Where to visit in 2025

Improved infrastructure, better access and new attractions make it much easier to explore but deciding where to go is still difficult.

In 2025, dozens of holiday destinations are coming under the spotlight thanks to new flight routes, gallery exhibitions and blockbuster films.

While it's cold outside, sit back and indulge in a bit of armchair travel, planning adventures for the year to come.

GREENLAND

With interest in the polar regions continuing to grow, the world's largest island has become a favourite for cruise companies.

While trips along the western coastline to see berg-chocked Disko Bay have been operating for some time, more voyages are heading along remote eastern shores where highlights include dramatic ice sculptures and visits to indigenous communities.

Covered in 80% ice, the interior has always been challenging to navigate. New flights into the long-awaited Nuuk Airport have opened up opportunities to explore the small but creatively thriving capital.

HOW: Regent Holidays offers a four-night trip to Nuuk from £1,995pp (two sharing), including B&B accommodation, some meals and flights from Iceland. Visit regent-holidays.co.uk

GHANA

Overshadowed for many years by bucket-list safari destinations, West Africa is finally receiving deserved attention with new escorted tours to Ghana.
