Train approaching the Duoliang Station in Taitung, on the east coast of Taiwan

A Taste of Taiwan by Train – 24 February 2024 – $330 OFF

Taiwan is one of our top tip destinations to discover in 2024, and early signs suggest out Culture Trippers agree, with our first few departures of the year filling up fast. Don’t miss out on a chunky $330 saving, which brings this nine-day trip to a genuine bargain price of $1,579. For that you’ll be whisked on a loop tour of the island, exploring its melting pot of East Asian influences in bustling street food markets and architecturally eclectic cities. You’ll also stop off for some serenity – and locally produced tea – in Sun Moon Lake, and unique cave formations in Taroko Gorge. Our favourite part of the trip, though, might have to be the spectacular east coast train journey, which offers mesmerising views of the island’s verdant Pacific coastline.

Soulful South Korea – 24 March 2024 – $525 OFF

East Asia is a common theme for our festive discounts, because we see 2024 as a big comeback for the unique nations in this part of the world. Korea has always been a favourite in the Culture Trip office thanks to its incredible cuisine, ancient history and diversity of natural beauty. Our 10-day trip highlights all of the above, from the beaches of Busan to the luscious mountains of Seoraksan, ancient Buddhist temples and pulsating, neon-lit cityscapes. Our March departure is now on a whopping $525 discount – our biggest deal this Holiday season – so don’t miss your chance to dive deep into the soul of Korea at a fraction of the price.

Japan by Train: The Grand Tour – 11 April 2024 – $480 OFF

Ok, we promise to point to a different part of the map in a minute, but our third discounted departure is to arguably the most popular destination in the region, Japan. This country is endlessly explorable, with its distinct contrast of the ancient and the ultra-modern, a world famous cuisine and a series of splendid cities. Thanks to the country’s iconic train network we were able to put this epic Rail Trip together, which combines the cultural cities of Osaka, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Tokyo with the natural splendour of Miyajima Island, the bamboo forest at Arashiyama, the hot springs at Hakone and the Mount Fuji views from Lake Ashi. Join us in April for the ultimate Japanese adventure, saving a tasty $480 in the process.

Palace of Pena in Sintra, Lisbon, Portugal.

Complete Portugal by Train – 13 April 2024 – $408 OFF

Off to Europe we go! On the western fringes of southern Europe lies Portugal, one of the most sumptuously gorgeous countries on the continent. This is a place to enjoy the little things in life; a fine glass of wine, some picture-perfect pastries, or perhaps just a stunning countryside view. Our eight day Rail Trip winds down from the country’s charming second city, Porto, to its vibrant capital, Lisbon. You’ll sample sweet Port wine and detour down to the vineyards of the Douro Valley in the former, while pastel de nata and scenic hilltop views await in Lisbon. En route we’ll stop off in Aveiro – Portugal’s answer to Venice – and the truly beautiful fairytale town of Sintra. Act fast if you want to enjoy $408 of savings on our April departure!

Epic Morocco – 20 April 2024 – $355 OFF

The gateway to Africa has long seen curious travellers passing through its narrow old towns, bustling markets and epic landscapes, but Morocco is becoming an increasingly trendy destination post-Covid, and we think this is in no small part due to its remarkable diversity. You’ve got the rich variety of cities – from the unique blue streets of Chefchaouen and the old world feel of Fes to the iconic sights of Casablanca and Marrakech – but you’ve also got an amazing range of natural landscapes, from the sprawling dunes of the Sahara to the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains. Our comprehensive 11-day tour of Morocco features all of the above and more, and our April departure is now $355 OFF.

Trips_Southern Italy_Salerno_AdobeStock_231197512 (4)-min

Seductive Southern Italy – 25 May 2024 – $421 OFF

If Italy has always been high on your bucket list – and why wouldn’t it? – then join us this May for a glamorous jaunt along the winding coastlines of the south. This trip is all about la dolce vita, be it beaches and boat rides or pizza and fine wines. We’ll start with a bit of energy on the chaotic streets of Naples, where you’ll be treated to an incredible street food tour. Things calm down after that, though, as we wind down through the pretty seaside towns of the Amalfi Coast. Then it’s time to head east, stopping off at the striking towns of Matera and Alberobello before reaching the coast of Puglia. Bask on the beaches of Polignano a Mare, visit an olive oil farm and discover the Florence of the South. How very Italian. Buon Natale!

Blissful Bali – 15 June 2024 – $285 OFF

Looking ahead to the summer? Start yours in serene style by joining our June exploration of Indonesia’s most famous island.
