Planning your next getaway just got easier and a lot more exciting, with curated group travel experiences designed to take the stress out of exploring the world.
From Japan to Alaska and beyond, there are more options than ever to travel with ease while still enjoying unforgettable moments along the way.
Gene Miyake, Managing Director of Non-Stop Travel, joined Living808 to share the latest on escorted group tours and what travelers can look forward to.
For those dreaming of Japan, new escorted group itineraries are already turning heads. Travelers can look forward to festive holiday trips right after Thanksgiving, perfect for getting a jump start on Christmas shopping while experiencing Japan’s dazzling seasonal illuminations and iconic local flavors.
Destinations include Tokyo, Fukuoka, Hokkaido, Okinawa, Nagoya, Osaka, and Kyoto, giving travelers a wide range of cultural and seasonal experiences to choose from.
Looking ahead, 2027 travel plans are already in motion. Due to strong demand, upcoming Japan tours will feature seasonal highlights like Okinawa cherry blossoms in January, the world-famous Sapporo Snow Festival in Hokkaido in February, and spring cherry blossom trips in March. These trips are designed to capture Japan at its most vibrant times of year.
For those craving cooler climates and dramatic scenery, Alaska continues to be a standout destination. Travelers can witness glaciers calving into the ocean, a powerful natural phenomenon that leaves a lasting impression.
New 2027 cruise options with Norwegian and Princess are now available, making them ideal for family trips or even class reunions. For a more immersive experience, cruise tours combine a six-night land adventure through Fairbanks, Mt. McKinley, and Denali with a seven-night cruise from Whittier to Vancouver.
Gene also shared that Europe is on the horizon, with a full lineup of 2027 escorted group travel experiences available through Globus and Avalon Waterways, offering river cruises and guided tours across some of the continent’s most iconic destinations.
