June 6, 1944. 156,000 allied troops land in Normandy, overcoming fierce German resistance to gain a crucial foothold in Europe.

Weaving northward from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea, the great Rhine River divides Europe, passing medieval townships and iconic landscapes on its march from source to sea. This is the continent’s second-longest and, perhaps, most influential river, and travelling its timeless course promises a cultural journey you’ll simply never forget.

Few places on Earth fulfil wanderlust quite like Australia and New Zealand. Though different in scale, culture and natural biodiversity, these lands are connected by something deeper: a tangible sense of adventure that will inspire even the most curious of travellers.

Africa – the name alone evokes a sense of discovery and wonder. From South Africa to Zimbabwe, this is a land of wild and untamed beauty, and experiencing its iconic wildlife and natural splendour is one of life’s great adventures.

Whether you have a fondness for an intricately structured Bordeaux claret, prefer the aromatic breeziness of a Rhineland Riesling, or like to linger over a bold Castelão ripe from the quintas of the Douro Valley – wine holds timeless appeal, and is an enduring favourite among curious epicures the world over.
