Trips to Book a Year in Advance: Recommendations for Spring 2025 from Unforgettable Travel Company

Luxury experiential travel designer, Unforgettable Travel Company (unforgettabletravel.com)  shares its recommendations of where to book now, for travel in Spring 2025. Experience unique cultural events, enjoy out of peak season travel and beat any bookings-rush. 

Easter in Greece

Why: Spring is the ideal time to visit Greece as the weather starts to warm up but before the crowds of peak season. If guests visit during Easter, they can expect plenty of festivities. In Pyros on Santorini, thousands of small metal cans are set alight and displayed on walls, windows and ledges on Holy Friday, giving the appearance of the whole village being lit by candles from afar. Meanwhile, the island of Corfu is filled with music across Easter thanks to its acclaimed philharmonic orchestras. 

How: Unforgettable Travel Company offers eight night bespoke tours in Greece from £3,265 per person. This includes 4 or 5* accommodation, breakfast, transfers, private tours with driver and English speaking local guides, business class ferry tickets and regional flights. https://unforgettabletravel.com/our-passion-for-greece/

Feria in Seville

Why: Visiting historic Seville in the Spring offers the chance to partake in two of the city’s biggest events. Semana Santa, Holy Week (from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday) offers a fantastic opportunity to witness the traditional parades through the streets. Two weeks after, travel in April for the ultimate party: the Feria of Seville. The ‘casetas’ or tents become the place to be in the city for both inhabitants or visitors, where people have fun enjoying drinks, tapas and live music until the early hours of the morning and beyond.

How: Unforgettable Travel Company offers a 12 night bespoke tour in Spain and Portugal from £4,620 per person. This includes 12 nights in 4 or 5* accommodation, daily breakfast, private airport transfers, private road transfers, private tours with driver and English speaking guide plus entrance fees for sightseeing.

Calving in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania

Why: February and March marks the calving season for the Great Migration herds found in the Ndutu area in the Southern Serengeti. Huge herds of zebra and wildebeest give birth to their young at this time, meaning increased predator activity as well. Due to this peak, camps book far in advance so it’s wise to book early.

How: Unforgettable Travel Company offers a nine night bespoke tour to Tanzania from £6,900 per person. This includes five nights in a luxury tented camp in the Serengeti National Park with all meals, house drinks and game activities, four nights accommodation on Zanzibar Island and internal flights as per the itinerary.

Cherry Blossom Season in Japan

Why: Admired globally, the famed Cherry Blossom season or Sakura typically occurs from mid March to mid April. As soon as the blossoms arrive, family and friends gather beneath the trees for picnics and saké, turning parks and gardens into sites of mass outdoor celebrations. Whilst one of the most beautiful times to travel to Japan, the season sells out early and bookings are required more than six months in advance.

How: Unforgettable Travel Company offers an 11 night bespoke tour of Japan from £4,450 per person. This includes nine nights in 4 or 5* accommodation, two nights in hybrid ryokan accommodation, breakfast, two dinners, private airport transfers, transport cards, train tickets and privately guided tours and experiences in Tokyo, Kanazawa and Kyoto.

Songkran in Thailand

Why: Songkran, Thai New Year, is celebrated in mid April in Thailand and the festivities can last a whole week, marking the beginning of the traditional Thai calendar. People splash water on each other as a symbol of cleansing and renewal, while also paying respects to elders and visiting temples. Join the street parties in the big cities and down on the beaches to welcome in the new year.

How: Unforgettable Travel Company offers a 10 night bespoke tour of Thailand from £4,950 per person. This includes eight nights in 5* hotel accommodation, two nights in a Golden Triangle lodge, selected meals, private airport transfers, private toad transfers, regional flights, entrance fees to attractions and private tours and sightseeing with driver and guide.
