The Wishlist: Where Will 2026 Take You?

Every year brings a fresh opportunity to rethink how we travel – where we go, how we experience the world, and what we want from our time away. As we look to 2026, one thing is clear: travel wishlists are no longer vague ideas saved for “someday.” They’re becoming plans, dates in diaries, and trips that finally happen. That’s why we’re proud to introduce The Wishlist, our latest luxury travel campaign. It’s a carefully curated collection of the destinations, experiences, and best luxury resorts in the world that we believe will define the year ahead – and help answer one of the biggest questions travellers are asking right now: where to go in 2026?

A Year of Progress — And Possibility

Looking back, the past year marked a turning point for Destinology. Luxury cruise holidays became our fastest-growing travel style, with more of our clients choosing to explore the world by sea than ever before. We expanded the way we travel, reaching further, thinking bigger, and creating experiences that simply weren’t possible a few years ago.

Behind the scenes, we also invested heavily in our people – strengthening our specialist teams to make sure every single client receives expert advice, thoughtful recommendations, and seamless service. And in a major milestone for us, we introduced the ability to book beach holidays online, making it easier than ever to plan with confidence.

As we move into a fresh new year, our focus remains unchanged: helping you see more of the world, with clarity, care, and excitement – whatever shape your next holiday takes.

Why The Wishlist Matters Now

The way we travel is evolving. Value matters more than ever, but so does trust. Expertise still counts, and meaningful relationships with the world’s leading luxury hotels and travel partners make a real difference.

The Wishlist is built on everything we’ve learned in our two-decade history – from the trips we’ve created together to the trust you’ve placed in us year after year. It’s designed for travellers who want more than inspiration. It’s for those ready to turn ideas into action.

Whether you’re planning a once-in-a-lifetime escape, a long-overdue break, or an experience that gives something back, this is your invitation to stop postponing and start planning.

What Is The Wishlist?

We all have one.

A place we’ve talked about for years.
A trip that keeps being pushed back.
An experience that always feels slightly out of reach.

The Wishlist is Destinology’s way of saying: now is the time.

This campaign is about turning intention into reality, transforming “someday” into “this year.” It’s created for travellers who want to pause, reset, explore more deeply, or finally commit to the trip they’ve always promised themselves.

Inside, you’ll find a handpicked selection of destinations, hotels, and experiences chosen not because they’re fashionable, but because they deliver something genuinely special.

Five Ways to Travel in 2026

The Wishlist is shaped around five distinct themes, each reflecting a different mindset for travel right now. Together, they form a personal compass — helping you decide not just where to go in 2026, but how you want to feel when you get there.

Some are about slowing down and switching off. Others focus on going further, staying longer, or choosing places that reward curiosity. From iconic destinations reimagined to lesser-known corners paired with world-class hotels, each theme offers a new perspective on what a modern travel wishlist can look like.

What are the Themes?

1. Relax & Reset 
2. Explore & Encounter
3. Bask & Bond
4. Plan & Pursue 
5. Conserve & Connect
