Great Experience holidays

Great Experience holidays

Travel from city to city, beach to beach, small country town to small country town - and they can start to feel the same. Places can often feel very similar, but when it comes to memorable holidays, experiences are ever lasting.

For many, a holiday is the chance to escape from the mundane routine of life. Experience holidays offer us the chance to get a taste of what life could be like had we bought the winning lottery ticket/thought up Google and Facebook first/inherited money from a wealthy rich distant uncle/been born with good looks and raw talent!

The luxury experience
Top of the list of holiday experiences is luxury travel. There are a number of international destinations that cater to our indulgences. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have some of the most unique, one of a kind luxury resorts and experiences that tantalise the senses and transport us to another world.

If you're looking for the ultimate luxury package, you can't go wrong with the Royal Suite at the Burj Al Arab hotel. With marble floors, mahogany furniture, private cinema, rotating four-poster bed, a single night costs a mere 11,435 (A$19970). You can also enjoy the services of a chauffeured Rolls Royce or personal helicopter - for a modest additional fee. Fly to Dubai in style with Emirates on the new AirBus 380 featuring its first class luxury capsule seats.


The adventure holiday
Adventure holidays are all the rage for thrill seekers. Climb Mount Everest or hunt for some big game in the ultimate safari experience. These types of experiences don't have to cost the world with a number of cheap holiday packages catering to young backpackers looking for excitement.

Recently, pop icon Justin Bieber took some time out from avoiding his adoring fans to take on the Auckland Bridge bungy jump. This 40 metre free fall offers the ultimate rush for adrenalin junkies.

The cruise
Sometimes, it's the journey and not the destination that matters. Cruising has always been a popular way to see the world, the all-inclusive on board lifestyle is especially appealing to many travellers who are looking trade-in the daily stresses of decision making for a more leisurely pace of life.

On the other hand, if you're after something a little bit different, then set sail for the high seas on the ultimate maritime experience. The ALVEI gives you the chance to develop your sea legs and experience life as a traditional sailor. This authentic tall ship experience offers participants a hands-on nautical adventure, the way the old maritime sailors used to travel. The crew also help out with a number of local humanitarian projects, including Project MARC in Vanuatu.
