Italy's Amalfi coast is legendary for its spectacular scenery and beautiful fishing towns nestled in the coves between the cliffs. In our six-day trip to the Sorrento peninsula – starting at an extremely competitive £729 – you'll take in the beautiful village of Sant'Agata and enjoy views of the Bay of Naples and Bay of Salerno.

Perhaps you've always wanted to experience the grandeur of the Scottish Highlands by steam – well, we can do one better by offering you the company of the BBC's Kirsty Wark on a unique trip from Fort William to Mallaig on the Jacobite steam train (which you might also recognise as the Hogwarts Express).

If you fancy something further afield, you can explore the famous Riding School in Vienna – home of the Lipizzaner stallions – and sail the Danube with renowned historian and Vienna enthusiast Lucy Worsley.

These are just a few of a diverse range of carefully crafted holiday experiences that also include riding the Orient Express with Michael Portillo, visiting Highclere Castle (the real Downton Abbey) by Belmond British Pullman train, and staying at a real ice hotel in Transylvania.

If shorter breaks are more your speed, there are plenty on offer: How about a night at Raymond Blanc's legendary Manoir aux Quat' Saisons? You'll get to savour the seven-course tasting menu (two Michelin stars, no less), stay in one of only 32 individually designed bedrooms and, with a senior gardener, tour the 11 gardens and orchards that provide the restaurant with its fruits and vegetables.

Or you could spend a weekend at Ragdale Hall spa in Leicestershire and enjoy the famous rooftop infinity pool, candle pool or outdoor waterfall pool – with a Clarins gift worth £35 thrown in!
