Travel is one of life's greatest joys. Whether it's eating chilli crab from bustling Singapore street vendors in 45 degree heat, strolling ancient streets or seeing magnificent beasts in their natural habitat, discovering cultures and landscapes different from ours is enriching. But while travel enriches our lives, it requires us to dig deep into our pockets – and often quite deeply. The workaround? Travel deals, vacation packages, and flight and cruise sales that happen more regularly than you think. You just have to know where to look.
Because not all vacations are equal, we've curated our selection of the best current travel deals. Spend your money on a Roman sorbet, a luxurious spa day or a beachfront villa at one of the best resorts in Maldives instead of taking the long-haul flight there (which, let's be honest, is often the least exciting part of the trip).
Here are the best travel deals, sales and vacation packages you need to know.
