HASTWELL TRAVEL & CRUISE

What if 2027 was the year you stopped waiting?

Waiting for a friend to commit.
Waiting for the perfect timing.
Waiting for someone else to want to travel.

Egypt Uncovered is a fully hosted small group journey for women aged 50+ who know there is still so much of the world they want to experience.

Hosted by Elizabeth, this carefully curated adventure combines the incredible wonders of ancient Egypt with the comfort, confidence and connection of travelling with a small group of like-minded women.

This tour could be perfect for you if you:

✅ Love travel but don't have someone to travel with
✅ Have a friend who's always saying, "we should do a trip together"
✅ Have a partner who'd rather stay home
✅ Are ready to embrace a new chapter and create some wonderful memories
✅ Have always wanted to experience the magic of Egypt for yourself

Or perhaps, as you're reading this, someone's name has already come to mind.

The friend who talks about travelling but never quite takes the plunge.
The sister you've always said you'd travel with one day.
The colleague who's finally putting herself first.
The woman embracing a new chapter and looking for something exciting to look forward to.

Tag them, share this post with them, or better yet... invite them to join you.

With just 2 places remaining, this could be the adventure you've both been waiting for.

Because there will always be reasons to wait. But some opportunities are simply too special to leave for "one day".

Life is short. Drink the champagne. Buy the shoes. Take the trip.

🌎 Current destination we're obsessing about: The Faroe Islands

Why isn't everyone talking about this place?

From the iconic Drangarnir sea arch to dramatic fjords and puffin-filled cliffs, the Faroe Islands offer some of the most extraordinary landscapes in Europe.

A huge thank you to Hastwell Travel client Alan Bevan for sharing these stunning images from his recent trip.

Safe to say we've added the Faroe Islands to the very top of our travel wish list.

A wonderful beginning to our HASTWELL TRAVEL & CRUISE South Africa Tour in beautiful Cape Town. ✨

We started with a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain, rising above the fog to take in the most incredible views. We’ve wandered through the stunning Kirstenbosch Gardens, explored the city, and visited the District Six Museum to learn more about Cape Town’s powerful history.

Our Cape Peninsula tour took us all the way to the Cape of Good Hope, with breathtaking scenery along the way and a special stop at Boulders Beach to see the famous penguin colony. 🐧

Add in delicious food, great company and our stay at the V&A Waterfront, and it’s been the perfect start to an unforgettable journey.
