As travel trends evolve, more and more people and families are keen to book holidays in exotic and unique locations, escaping the mundanity of repeating the same holidays every summer or looking for experiences, cultures, and natural landscapes they have never seen before.
The Baltic Travel Company, a highly experienced travel provider that specialises in packages off the beaten track, offers a broad array of holidays and excursions, from Arctic expeditions to exhilarating summer fly/drive trips and short breaks to some of the hidden gems throughout Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.
In this guide, the travel experts have collated some of the top destinations for 2025, which are in huge demand from guests who want to schedule a holiday experience like no other and have access to some of the world's most exciting destinations without a crowded beach in sight.
Insights Into Surprise Treats Packages From the Baltic Travel Company
There is nothing we are more passionate about than travel, culture and nature, and it is a privilege to support thousands of guests every year, whether booking an incredible honeymoon, an active family adventure holiday, a solo travel experience, or a luxurious stay in the world’s most tranquil destinations.
While many guests have a bucket list holiday they'd love to book, such as a trip to see the Northern Lights or a trans-European train trip, others ask for recommendations, and it’s a great opportunity to suggest destinations that most travellers have never heard of, much less considered visiting.
We've picked just a few example packages to showcase the breadth of cities, cultures, and landscapes that are out there to explore, with a brief summary of inclusions and excursions that provide unforgettable holiday memories.
Exploring the Rich Culture and Stunning Landscapes of Kyrgyzstan
We’ll start with Kyrgyzstan, which is far from a conventional or often-visited tourist destination but a country in Central Asia tucked between two soaring mountain ranges. The country feels like a step back in time, with a deep cultural history, having been part of the Silk Route, and with one of the lowest population densities on the planet.
Nomadic communities, wonderful scenery stretching as far as the eye can see, a laidback and friendly capital city and an abundance of nature call to explorers and adventurers, where the high-altitude lakes, glaciers, alpine meadows and forest-covered mountains offer no end of outdoor activities.
From horseback riding to trekking, helicopter rides over the peaks, and 4x4 off-road guided excursions, Kyrgyzstan is an exceptional destination for active breaks. Our seven-day Colours of Kyrgyzstan package provides a perfect introduction.
Guests can enjoy guided city tours in Bishkek to see the famous statues, art galleries and squares; travel around Issyk Kul Lake—the second largest alpine lake globally—and visit Karakol and Djety Oguz Canyon for hiking, with a guide to point out important landmarks and historical sites along the route.
Other highlights include culture-laden day trips to Naryn, an overnight stay in a comfortable yurt camp, and a chance to learn about the local eagle hunters who train these fascinating birds of prey.
What to Expect From a Luxury Holiday in Armenia
Armenia is another special holiday destination. It is a small country between Europe and Asia that is becoming better known for its contemporary art, music, and dining in the capital, Yerevan, and the dazzling number of monasteries, temples, and churches, some perched on seemingly gravity-defying cliffs and mountains.
Guests searching for culture and heritage need look no further, with a busy itinerary of tours and trips included within the Highlights of Armenia package that take in:
Yerevan’s most famous sites and attractions, including the House of Opera and Ballet, Republic Square, and the Matenadaran Museum, which houses the ancient Armenian manuscripts.
Visits to Zvartnots and Ejmiatsin—both UNESCO World Heritage monuments—and the Cathedral of Ejmiatsin, built in 303.
Travel to Areni village, famous for its local wines, with tasting experiences and a tour of the Khor Virap Monastery with sweeping views over Ararat Mountain.
An excursion to the Pagan Temple of Garni, which was restored in 1679 after an earthquake damaged the original structure, built in the 1st century AD.
Amid these trips and activities, accommodation is provided at three- and four-star hotels throughout, with a professional driver and English-speaking guides, breakfasts and entry to the sites and attractions, giving you the time to soak in the sights and exhibits.
Travelling Around the Spectacular Nature of the Danish Faroe Islands
Our third amazing holiday recommendation is the Faroe Islands, a tiny archipelago of 18 islands in the North Atlantic Ocean. This destination was recognised in the National Geographic Awards for its sustainability.
The architecture, nature, and landscapes are simply astonishing. Varying packages include the Guided Faroe Islands eight-day inclusive holiday, our Classic Faroe Islands Fly-Drive experience, or the four-day Faroe Islands Short Break.
Highlights include tours of the Vestmanna Mountains, home to rare and unusual species of seabirds; visiting the Viking settlements at Kvívík; and day trips to Mykines, an island accessible by boat where bird lovers can see the gannets that breed exclusively on the cliffs.
The islands are known for their unspoiled scenery, with wild beaches, fjords, and mossy mountains, world-class hiking trails and cliff paths, beautiful grass-roofed buildings and churches, and rustic local cuisines, including Skærpikjøt—a fried, fermented sheep dish.
While the weather tends to be wet and windy, the wildness of the archipelago is part of its charm and appeal; on a hike, you are considerably more likely to spot sheep, puffins and towering waterfalls cascading down to the ocean than you are in another vehicle.
Professional Guidance on Booking Remote or Unique Holiday Experiences
We often speak with guests thrilled at opportunities to travel somewhere completely new but who are concerned about the complexities of the logistics. We provide end-to-end support, from booking flights and airport transfers to arranging hotels and excursions and organising local guides to escort you throughout your holiday.
