Cannon Expeditions

Specialty

Europe

Italy, Scotland, Portugal, Greece — slow trips, good trains, good pacing.

Europe is big, and the wrong trip can feel like a checklist. We plan in arcs, not stops — a first-time Italy trip might be seven nights between Florence and the Amalfi, not ten cities in twelve days. We book the rail, we book the drivers, we book the tables.

Where we go

Regions we know deeply.

Italy

Tuscany, Rome, Amalfi, the Dolomites. River cruises or a private driver for the south.

Scotland

Edinburgh and the Highlands. Small-group distillery trips or a self-drive of the Inner Hebrides.

Portugal

Lisbon, the Douro valley, the Algarve. Our value pick for a first European trip.

Greece

Athens, Peloponnese, the Cyclades. Late May or September — skip July.

Pacing

7 nightsOne region, deeply.

14+ nightsMulti-country, train-stitched.

When

"The Italians have a phrase — 'stare bene' — being-well. That's the brief for every Italy trip we build."
