Across 12 unforgettable days, you’ll get behind-the-scenes access at some of Italy’s most incredible locations, celebrating your anniversary with some of the finest Italian food.

England

Many a romantic story has been set in England, likely because the country’s charm has a certain quaintness about it. Perhaps it’s the winding country roads, architecture steeped in history, or the prestige of the Royal Family. On our British Royale journey, you’ll even visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Let the “marriage of true minds” meet in Stratford-upon-Avon as you visit the bard’s home, and amble through the Tudor cottages and medieval buildings that line the cobbled streets. Continue your next chapter in the Lake District, where you’ll stay in the five-star Grand Hotel & Spa.

France 

Carcassonne castle hotel

When it comes to anniversary trip ideas Paris is always up at the top, why not make 2025 the year you explore outside of the French capital? On Luxury Gold’s Ultimate Southern France tour, you’ll spend your romantic vacation soaking up the 1950s glamour of St. Tropez as you dine at La Magdeleine for a Michelin Star meal. From private concerts to accompany dinner to a chauffeur-driven ride in a vintage car through the countryside to an acclaimed winery for a private tour, and even stay in a luxurious hotel built within the medieval walls of Carcassonne. France knows how to do romance wherever you are in the country, and with Luxury Gold you’ll see it all.

Red Rock, Arizona

Imagine an anniversary trip filled with hot air balloons, hiking, and unforgettable natural beauty. If that sounds like the way you want to spend your romantic holiday, then head to Red Rock national park, Arizona. You can see the namesake geology either on horseback, on foot, or on a hot air balloon ride (which has to be the frontrunner if you’re looking to make an impression). Let nature do the talking as you watch the sun set over these incredible rock formations.

You’ll come home with newfound wine knowledge, rose-tinted memories, and a bottle of something special to remember your anniversary trip with. 

 

Bavaria, Germany 

Neuschwanstein castle, germany

The land of fairytale castles, Bavaria is the place to treat your partner like royalty. Based in southwestern Germany, you’re spoilt for views in Bavaria with its countless castles and stunning natural scenery. You can tour famous castles like Neuschwanstein, or take it one step further and stay in one of the several historic castles that have been converted into hotels. Make sure to mark your anniversary by taking the Romantic Road, a route between Würzburg and Füssen that can be driven in 1-2 days, passing iconic castles and sparkling lakes, winding through Franconia’s wine country and Bavaria’s beer territory against a picturesque backdrop of the Alps. 

  

Norway 

Geiranger fjord, norway

Escape to one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world for your anniversary: the Norwegian fjords. Stay in the heart of Geiranger on Luxury Gold’s Timeless Scandinavia journey – as you gaze at the magnificent fjords and mountains from your room at the Hotel Union Geiranger, you’ll hardly want to leave your hotel.
