  • Your 2025 Travel Horoscopes

    Welcome to the New Year! It’s 2025, baby! If this month is anything like December, it’s going to start tumbling way out of control and we’ll be making Valentines plans before you know it. If you’re like me, you woke up this morning in Ireland to an icy blue sky and frost hanging to every blade of grass with that resentment building up all morning thinking: ‘it’s a new year? I thought we were, like, over winter?’ But alas, you live in Ireland, you get Irish weather. And that’s why we have to keep our hope burning alive by planning and booking your holiday in the next 28 days. So, where to start? Well, the universe might already know where you’re going this year. Not only know where you should be going but why you need to go there. For this, we enlist the help of Madame Doyle. She is the psychic alter-ego of Travel Times new Head of Content and Media, and she is going to be deciding where you should be going on holidays based on what your 2025 yearly horoscope is predicting for you! Throughout this article, Madame Doyle insists you imagine her as a very, very old redheaded woman, her face lit up as she croons over a crystal ball, waiving her hand in the air and sending you off to your nearest travel agency. Included in this article are the travel recommendations based on the horoscopes for the following signs: Aries, Taurus, Capricorn, Pisces, Leo and Gemini- catch up with us on Monday for Part Two if your sign isn’t on the list! Aries (March 21st-April 19th) First up, and obviously in no predictable order (pun intended), Madame Doyle brings you Aries. The rambunctious ram, your fire sign means you’re a bold and ambitious type of person, who loves a challenge and goes after what you want with an unmatched passion and motivation. You’re usually a fast-paced person who would probably enjoy a city break or lots of activities for your holidays. But as Saturn enters into your sign in 2025, your year and the events happening around you are going to teach you a thing or two about patience: this means it’s a good idea to start nurturing your nervous system with a cultural reset. Madame Doyle of Travel Times suggests taking it easier this year and looking after yourself in Greece. Before, you might have been tempted towards busier islands like Rhodes or Crete, but we recommend travelling to a quieter island like Cythera or Cyclades which are easily accessible by ferry from Piraeus or daily thirty-five-minute flights from Athens. Taurus (April 20th – May 20th) Next, we have Taurus, represented by the bull. Your earth sign means that you enjoy relaxing in serene environments with soft sounds and soothing aromas. If you had a choice- you’d choose comfort and luxury above all else. All of this combines to make you a bit of a creature of habit and for you we would usually recommend a spa break or a week sitting by the pool in a nice climate. The thing is, 2025 has something more in store for you than just your normal holiday! With Uranus, the planet of disruption, ending its journey in Taurus this year, Madame Doyle recommends trying something outside of your comfort zone. If you want to step out of your comfort zone while remaining comfortable- big crazy activities probably aren’t for you. That’s why Travel Times thinks that our Taurus boys and girls should start small, knowing that the best way to enjoy a new experience or location is through food! That’s why we’re recommending Japan for your 2025 destination. Japan is a clean and safe country with beautiful architecture and immersive tourist attractions. Every hotel and hostel upholds a high standard of luxury, comfort and cleanliness and there are amazing dining experiences at every turn. We’re not saying you should go straight to trying Takoyaki (fried balls with octopus) but you could start by enjoying some exceptional Wagyu steaks and sushi! Capricorn (December 22nd-January 19th) Thirdly, we have Capricorns, the sea-goat sign usually comes off a little restrained at first, but their closest friends and family know they love to party. We know that inside every Capricorn is a mischievous troublemaker, ready to let loose! In the Natural House astrology system, you’ve had Pluto in your Tenth House of ambition, success, promotions, redundancy and resignation for FOURTEEN YEARS! Starting since January 27th 2008, Pluto has been deeply effecting your power and control issues. Many believe that since 2008, the world was plunged into a period of upheaval that dismantled outdated systems, forcing collective introspection around power, responsibility and sustainability which is pretty close to the mark- thinks Madame Doyle! But now, Capris, it’s over and this year is your time to shine as your horoscope says that it’s only upwards from here as you experience profound positive growth in your personal and professional life. You deserve to let your hair down, have a round of tequila shots and congratulate yourself for surviving. At Travel Times, we suggest visiting Paris. As an Earth sign, you’ll really enjoy the Tuileries Garden and the beautiful architecture, and Paris also has a thriving night life- whether you want to let loose at a club or enjoy a good bottle of wine with dinner! Pisces (February 19th- March 20th) Next, we have Pisces. The two fish in your sign- swimming in opposite directions- represents your division between fantasy and reality. As the final sign in the Zodiac, Pisces are thought to experience all the lessons of every sign- the joys and the pains, the hopes and the fears, making you an empathetic and compassionate human. This is great for your loved ones but it’s not always a good sign for you- and too often you’re swallowed by your own emotions with catastrophic thinking spiralling you into fantastical realities that just make you anxious. Saturn- the planet of boundaries and restrictions- has been in your sign for the past few years but it’s finally moving away. That means, we think you deserve to celebrate 2025 and yourself in a big way! As a water sign, you’re probably drawn towards the sea and find yourself going back to the same places in the world again and again. Whether that’s a sunny beach holiday or a European river cruise. But Travel Times and Madame Doyle have an exciting new idea for your 2025 destination. We think you deserve to book that once-in-a-lifetime trip this year and that’s why we’re recommending seeing the Northern Lights in Norway or Iceland! This trip has probably been on your or your loved one’s mind for a while and with tours like Hurtigruten you can combine your love of the oceans and water with a trip that you’ll never forget! Leo (July 23rd to August 22nd) Next up, Leo- the ferocious lion sign. You are naturally orientated and eager to make things happen. You’re a natural born leader, and you’ve probably been planning all the family holidays and group trips for as long as you can remember.  Your lion sign means that you were born to shine, and you want attention and respect from all those around you. There’s probably no holiday or destination that phases you and you’ve probably never shied away from booking an unusual holiday or engaged in a wild activity. But this year, 2025 has something a little unique in store for you. This year, Madame Doyle believes that you will be pushed to undergo a personal transformation, and the overall outlook seems like this year will bring a range of opportunities and challenges- navigating career and finances, you might also have some personal hurdles ahead. At Travel Times, we think the fearless lion deserves an intrepid holiday- and that’s why we’re recommending that you head off on your own or with a loved one to South Africa! In this amazing country full of culture and events, you can participate on a safari and embrace the true inner lion within by connecting with nature and your natural instincts. Gemini (May 21st- June 20th) Finally, we’re taking a look at Geminis (May 21 – June 20), your celestial twins represent how you are many things to many people, both perceptive, analytical, and often very funny. Have you ever been so busy that you wished you could clone yourself just to get everything done? Well, says Madame Doyle, that’s your experience in a nutshell. You’re symbolized by the celestial twins, and as an air sign you’re interested in so many pursuits that it doubled to represent your intrinsic duality. Over the last year, you have undergone significant growth, in your professional and personal life. Not all of it has been bad, but the challenges you’ve overcome have made you the person you are today.   As an air sign, Travel Times believes you should be reaping the rewards of your personal journey, taking time to relax and retrospect on all that has happened in the past twelve months. This will allow you to go into your new year stronger, having taken stock of the missteps you might have made along the way. The best destinations for you this year are places that are sunny- with good food and wine and no other distractions that will make you take anything else on your plate. That’s why we’re recommending Lake Como, in Italy- a place for you to chill out and rejuvenate. Want more?

