North America: A Continent of Endless Possibilities

Though Portuguese explorer Columbus was the first European to stumble upon the Americas, the continent took its name from an Italian, Amerigo Vespucci.

Spanning 24,221,490 km² (9,351,969 square miles) and bordered by the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, North America is a land of contrasts, offering everything from arctic tundra to tropical rainforests.

From the Extreme North to the Tropical South

At its northernmost edge lies Canada’s – and the world’s – most northerly settlement, Canadian Forces Station Alert, perched on Ellesmere Island just 834 kilometres (518 miles) from the North Pole. At the other end of the spectrum, Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas basks in tropical heat, where vibrant Mayan traditions predate the colonial era and continue to thrive against the odds.

A Playground of Epic Landscapes and Iconic Cities

Between these extremes lies the vast expanse of the United States, a tourist’s playground with its iconic cities, cultural diversity, and landscapes that defy imagination. North America offers towering forests, endless plains, scorching deserts, vast canyons, pristine beaches, and remnants of ancient civilisations that tell stories of a world far removed from our own.

The continent is a haven for luxury travellers, with remarkable hotels, world-class dining, and a wealth of tailored experiences. But the true magic lies in the rich cultural and natural treasures waiting to be discovered.

A Cultural and Culinary Treasure Trove

North America’s cultural contributions are monumental. From New Orleans, where jazz was born, to Los Angeles, the beating heart of the film industry, the continent has shaped global music, art, and entertainment. The Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, are just the tip of the cultural iceberg.

And then there’s the food. North America’s melting pot of cuisines is as diverse as its landscapes. Imagine smoky Texan brisket, tacos fresh from a Mexican zócalo, Maine’s finest seafood, Creole gumbo simmered by the Mississippi, and Vancouver’s sophisticated oysters. Each meal is an invitation to savour the continent’s rich heritage.

Landscapes That Inspire and Awe

North America’s natural beauty is unparalleled. Tropical rainforests merge into arid deserts where red rocks tower in stark relief. Plunge into Copper Canyon in Mexico, the continent’s lowest point, or ascend to the summit of Mount McKinley (Denali) in Alaska, its highest peak at 6,194 metres (20,320 feet).

From Bermuda’s palm-fringed beaches to the snowscapes of the Great White North and the breathtaking depths of the Grand Canyon, North America offers a scale and splendour that can make you feel small yet exhilarated.

Adventures for Every Traveller

The possibilities are endless. Stroll the buzzing streets of New York City, ski the pristine slopes of Canada, trace the steps of Native American civilisations, dive the coral reefs of Mexico, or road trip along Route 66. Sandboard in the Great Sand Dunes National Park, hike Wells Gray Provincial Park, or simply soak in the wonder of it all – adventure is always around the corner.

Where Will Your Journey Take You?

North America’s vibrant energy, epic landscapes, and rich cultural history are waiting to be explored. Whether you seek relaxation, luxury, or adventure, this continent offers it all.
