If your clients think Texas is all cowboys and BBQ, this journey gives them both—and plenty more.

Travel USA’s 15-day Explore Texas itinerary starts in Houston, with a full day exploring Space Center Houston and NASA Johnson Space Center a NASA expert guide.
Pick up a rental car or go properly Texan with an F-150 pickup truck and head west to San Antonio for the Alamo, River Walk and Tex-Mex. Then swap city life for two nights at Mayan Dude Ranch near Bandera, where horseback riding, ranch activities and meals deliver a genuine Texas dude ranch experience.

Continue through Texas Hill Country via LBJ Ranch and Salt Lick BBQ to Austin for the State Capitol, live music, food trucks and a sunset kayak beneath the famous Congress Avenue bats.
Finally, head north to Grapevine for four nights, an ideal base for exploring North Texas. Discover Historic Main Street and Texas wine, then experience Fort Worth’s Stockyards, a longhorn cattle drive, Championship Rodeo and Billy Bob’s Texas before heading into Dallas for JFK history. Space. Cowboys. BBQ. And plenty in between—one memorable Texas road trip.

. . . What’s Included

The 14-night package includes accommodation in Houston, San Antonio, Bandera, Austin and Grapevine, plus Alamo car rental. Experiences include Space Center Houston with a NASA expert guide, two nights at a genuine dude ranch with meals, horseback riding and activities, Austin sunset kayak tour, Grapevine food and wine tour, Stockyards Championship Rodeo and JFK Assassination & Museum Tour, all backed by Travel USA planning and 10% commission.

Travel USA has teamed with Brand USA for America The Beautiful: One Adventure At A Time, an eight-week campaign showcasing ways to experience the USA. Each week features a specially created Travel USA itinerary showing travel advisors what’s possible for their clients.

This week we head to the Lone Star State with Explore Texas, a 15-day self-drive journey combining space exploration, cowboy country, live music, history, Texas BBQ and experiences your clients may not expect.

Beyond The Obvious
Texas with Travel USA: Photo Mayan Dude Ranch

Cowboys are hardly unexpected in Texas, but staying on a genuine dude ranch is a different story.

At Mayan Dude Ranch near Bandera, clients spend two nights experiencing ranch life, with horseback riding at the heart of the stay and meals and scheduled ranch activities included, with time to slow down and experience a different side of Texas.

Then there’s Grapevine. Rather than automatically staying in Dallas or Fort Worth, clients keep their rental car and base themselves here for four nights. Historic Main Street, Texas wine and food make Grapevine a destination in its own right, while Fort Worth is around 30 minutes away and Dallas around 35 minutes by car, making it easy to explore both without changing hotels.

Sometimes going beyond the obvious is as much about where clients stay as what they see.

If you have clients who have always dreamed of really exploring Hawai‘i, Travel USA has created a true bucket-list adventure—17 days combining Oahu, Kaua‘i, Maui and the Island of Hawai‘i, packed with incredible experiences and inclusions along the way.

It begins on Oahu, mixing Waikiki’s beaches and energy with Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian culture, a sunset catamaran cruise, the legendary North Shore and spectacular landscapes of Kualoa Ranch, showcasing the many different sides of the island. Then it’s on to Kaua‘i, where Hawai‘i becomes wilder and greener, with Waimea Canyon, lush valleys and the soaring cliffs of the Na Pali Coast creating some of Hawai‘i’s most dramatic scenery.
Maui brings another change of pace, from sunrise above Haleakala to waterfalls, rainforest and beautiful beaches along the Road to Hana.
Finally, the Island of Hawai‘i reveals another side, from swimming with manta rays off Kona to exploring the volcanic landscapes around Hilo.
It’s a memorable way to experience four very different Hawaiian islands, but it’s also just a starting point. Travel USA can tailor the journey, or create something completely different around your clients’ interests, timeframe and budget.

. . . Experiences

This 16-night adventure includes ocean view and oceanfront accommodation on all four islands, with unforgettable experiences throughout. Explore Pearl Harbor and Kualoa Ranch, fly doors-off over Kaua‘i, watch the sunrise from Haleakala, drive the Road to Hana, snorkel Molokini or explore Lanai by 4WD, swim with manta rays and discover Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. Rental cars and Travel USA’s personalised trip planning are also included. View the package HERE.

