Virtuoso recently released its 2024 Luxe Report, which drew findings from its network of 20,000 travel advisors. The report unveiled the top experiences 2024 travelers should have on their bucket list, from a slow safari in Botswana to springtime in Japan’s Sakura.

These are the nine must-do experiences for 2024:

Discover Dark-Sky Tourism

Whether on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Norway to see the Northern Lights or a stargazing vacation to witness the total solar eclipse in Northern Mexico, 2024 is the year to take to the skies to look to the skies.

Seek Solace

Escape life’s stressors with travel to Finland, the happiest country in the world. Or take in the fresh mountain air of Bhutan, a country of warm-hearted locals. Other destinations promising a wellness-focused trip include Thailand, where Chiang Mai and Koh Samui provide countless peaceful spots to relax and renew.

Pursue Pastime Passions in a New Setting

Love to garden? Make for this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Bookworms should mark the Strahov Monastery in Prague as a must-visit, while adventure seekers should consider a trip to New Zealand.

Immerse Yourself in Cultural Cuisine

Tasting a region’s food is perhaps one of the best ways to truly experience a destination, allowing travelers to delve into a destination’s history and way of life while also supporting the local community. Try tasty street food in Slovenia, sample Peruvian picarones at Mistura Food Festival or take part in a hands-on cooking class in Vietnam.

Explore Rare and Remote Wilderness

Book that expedition cruise to Antarctica or the Galápagos Islands to have unparalleled access to some of the most remote and pristine landscapes on the planet.

Climb Aboard the Legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, A Belmond Train

Departing this August, this trip across Europe includes a guided tour of Budapest, four-course meals and a live pianist in the evenings. The trip goes from Paris to Istanbul for an all-encompassing experience across the continent.

Behold Japan’s Springtime Sakura

Whether you plan a winter trip for ski season and picturesque views of the snow-covered Mount Fuji or a spring visit to see the country’s vibrant cherry blossoms, you’re sure to come home with some unforgettable memories. In spring, expect cherry blossom festivals and more.

Charter a Private Island

Revel in the freedom of total seclusion on a private island. Explore underwater caves and secret waterfalls, dive with marine life or simply nestle into your own white-sand beach. Whatever you choose, you’re guaranteed paradise.

Set Off on a Slow Safari

Experience both the unhurried views of Africa and the exhilarating chase of lion hunts and wildebeest migrations. With wildlife conservation at the forefront of many trips to Africa, you’ll leave having a greater appreciation for nature, whether bird watching in Botswana or gorilla trekking in Rwanda. Maximize the effect of spending on conservation and environmental programs with the help of a professional travel advisor.
