Virtuoso Names the Must-Have Experiences that Should be on Every Luxury Traveller’s List for 2025

Virtuoso®, the global network specialising in luxury and experiential travel, is delighted to unveil its curated list of must-have travel experiences for 2025 – from getting down and yurt-y and cruising the canals, to soaking up Slovenia and circling the earth in style.

Virtuoso tapped into its elite force of travel advisors from around the world to share their top recommendations. Key findings reveal that 57% of luxury travellers prioritise the awe and wonder of nature as their top emotional driver when planning a trip.

Travellers are also shying away from overcrowded European hotspots and setting their sights on Portugal, The Luxe Report’s top destination to watch in 2025 thanks to its warm hospitality, mild climate and unbeatable value.

For those looking to venture off the beaten path, a stay in a Mongolian yurt combines rugged wilderness with a bit of refinement. Meanwhile, for the second consecutive year, wildlife conservation and interaction lead the report’s sustainable tourism trends while river cruising is a top trend for the solo set in 2025. Last but by no means least, pet owners are happily splurging to ensure their beloved fur babies travel in ultimate comfort.