Oahu and Maui may be the islands clients know best, but Kaua‘i and the Island of Hawai‘i reveal very different sides of Hawai‘i.

Kaua‘i is Hawai‘i at its dramatic best, with rainforest-covered valleys, deep canyons and the towering sea cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. Waimea Canyon and Koke’e State Park are spectacular from the ground, while the included doors-off helicopter flight offers an unforgettable perspective from above.

On the Island of Hawai‘i, the scenery changes again. Clients can snorkel with manta rays after dark off Kona before travelling to Hilo and Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park, where lava fields, steam vents, craters and Nāhuku (Thurston Lava Tube) reveal the volcanic forces still shaping the island.

Together, all four islands create a journey that shows just how much variety Hawai‘i has to offer.

Northern California

America The Beautiful: One Adventure At A Time

Explore Northern California

Northern California, USA Sequoia National Park

There’s much more to Northern California than San Francisco, and Travel USA’s 17-day Explore Northern California journey brings together some of the region’s most spectacular landscapes in just one memorable self-drive adventure.

Begin with three nights in San Francisco before picking up a car and heading south. Follow the Pacific Coast Highway through Santa Cruz to Monterey, then continue via Carmel and the dramatic coastline of Big Sur to San Luis Obispo.

From the coast, head inland to three of California’s great national parks. Clients can walk among giant sequoias in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, before spending three nights exploring awe-inspiring Yosemite National Park, where soaring granite cliffs, cascading waterfalls and vast valleys create scenery photographs simply don’t do justice. From Yosemite, continue through the Sierra Nevada to beautiful South Lake Tahoe, then Sacramento and the vineyards of Napa Valley.

On the return journey to San Francisco, stop to see the towering redwoods of Muir Woods and waterfront Sausalito.

It’s a great combination of coast, mountains, forests, lakes, national parks, wine country and some truly spectacular drives—all brought together in one Northern California road trip.

. . . More To Explore

The 16-night journey includes four nights in San Francisco, one night in Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Visalia, Oakhurst and Sacramento, three nights at Yosemite, two nights in South Lake Tahoe and two nights in Napa Valley.

San Francisco and Yosemite may grab the headlines, but some of Northern California’s most rewarding discoveries lie beyond the obvious.

The Majestic Mountain Loop introduces clients to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, home to giant sequoias including the General Sherman and General Grant trees, surrounded by mountains, canyons and spectacular scenery.

Further north, South Lake Tahoe brings a different landscape, with clear alpine waters surrounded by the Sierra Nevada and opportunities to hike, cruise or take in the views.
Then there’s Napa Valley, where two nights give clients time to explore one of America’s great wine regions before returning to San Francisco.

Together, these stops add even more variety to the journey and show clients just how much there is to discover beyond Northern California’s best-known names.

3. Uniworld Egypt

3: Uniworld: The Finest In Luxury Travel

The S.S. Sphinx Or The River Tosca?

Uniworld offers an optional Abu Simbel excursion that includes early morning flights to the iconic temple, a couple of hours to explore, and then back to the ship for lunch. The Kiwi group is pictured at the temple, which was moved to higher ground after the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

Uniworld’s two Nile ships, the S.S. Sphinx and the River Tosca both offer the same itinerary, but agents will need to match their clients to the ships.

“Guests do exactly the same experiences, they have the same shore excursions, the same activities and events—it’s really just about what décor appeals to your clients,” says Uniworld’s md ANZ Alice Ager.

Both ships have a pool, a shop, spa, a coffee corner and a rooftop bar.

If clients love the colourful landscape of Egypt, traditional décor and the bright blues of the staterooms, suggest the purpose-built S.S. Sphinx, which was the preferred ship of a number of the Kiwi agents, says Ager.

For those looking for a more understated luxury feel, the refreshed River Tosca delivers. (It also offers plush seating in the lounge and restaurant, as opposed to the traditional seating on the S.S. Sphinx.)

“There’s really not a lot in it. I would actually recommend don’t overthink it, both ships are absolutely stunning,” says Ager. “Whatever ship you’re on you sorta fall in love with it.”

