Luxury New York Holidays

Feel the buzz of the famous city that never sleeps with a luxury break to New York, New York (so good they named it twice!).  It is almost impossible to squeeze everything that New York has to offer into one trip, but our travel experts have the skills to create an itinerary to encompass the most special experiences that this incredible city has to offer.

WORLD-CLASS SHOPPING AND SIGHTSEEING IN THE BIG APPLE

New York pulls you into its contagious energy from the moment you arrive.  Everything here is larger than life and full of excitement so prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure.  The bucket list adventures never end with a ferry ride to famous Staten Island to visit the iconic Statue of Liberty, capturing the breath-taking views from the top of the Empire State Building, or immersing yourself in the frenetic energy of the neon-lit Times Square.  Culture vultures will be in heaven with a long list of renowned museums to explore, including The MET, the Guggenheim and the MoMA, and no visit to New York is complete without a wander through the leafy boulevards of Central Park.

It is impossible to mention New York without mentioning the shopping. This is the home of Bloomingdales and Macys - two of the World’s most famous department stores, while high-end labels and designer boutiques await along super-sophisticated Fifth Avenue.  Many shoppers love to head here for a whirlwind Christmas shopping trip, but if you have the time, we recommend tagging on some extra time to immerse yourself in the magic of New York in the festive season.  Skating before the giant Christmas tree at Rockefeller Centre will revive all of those childhood Christmas movie memories while the grown-up in you can discover the magic of the New York City Ballet’s rendition of the Nutcracker, which is a truly spellbinding experience.

New York is equally magical as a one-stop luxury city break, or as a two- or three-night addition to a multi-centre city itinerary along with Boston, Washington DC, Las Vegas, or Toronto. Or you may prefer to combine it with a retreat to the sun-kissed beaches of the Caribbean.  Whatever you prefer, we can take care of all of the arrangements while you decide what to pack!
