Where to Travel in 2021 and Beyond with Trafalgar
To Make Up for Lost Time
If it’s too hard deciding where to go in 2021, then let us inspire you. Given the current circumstances around the world, we’re gravitating to countries with wide-open spaces that allow for natural social distancing, where you can soak in the beauty of the great outdoors.
From Europe to Asia to Africa and everything in between, here are Trafalgar’s picks for must-visit 2021 and 2022 travel destinations.
Hawaii
The Aloha state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean is one of the top places on our travel destinations list. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind and disconnect after the year that was 2020. Friendly locals, incredible scenery, stunning beaches, adventure activities and fresh, tasty food are a few reasons to pop Hawaii on your 2021 travel destinations list. Every island is different and hopping between them during Trafalgar’s 8-day Hawaiian Explorer is the best way to truly experience pure Hawaii.
Costa Rica
Tropical rainforests, sandy beaches and towering volcanoes make Costa Rica the ultimate outdoor vacation and a perfect travel destination. Make friends with sloths, toucans, monkeys and our Travel Director as you explore this beautiful country. And pack your adventurous side – this is the place to
try river rafting, canyoning and zip lining. Maybe take the whole family for a getaway on Trafalgar’s Monkeys, Jungles and Volcanoes tour.
Switzerland
High in the mountains, it feels like there is nothing purer than Swiss air. Switzerland is more than just chocolate, watches and skiing. In the summertime, you can ride the world's steepest cogwheel railway up Mount Pilatus. The little red train has been huffing and puffing up a 48% incline to the summit since 1889. It's one of the best ways to take in the alpine meadows and striking rock formations. Experience the Best of Switzerland on Trafalgar’s 9-day tour through Lake Geneva, Lavaux and Brienz.
New Zealand
The moment New Zealand reopens its borders to international travelers we know people will flock to
its faraway Pacific islands. Discover everything the
small country is known for
– its incredible variety of breathtaking scenery, volcanic landscapes, incredible fjords and glaciers and lush beaches on Trafalgar’s Contrasts of New Zealand trip. It’s no wonder they chose to film all three Lord of the Rings movies there.
Italy
Where to travel in 2021?
Well, Italy will always have
a soft spot in our hearts. Right now, we're eyeing up Trafalgar's Grand Italian Experience that zig- zags up and down the famous boot. Guests get to
experience the adorable Alberobello in the south and the great Italian lakes and Venice in the north. Can anyone else smell pasta with parmigiana?
US National Parks
If you choose to embark on an epic encounter with wilderness in the United States, strap yourself in for
a spectacular treat. Journey past the icy peaks of the Grand Tetons, bubbling mud pots of Yellowstone, the eerie hoodoos of Bryce Canyon to Zion National Park, groves of larger-than-life sequoias in the Land of Giants and the inferno of Death Valley (just to name a few). The National Parks of the United States are home to some of the world’s great wonders. If you’re wondering where to go in 2021, pop a park tour on your list – or better yet five on Five Epic National Parks trip with Trafalgar.
Scandinavia
Follow the tales of Hans Christian Andersen, board one of Europe’s most exciting train journeys, see the northern lights, chase down Santa Claus and learn about farm life near Bergen over two weeks on Trafalgar’s Scenic Scandinavia and its Fjords tour. The incredible beauty and colorful people of Scandinavia will leave you feeling refreshed and thinking you have transported to another world.
South Africa
Wide-open plains, exotic animals and a chance to connect with nature. The Essence of South Africa tour with Trafalgar is a great choice for travel in 2021. On everyone’s bucket list should be to visit South Africa’s oldest and most iconic national park, Kruger National Park Safari Game Drive. Here you’ll be keeping a keen eye out for the magnificent Big Five, the little five and everything in between.
Great Britain and
Ireland
You haven’t seen green until you’ve visited Great Britain and Ireland. Dive into history, culture and rolling hills through England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. From the Isle of Skye to Stonehenge to the Blarney Stone, these neighboring countries pack a lot of beauty and stories into their centuries of history, making it one of our 2021 travel destinations. Short on time but want to see all the highlights? Trafalgar’s 8-day Britain and Ireland Highlights delivers the genius of Shakespeare, Waterford crystal creations in Ireland and
a hearty Welsh dinner at a local vineyard, with a side of ancient history, in just more than a week.
