2025 awaits, so it is time to spotlight some exciting travel trends that will help you reshape how you think about travel. Here are the top 5 travel trends that we think 2025 will bring to us.

Wellness Travel: Wellness travel has been a growing market for the past several years and 2025 is poised to see an even larger growth of this unique vacation option. From resorts that specialize in vegan cuisine to yoga retreats in the desert, this segment of travel has expanded to include things like meditation under the aurora borealis in Iceland or exploring the ancient healing powers of hot springs in New Zealand. Wellness travel allows us to disconnect from our fast-paced lives and reconnect body, mind, and spirit by bringing rest and rejuvenation in awe-inspiring destinations.

Experiential Travel: Travel isn't about snapping the perfect photo for the 'Gram and moving onto the next site. Travel is for experiencing the culture, cuisine and nuances of the places you are visiting and travelers are definitely putting experiences at the top of their travel list. Learn how to make pasta from a nonna in Tuscany; dare to try your hand at dancing the tango in Buenos Aires; explore a souq in Dubai to select perfume oils and craft your own signature scent while learning the rich history of perfume in Emirati culture. Rather than leading your travel with the idea of where to go - lead it with what do you want to do?

Cruising: Once a well-loved vacation option, cruising had a moment where it fell out of favor. But with innovations in cruise lines, new ports of call to visit, and a wide range of ship and cruise styles - it is making a comeback. Gone are the endless buffet lines and tourist stops in the Caribbean. Now you can embark on a European river cruise to explore medieval towns or take a cruise through the Drake Shake (while you hope for Drake Lake) as you make your way to Antarctica on an expedition cruise. Visit all the Hawaiian Islands and marvel in the beauty of their coastlines without having to hop endless flights. Since the Earth is 71% water, let's use it to explore all that there is to see.

Cultural Heritage Tours: Guided tours are making a big splash in the world of travel. The guided tours that we are seeing sell out are tours that emphasize the cultural heritage and rich history of regions. From guided tours to explore the ancient wonders of the Silk Road to investigating the castles of the Irish countryside, guided tours bring us together to experience this rich tapestry of life and history.

Multi-Generational Travel: One trend that has been rising in the past few years and is still on the rise is multi-generational travel. Families are using vacations as a way to disconnect from the constant stress of work and school demands and reconnect with one another. Great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and kids can spend time sharing stories of their personal history while taking in the history and culture of their ancestry or just soaking up the sun on a Caribbean beach.