  • The 5 Places We're Sleeping in 2025

    New Year, New You… But Make Sure You Rest First! Ah, the New Year! It’s that magical time when we all eagerly bid adieu to the trials and tribulations of the previous year, resolve to be better versions of ourselves, and get ready to tackle life head-on. But hold on a second— are you still tired? I am. 2024 went by in a blur- I blinked in Ireland’s cold summer, and suddenly it was December. Last year was a rollercoaster of work deadlines, personal milestones, and the never-ending search for “balance” (spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist). And, oh yeah, there was the global news cycle, which didn’t exactly contribute to our sense of well-being. So, ye s, we’re all tired. It’s almost as if we’ve all been running a marathon with a finish line that keeps moving farther away. And now that we’re standing at the threshold of 2025, it’s time to hit the reset button—not by hustling harder, but by giving ourselves permission to rest. Trust us, that’s how real magic happens. So that’s why I’ve decided one of my holiday goals this year isn’t big adventures- it’s resting, it’s sleeping. It’s finding places where you can enjoy the experience of an old or new destination during the day, or literally just spend the day in bed with a beautiful view- just knowing that you’re taken care of with food and drink. I haven’t found a hotel ‘tuck-in’ service yet, but it’s on my list. So here’s where I’m sleeping in 2025. 1. On a Travelmarvel River Cruise along the Duoro The first place I’m planning to cuddle up is on a bed on the Travelmarvel river cruise along the Douro. Can you imagine the sound of water passing you by as you drift through Portugal’s amazing wine valley? Travelmarvel’s new river ship, the MS Estrela, recently launched in 2024 and it’s got everything you need with onboard water stations, tea and coffee, soft drinks, beer & local wine during lunch and dinner are included, along with transfers, tipping and the services of your Travelmarvel Cruise Director and local guides. You can explore amazing Portuguese fanfare after a lovely lie in. After a winery lunch, you can crawl back into bed and in the evening meander down to the restaurant to taste the delicious range of Portuguese, Mediterranean and international flavours on offer. You can even dine alfresco in the main lounge’s deck. To be warm, wined, and dined again would just be beautiful! 2. The Dominick New York City Would you travel all the way to the Big Apple just to sleep? Honestly, at this rate, I think I would. The Dominick offers sweeping views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, it’s got a seasonal outdoor pool, restaurants and bar, rooms all feature floor-to-ceiling windows and some of the best views in Manhattan. The Dominick is the only independent hotel in New York with the exclusive Five Diamond accolade from AAA. I don’t know about you, but I love sleeping with the feeling of things happening around me- that are not my problem. To me, it reminds me of being a kid- having to go to bed while all the adults laugh in the next room. There’s that feeling of safety, of non-responsibility and pure peace. The Dominick is a luxurious hotel, with it’s design centered around local art and modernity, providing a solace from the hustle and bustle outside. The hotel location sits on the border of West Village and TriBeCa, where you can enjoy amazing restaurants and buzzy restaurant life after you day in bed, resting in the shadow of glistening skyscraper lights. 3. In a Luxury Chalet in Zermatt, Switzerland Oh yes, the best time to sleep is when outside it’s cold but inside, it’s cozy. That’s why I’m planning this trip later this year. It has to be freezing, and there has to be a fire burning. I’m not a big skier- but obviously that’s on offer! You’ll find me at apres-ski afterwards! At Zermatt Ski Chalets, their team of experts have chosen the very best chalets and apartments in the most convenient locations, with easy access and stunning views, offering a unique service from their hand-picked, highly experienced, team of hospitality professionals. Their staff include internationally acclaimed chefs, chalet managers, house-keepers, massage therapists and guides who are on hand to make your Zermatt experience a memorable one. Can you imagine waking up to those mountainous views? Dad’s taken the kids to a fun ski lesson, there’s a