. . . Groups

For agents selling groups on the Nile, Ager points out that the all-suite River Tosca can offer a standard room type, which she says is especially popular with ship charters. The S.S. Sphinx is suited for those looking for a mix of cabin types within a group, she adds. See more from Ager in this clip HERE.

. .  The Abu Simbel Add-on

Pictured: Uniworld offers an optional Abu Simbel excursion that includes early morning flights to the iconic temple, a couple of hours to explore, and then back to the ship for lunch. The Kiwi group is pictured at the temple, which was moved to higher ground after the construction of the Aswan High Dam.

Dining on the Nile

Dining is definitely a highlight for passengers travelling on Uniworld’s S.S. Sphinx and River Tosca ships.

Breakfast and lunch are buffet-style, and there’s changing barbequed meats, salads and sauces on offer as well as a traditional Egyptian share plate for the table at lunch.

The onboard soups were also a hit with the Kiwis. Dinner is a changing selection of western favourites, as well as the option to sample some local fare. There’s also a vegetarian option.

Let's Talk Mobility

Egypt is really a destination for those who are mobile. Ancient Egypt was not built with modern accessibility standards in mind, and a luxury cruise product cannot turn an ancient archaeological site into a fully-accessible attraction.

There can be uneven ancient stone surfaces, steps and some steep descents into the tombs.

A Nile cruise provides an excellent base from which to explore Egypt, but the excursions still involve walking, steps and uneven surfaces.

Dendera Stay: The Uniworld Difference

Uniworld Famil: Agents at the Dendra Temple
Travel Agents at the Dendra Temple on the Uniworld Famil

There are many companies offering a Nile River cruise, but Uniworld is the only cruise line, that sails ‘downstream’ north to Dendera to overnight in the settlement.

The cruise line has its guests at the colourful Dendera Temple first thing in the morning, giving the feeling of a VIP experience at the popular site. The venue is a short drive from where the ship is docked.

“The best part about that is that when you wake up on the first morning you wake to the incredible view of sunrise over Dendera Temple from the ship, which is stunning,” says Uniworld’s Alice Ager.

“It means Uniworld guests visit this amazing temple early, before the sun gets too high in the sky and the temperature increases and before all the other tourists arrive on their coach. I think it’s a great way to visit and a lovely feature of the Uniworld program.”

The Kiwi agents on the cruise say the itinerary is another Uniworld unique selling point.
“You can’t under estimate the benefits of getting there early before the crowds—and before the heat,” says xtravel’s Tori Keating. “We were literally among the first people there and not having to jostle for space means there is time to really explore the colourful temple, the hieroglyphics and the sheer scale of the temple.” On other cruise lines the trip to Dendera is made by coach.

A Grand (Suite) Cruise Along The Nile
Uniworld Egypt Grand Suite

For clients looking for more space on their Nile cruise recommend the S.S. Sphinx’s grand suites.

There’s 18 of the 40m2 cabins available and they feature separate sleeping and sitting areas, a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, a huge walk-through wardrobe and a giant marble bathroom complete with a bath. See more HERE.

The Egyptologists

Each Uniworld Egypt sailing features three onboard Egyptologists, which are with their group from exploring the pyramids and the sphinx at Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum through to the cruise.

The level of detail and scale of Egypt’s history can be overwhelming­—but the Uniworld Egyptologists make it engaging, fun and bite sized. They also know where to find the shade and are on hand to offer plenty of tips, from the best photo locations through to helping to negotiate with the ‘energetic’ local salesmen.

Uniworld Egypt

1: Uniworld: The Finest In Luxury Travel

Kiwi Agents’ Nile Adventure Begins

Uniworld In Egypt Sep 2026

It was a day of both bucket list moments and recreating past memories for the 30-plus members of the Kiwi delegation on Uniworld’s 50th anniversary mega famil to Egypt.

The itinerary officially began with a trip to Egypt’s famed Giza pyramids followed up by a visit to the world’s biggest museum dedicated to a single civilisation. And despite the hype, and a repeat visit for some, many of the Kiwi agents were still in awe. The agents are not alone. Alice Ager Uniworld md ANZ says Egypt and the Nile ‘is having a moment with Kiwi travellers’. Uniworld’s Egypt sales are up 300% on last year for New Zealand alone.

