Hot Destinations for 2023

We get asked almost daily, “what is the hottest vacation spot right now.” And here we are, almost halfway through 2023, and our answers are not changing. While we have travelers that are visiting destinations all over the world, these destinations below continue to grow in popularity day after day.

Here is a short list of some of our favorite, not to be missed, incredible vacation experiences that you should be adding to your #BucketList, no matter whether you get to visit in 2023 or in the years to come…

Antarctica is hot right now. And as Christen reflects on her most recent journey, you will see why…

I just returned from one of most incredible experiences of my life! Antarctica wasn't on my original travel bucket list, however, I'm so glad that I didn't say "no"! A true expedition style cruise is the ONLY way to see the "Seventh Continent". I'd love to tell you more and I'd love to take you with me.

Classic Travel Connection is hosting a group to Antarctica in 2025. If you are interested in joining us, please click here to let us know.

Italy is a classic! Always has been, always will be. It's the one place we'd visit over and over again. Why? Because each experience is so unique. If you've never walked the ruins of the Colosseum, sipped wine in a Tuscan vineyard, or had the best pasta of your life as you overlook the Amalfi Coast, well, it's time! And if you've "been there done it" already, we can give you ten more amazing not to be missed experiences!

Kon'nichiwa, Japan! Japan has been our surprise destination for 2023 and 2024 travel! And why not? Japan offers everything from historical temples, anime experiences and museums, to relaxing hot springs authentic to the country. There is something for everyone of all ages and interests! If Japan isn't on your travel bucket list, it should be!

River Cruising has become a fan favorite around Classic Travel Connection. It provides such an incredible way to discover the world. Being able to see castles, bustling city centers, and small quaint villages all on the same day is one of the most unique things about a river cruise. The possibilities are endless for those seeking to spend a week (or more) on a river cruise. From the European Rhine, Danube and Seine Rivers all the way to Egypt's Nile, you can't go wrong!

We're headed to the Christmas Markets in December! Would you like to join us? Let us know here.

We LOVE Croatia! Last year we had 30 guests sailing with us on our private chartered yacht and it was a fantastic experience. We'll never forget floating in the Adriatic Sea at our swim stops for as long as we live. 

We had so much fun that we created more opportunities for you to sail the Dalmatian Coast this year. Each sailing has very limited availability remaining, so please reach out now!
