Here are the company’s Top 5 New Trips In 2012:

1. The Best of Burma: “View the Shwedagon Pagoda, visit the giant stupa and Buddha in Bago, Cruise the Irrawaddy River to Mandalay, discover the temples of Pagan, meet the fisherman of Inle Lake.”

2. Week in Jordan. “2012 marks the 200th anniversary of the ‘discovery’ of Petra, and, after an unsettled period in 2011, bookings – and consumer confidence – are now recovering strongly.”

3. Teens on the Trail:  “Why spend another boring beach holiday with the family when you can take them on one of the most adventurous trips on offer: mountain biking around Cusco, trekking the Inca Trail, river rafting and a homestay in local village houses in Chinchero.”

4. Bolivia and Argentina Overland: “The opportunity to stay on an Estancia to learn the way of the gauchos, visits to world-class vineyards and more, this trip immerses passengers in the ‘quintessential Argentinean experience’ and highlights of Bolivia and Chile.”

5. The Wilds of Iceland: “(Travelers) won’t just see the highlights but also venture into the areas almost impossible to explore independently. Highlights include the Gullfoss Waterfall, a three day trek through the highlands, a visit to Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon and a glacier hike.”