“It’s been amazing to see it come back to life in such a short period of time.” And given that growth, Ager says it’s incredible to be able to host the Kiwi agents, and their plus ones, ‘to experience the Uniworld difference on the Nile first hand’.

The regional Uniworld boss says Kiwis tend to be intrepid travellers keen to explore, to taste local flavours, and learn about the culture. “This itinerary is going to share the wonder of Egypt’s ancient history with them in style and luxury…they are in for a wonderful experience! We love investing in our Kiwi agents; we want them to feel, live and breathe what we offer and how Uniworld is different.”

. . . Starting Strong

Uniworld’s Egypt itinerary starts and ends with two nights in Cairo and includes a half-day at the new Grand Egyptian Museum.
“It’s a whopping museum full of things that have rarely been seen before,” says Ager. “Many of the pieces have been moved from the Original Egyptian Museum in Cairo, but there are also thousands of pieces that have been kept in archive for decades. It’s a great day as the museum brings together all the stories and history of ancient Egypt that you learn through the voyage.”

View Feature 2: Click HERE. 

Five Star Luxury

Clients on Uniworld’s Egypt itinerary stay at the five-star Ritz Carlton or the Four Seasons Nile Plaza.
Suggest those staying at the Ritz Carlton hotel visit the nearby old Egyptian Museum. “While the [Grand Egyptian Museum] is modern, clean, air conditioned, the old museum is like stepping back in time and a sight to behold in itself,” says Alice Ager.

“There are some gaps where key pieces have been moved, but they have a replica of the original Rosetta Stone which unlocked the code of language. Without that tablet, we wouldn’t be able to translate many of the ancient languages including hieroglyphics, which blows my mind!”

When To Visit

Depending on how clients handle the heat, the ideal times of year to visit Egypt are during autumn to spring, says Uniworld md ANZ Alice Ager. “Summer is too hot and dry and we don’t operate during the hottest months of Jul and Aug. I once visited in Dec and didn’t pack a jumper so spent the week on the Nile wearing my husband’s sweatshirt.”

Ager says the winter months are a dry 25 degrees in the day time, but notes that temperatures drop when the sun goes down, with a cool overnight and early morning. Pro tip: Christmas really is the best time if you want to avoid the high temperatures, she adds.

Soundtracks Of The South

America The Beautiful: One Adventure At A Time

The Heart Of American Music

Follow the rhythm of America’s musical heartland on an 11-day journey through Nashville, The Shoals, the Mississippi Delta and Memphis.

Combining the South’s best-known music cities with places clients may be less familiar with creates a richer journey through the story of American music.

Start with four nights in Nashville, where country music, songwriting and honky tonks set the scene, with visits to the Country Music Hall of Fame, RCA Studio B and a Grand Ole Opry show with backstage tour. Then head south via Lynchburg and the Jack Daniel’s Distillery.

Spend two nights in Florence, the ideal base for exploring Muscle Shoals and the legendary studios where some of America’s most influential records were created. From there, follow the Blues Highway into the Mississippi Delta for a night in Clarksdale, surrounded by blues history, live music and juke-joint culture. Finish with three nights in Memphis, where Sun Studio, Beale Street and Graceland bring rock‘n’roll and soul history to life.

It’s a well-paced journey that can be booked as featured or tailor-made by Travel USA to suit your clients, with destinations, experiences and length of stay adapted to create their own Southern adventure.

Nashville and Memphis may grab the headlines, but some of the South’s most rewarding discoveries lie between them.

The Shoals, centred around Florence and Muscle Shoals in Alabama, is where artists including Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and The Rolling Stones recorded in legendary studios. It’s also home to Ivy Green, the birthplace and childhood home of Helen Keller, adding another fascinating piece of American history.

Further west, Clarksdale sits at the heart of the Mississippi Delta and the story of the blues. Follow Highway 61, explore the Delta Blues Museum and Mississippi Blues Trail, then experience the music where it still lives—in the city’s juke joints and live-music venues.

Together, they reveal stories and places clients might otherwise miss and make a journey through the South all the more memorable.
