Discover iconic & private gardens around the world combined with iconic sightseeing & cultural experiences Themed Worldwide Experiences Personalised boutique discoveries for discerning travellers, combining iconic attractions, great gardens, art, music, history & gourmet experiences. Travel beyond the gate and into the finest homes and gardens – public & private, natural & created, and enjoy unique cultural experiences around the world. Welcome to Botanica World Discoveries If you are a discerning traveller looking for a unique travel experience, then you will enjoy Botanica's wonderful collection of worldwide boutique small group land journeys and small ship river and coastal cruises. They are uniquely designed for those who enjoy getting 'off the beaten track', far away from overcrowded mainstream tourist attractions. Explore beyond the garden gate into stately homes and manicured gardens, as well as magnificent and iconic destination attractions. Each itinerary, cruise and land journey is different but each brings you the local flavour and culture of the area you are visiting. Our travellers tell us they really appreciate the exclusive opportunity to visit places not open to the general public. They especially enjoy travelling with those who share a similar interest. It is a chance to share ideas, engage in stimulating conversation and make new friends. In 2015, we are introducing exciting new compatible themes to our botanical garden and gourmet tours and cruises, which will embrace art, music and history. We have some interesting new guest lecturers who will give you the chance to learn more about the destinations you visit. As part of the APT group of companies, Botanica brings you more than 85 years of touring and cruising experience. We are delighted to be able to charter and theme beautiful small river and coastal ships owned within the group for your enjoyment. With offices, suppliers and over 800 staff around the world, we have unsurpassed expertise in researching, planning and operating worldwide travel experiences, which means you can travel with confidence, knowing that our professional team take care of everything for you. In 2015, Botanica will celebrate its 15th birthday, so we have planned some special 'birthday' cruises and tours. I have also written a book on the history of Botanica for all our guests to enjoy when they travel with us in 2015. I invite you to join Botanica somewhere in the world.
