Where we’re headed next.
When we heard about Australia’s long-awaited reopening to vaccinated travelers this month, we instantly began craving an outback adventure. In a recent Instagram survey, 69 percent of Virtuoso travelers said they were looking for outdoor adventures in 2022. As borders reopen and international travel picks up, we’re looking farther afield for the next big trip – following our internal compasses to the world’s remote corners, chasing adventure and passport stamps. We’re taking every excuse to celebrate in the world’s loveliest locations. And when the journey is just as important as the destination, three of the newest cruise ships afloat help you arrive in style.
