Singapore

Despite its small size, Singapore is jam-packed with impressive sights, delicious bites, and never-ending nights to explore the grand city-state.

Boston, Massachusetts

While this city is famous for once having thrown out its tea into the harbor water below, visiting historic Boston is no throwaway trip!

The First State

Nicknamed “The Diamond State” after Thomas Jefferson famously called it a “jewel” among the States, Delaware is a treasure trove of history and delight.

Denmark

Pack your smørrebrød and your sense of wonder — we’re off to Denmark! From castles that float to bridges that go in circles (on purpose), this little country packs in a big dose of charm.

Italy

Beginning in Rome and making our way up to Florence, our Italian Adventure was full of gorgeous cathedrals, mom and pop shops, delicious pasta, and too many Italian dogs to count.

The Seventh Continent

All aboard! We embark from the end of the world aboard the MS Roald Amundsen on a (shivery) trip of a lifetime!
