Distant Journeys offer a number of combination tours that allow you to explore two countries in one incredible holiday. These perfect pairs include the vibrant and culture-rich Vietnam & Cambodia; the varying and magnificent landscapes of Australia & New Zealand and the untamed beauty of Canada & Alaska. These are itineraries that offer the best of both.
In Africa, as well as tours spanning the likes of South Africa, Namibia and Mozambique you can enhance your adventure with extensions to Cape Town, the majestic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, or wildlife-haven Chobe National Park in Botswana.
Vietnam & Cambodia
The very essence of South East Asia, the countries of Vietnam and Cambodia both offer rich cultures, ancient wonders and spectacular landscapes. Our combination tours showcase their natural beauty and take you on an immersive discovery of their unique histories and local traditions.
We have three tours which take in all their splendour, our 15-day Classic Vietnam & Cambodia, 22-day The Very Best of Vietnam & Cambodia and our brand new 18-day Exclusively Solos – Discover Vietnam & Cambodia tour.
Canada & Alaska
Canada and Alaska are firmly planted as bucket-list adventures in the minds of many. Our 21-day Grand Canadian Rockies & Alaskan Cruise itinerary starts with two weeks journeying from Banff to Vancouver, through Canada’s Rocky Mountains, which cut a swathe through the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia; the jagged peaks soaring above a landscape of forests, lakes and glaciers. Among the tour’s many highlights is a fabulous two-day journey aboard the Rocky Mountaineer, one of the world’s most scenic railway journeys.
From Vancouver we join our cruise ship, Holland America’s Koningsdam, for a relaxing yet thrilling seven-night cruise through Alaska’s famed Inside Passage. Ports of call include Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan, with visits to Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm Inlet before the cruise ends in Vancouver.
Australia & New Zealand
When you think of New Zealand, its incredible pooling lakes, geysers and sky-high snow-capped mountains spring to mind. But that’s only half of the adventure. Explore Australia’s raw and rugged outback; the cosmopolitan city of Sydney; the spectacular sights of Uluru; tropical Queensland and of course, the breath-taking Great Barrier Reef, which are all destinations on our 31-day Highlights of Australia & New Zealand.
If you have the time, you can also consider one of our Combination Tours where you can pair a selection of our longer tours of Australia and New Zealand, with itineraries from 44 to 61 days.
Southern Africa & Extensions
Distant Journeys offer spectacular itineraries to South Africa, also featuring Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and eSwatini.
South Africa has everything you could wish for in a holiday destination – vast savannah brimming with wildlife, world-class cities rich with history and vibrant culture, stunning scenic wonders such as Table Mountain and the Garden Route, a glorious year-round climate and friendly, welcoming people.
Our meticulously designed and insightful Classic Tours, Rail Tours and a brand-new Small Group Safari, allow you to truly explore South Africa and its neighbouring countries, and we’ve matched our tours with optional extensions to iconic destinations. Choose from Cape Town, a city that effortlessly weaves together natural beauty, rich history and a vibrant culture; the majestic Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of awe-inspiring beauty; or the wildlife-rich Chobe National Park in Botswana, which is best known as being home to Africa’s largest elephant population.
