When you arrive in Samoa, you might feel as if you’ve stepped into a dream. But this is where South Pacific vacation dreams are realized. Pure natural beauty, affordable luxury, and enriching activities—it’s all here. Known as the last bastion of Polynesian culture, Samoa is blessed with year-round warm weather (average 84°F/29°C). And with its sparkling white sandy beaches, stunning waterfalls, tropical rainforests, and vibrant gardens, it’s the perfect destination for your off-the-radar getaway—where you can truly unplug and reconnect with nature, yourself, or with the one you love. 

Far from the flocks of honeymooners that descend on other islands in the South Pacific, small, beautiful Samoa is a great place to escape from the worries of daily life. It has the white sand beaches and warm South Pacific waters that you’d expect of an island getaway, but to date, it’s also largely off the tourist route, lending it a solitude and authenticity that is impossible to replicate. If you’re looking for an ideal getaway to the South Pacific, head to Samoa. 

If you only read the headlines, you’re missing a lot of the story.

From incredible history to breathtaking landscapes and welcoming cultures, these countries have it all.

Noted astronomer Bob Berman will join Goway’s Antarctica Solar Eclipse cruise in December, 2021, as onboard ‘astronomer in residence’ during the event.

For a relatively small country, Ireland fires the imagination like few others. For many North Americans, Ireland is in their blood. The history of North American immigration is in many ways the history of Irish emigration, and countless stories from Ellis Island, Newfoundland, and other points of arrival find their beginnings in Ireland. In some parts of the United States and Canada, up to a quarter of the population can trace Irish ancestry.

Sampling food and wine is one of the great joys of travel. In fact, for a lot of people (myself included) it’s the main joy of travel. Every new city brings with it new restaurants to try, new local specialities to sample, and new craft beers to drink. It’s a pleasure to experience a new culture through its tastes and smells at the dinner table, one that I’d happily repeat for the rest of my life.

No matter the length of your trip and the extent of your journey, you’ll find enough variety to keep you satisfied during your South East Asia Tour.

There are almost as many reasons for women to embark on solo travel as there are for travel. It might be a homebody spouse, an impatience with ‘that one friend’ who just can’t commit, or simply a desire to set your own pace and explore on your own terms. In a world where travel options have never been so extensive, pathways for globetrotting women have never been so abundant.

Nor has the demand for groups catering exclusively to female travellers.
