s historic district. Nicknamed the “City of a Hundred Spires,” Prague is a city rich with history and colour, and is sure to deliver pure delight! (p.58)
2020 marks our 12th year introducing Canadians to the unbridled energy and culture of South Africa. On our journey through Southern Africa (p.74), marvel at spectacular views seen by only a privileged few as you join game drives in
search of the “big five”, relax on the luxurious 5-star Rovos Rail journey, and take a helicopter flight over spectacular Victoria Falls. This Journey of a lifetime is one you won’t soon forget.
In 2021, we are excited to be offering a new journey sailing the coast of the Adriatic Sea (p.46). Begin by exploring the interior of Slovenia and Croatia before boarding the brand new 36-guest yacht, the MV Aurelia. Then, sail along the gorgeous Dalmatian coast from Split to Dubrovnik in search of turquoise waters, fresh oysters and Venetian harbours.
If you have ever dreamt of discovering the natural beauty of these Adriatic gems in total intimacy and comfort, this journey is for you.
While we are always adding to our collection of journeys, we remain committed to the worry-free, all-inclusive approach to travel that has defined us for the past 40 years. From your private car ride to the airport, until your return, everything is included. You pack your bag, and we’ll take care of the rest!
2020 marks our 40th year offering Canadians exceptional travel experiences, throughout this country and abroad. Stay tuned as throughout the year we will be announcing exciting opportunities to join us in marking this special occasion.
We look forward to introducing you to all the corners
of the world in the coming pages. If you’ve travelled with us in the past, we look forward to seeing you again. If you are travelling with us for the first time, welcome to the Journeys by Van Dyke family!
