Montenegro, an emerging Mediterranean hot spot, is our first pick. Intrepid Travel reports a 45 percent rise in bookings from North America, perhaps a spillover from nearby, heavily touristed Croatia. This small Balkan country has new developments like Portonovi, a 60-acre marina and luxury resort in spectacular Boka Bay, and One&Only's first European location opened in 2020. Intrepid's Montenegro Sailing Adventure around the Bay of Kotor (shown here) will also launch. Go for Montenegro's cobalt waters, historic villages and natural beauty.

Go Down Under. Litchfield National Park, in Australia’s Northern Territory, has new access points to swimming holes and waterfalls, along with new roads, trails and viewing platforms to scope out the scenery and wildlife. Visit acclaimed artist Bruce Munro's exhibit, Field of Light Uluru. Don't miss the Henley on Todd Regatta, the world’s only dry boating regatta; boaters hold lightweight frames and race through a sandy river bed. The event ends with motorized boats that fire off water cannons and water bombs.
