Big Galapagos savings! Visiting the Galapagos is notoriously expensive, so this is an excellent opportunity to take advantage of savings up to £420 on tours sailing to the islands on the Monserrat Yacht. These savings are available on departures from the UK on Tuesdays, compared with equivalent Wednesday departures.

There are also savings on trips to Abu Simbel, along with Peru, and the Explore Greek Caique Cruise. For more information, visit the website here.

Classic routes run across Africa and South America, ranging from anything from 5 days, to a 36-week circumnavigation of each continent! However, the range of routes is constantly expanding, with newer routes travelling through the Middle East, or Central Asia, along the Silk Route. Specialist companies, such as UK to Oz Overlanding and Odyssey Overland, even offer London to Australia overland trips, crossing Europe, Central and South-East Asia.
