Spirit of Japan

The Spirit of Japan

20th - 24th October 2025

Where cutting-edge glamour meets centuries-old tradition. From the buzz of Tokyo to the artistry of Kanazawa and the alpine beauty of Gifu, this five-night experience is rich in culture, flavour, and wonder.

Wander through samurai and geisha districts, stroll Kenrokuen Garden at golden hour, try your hand at gold-leaf or tea ceremony workshops, and unwind in an onsen after exploring Shirakawa-go’s UNESCO-listed farmhouses.

Every experience reveals a new layer of Japan’s charm — vibrant, graceful, and unforgettable.

Singapore Formula 1

7th - 13th October 2026

Join us for an unforgettable week in one of Asia’s most vibrant and dynamic cities. Singapore blends cutting-edge innovation with rich cultural heritage, offering the perfect backdrop for high-octane racing and world-class experiences.

Beyond the roar of the track, we’ve curated a range of incredible day tours and activities, from exploring the futuristic Gardens by the Bay and iconic Marina Bay Sands, to discovering hidden gems in Chinatown and Little India. And of course, no trip is complete without indulging in Singapore’s legendary food scene; think hawker centres, rooftop bars, and award-winning restaurants with views that rival the racing.

Our Welcome and Happy Hour events will offer standout moments to bring the group together for a few drinks, laughs and a celebration of everything that makes this trip so special.
