deannajohnston8

The excitement of a new year may have settled, but that doesn’t mean your travel dreams should! March is the perfect time to solidify your 2025 travel plans, ensuring you get the best deals, prime accommodations, and the most seamless itinerary possible. Whether you’ve already started planning or are still deciding, here’s how to stay on track and turn your dream holiday into reality.


1. Fine-Tune Your Travel Itinerary

By now, you might have a rough idea of where you want to go in 2025—but have you considered the finer details? Now’s the time to research must-see sights, day trips, and hidden gems that will make your trip truly unforgettable. Need help piecing together the perfect itinerary? Whether it’s a multi-country European adventure, an exotic cruise, or a self-drive holiday, I’m here to help refine your plans!


2. Take Advantage of Early-Bird Deals

March is an excellent time to lock in flights, cruises, and accommodation before prices rise. Popular destinations—like Europe in summer, safaris in Africa, or ski trips in Japan—book out quickly, so securing your spot early ensures the best rates and availability. If you’re thinking about a luxury cruise or a sought-after tour, now is the time to make your move!


3. Explore Off-the-Beaten-Path Destinations

If you’re looking for something different this year, why not consider lesser-known gems? Swap Venice for Slovenia’s stunning Lake Bled, bypass Santorini for the serene charm of Naxos, or trade a traditional safari for a conservation-focused experience in Botswana. Travelling off the beaten path not only offers unique experiences but often means fewer crowds and better value for money.


4. Maximise the Benefits of Shoulder Season Travel

One of the best-kept secrets in travel is visiting destinations in their shoulder season—spring and autumn. You’ll enjoy pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and better prices. Think Japan’s cherry blossoms in April, New Zealand’s crisp autumn landscapes in May, or the Mediterranean’s warm waters in September. If flexibility is an option for you, this can be a game-changer!


5. Book Major Events & Festivals Now

If your 2025 travel wish list includes bucket-list events like Oktoberfest in Germany, the Running of the Bulls in Spain, or the Monaco Grand Prix, now is the time to start booking. Festival-related travel requires extra planning to secure prime accommodations and event tickets. Don’t leave it too late—let’s get your reservations sorted early!


6. Plan for Sustainable & Meaningful Travel

Eco-conscious travel is becoming a priority for many. Consider staying in green-certified hotels, supporting local businesses, or choosing experiences that give back to the community. If you’re keen to explore sustainable travel options—like train journeys, carbon-offset flights, or ethical wildlife encounters—I can help tailor an itinerary that aligns with your values.
