Chicago, Nashville and Cape Cod are all exciting new additions to Insight Vacations' 2013 USA and Canada program, which features 24 holiday options.

Managing director Lorraine Sharp said that with the Australian dollar going even further, more clients were leaning towards luxury options such as Insight's deluxe Gold program. "Due to this increased demand, we have expanded our deluxe Gold program with seven new itineraries this year, including the 21-day Rhythms and Flavours of America, the nine-day Southern Tastes and Dixie Tunes, and the eight-day Icons of the American Heartland," she said.

Meanwhile, APT is getting personal – offering its passengers more space with the introduction of Smaller Group Journeys in its latest Canada and Alaska program. These itineraries have a maximum of 40 guests, when in recent years its land tour groups have comprised 48 to 52 passengers. The 2013 brochure contains 11 Rockies and Alaskan Cruise holidays, three Winter Touring holidays, three Alaskan Journeys, six Eastern Canada Holidays and two new Discovery and Air Cruising tours of the US.