coffee-machine to make a fresh roast, and it’s just… quiet . And it’s only the kind of quiet you can get when there’s a fresh, untouched snow. You’re wearing your comfiest pajamas and your reading that book you have meant to read since 2019- count me in! 4. On the Royal Scotsman Train between Edinburgh and the Scottish Highlands The Scotsman train is a different type of transport than the slow-moving river cruise from Travelmarvel. This is going to be another type of sleep. Can you imagine feeling the train rumbling beneath you and the rolling hills of the Scottish highlands sending you off to sweet dreams? I’m a sucker for sleeping on the train- head down on the table in front of me, waking up covered in drool to the weary eyes of passengers who have been listening to you snoring for an hour. This is going to be a way different experience. The first thing is, their furniture was designed to reflect on nature’s bounty and the rugged landscapes of ancient Caledonia. Secondly, you’re alone (or with your partner)- because it would be weird to have a stranger sharing that bed with you. Thirdly, these trains offer a gourmet experience! “Cooking onboard is a treat — most kitchens are closed off to nature, but we enjoy incredible views”, says Mark Tamburrini, Executive Head Chef of the Royal Scotsman. An ode to authentic flavours and seafood, his haute cuisine is a medley of seasonal delicacies sourced fresh from the finest local suppliers, with a contemporary twist. Flavoursome Scottish food is served day and night, delighting every single guest while the train slowly travels at a leisurely pace. Yes, yes, YES! 5. The Santhiya, Thailand Since we’ve had river cruises and trains, the cold, quiet climate of Switzerland and the busy atmosphere of New York City- you can always have a nice sleep in the sun, too! And also, it’ll be hard to find an article where I don’t make up an excuse to go back to Thailand…. This amazing luxury Thai resort is located on Koh Phangan (does that sound familiar to fellow past backpackers? It’s the location of the Full Moon Party). But alas, I’m not in my twenties anymore and all-night raves on beaches do little to tempt me back to any location. But THIS… this will do. Stretched over 18 acres of glorious tropical landscapes, Santhiya Koh Phangan Resort & Spa is an eco-chic natural hideaway with glorious teakwood accommodation and world-renowned service and hospitality. Lush tropical forests, crystal clear bay and private beach set the perfect backdrop for splendid gourmet meals, cascading poolside waterfalls, luxurious spa treatment at Ayurvana Spa or an exciting array of outdoor water activities (you go, I’ll sleep). Only 30 minutes by speedboat from Samui Island, paradise awaits…where beauty comes naturally and elegant designs along with eco-friendly conservation inspires all. Imagine sleeping here, your breakfast is brought to you and you can stay on your balcony all day, being warm and so, so happy! Interested in seeing more of these articles?

  • 2025 Horoscope Part Two

    Here it is- the long awaited part Two of our 2025 Horoscopes where we’re looking at Cancer, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Libra, Aquarius and Virgo! 1. Cancer (June 22nd to July 22nd) First up we have Cancer, the zodiac’s cuddly, intuitive, and fiercely loyal crab! You’re the friend who remembers everyone’s birthday, offers a listening ear, and gives hugs that feel like home. You’re a sensitive soul with a heart of gold, always guided by your emotions and that uncanny sixth sense. If you need a shoulder to lean on or a warm bowl of soup, Cancer’s your go-to! In 2025, get ready for a year of growth and emotional exploration. Love is on the horizon, with deep connections and some sweet, unexpected sparks. 2025 is a year to embrace your inner softness, trust your instincts, and dive deep into life’s beautiful (and sometimes bumpy) journey! So, where should you go on holidays based on all that? Well, Travel Times is recommending that you go somewhere busy, where you can meet new people and gain new experiences and more positive energy for the year ahead. We think that Berlin would be a fantastic place to go- in this creative capital, you’ll find new and exciting people around every corner- whether that’s in art galleries or on the dance floor! 2. Scorpio (October 23rd – November 21st) Next up we have Scorpio — the zodiac’s magnetic, mysterious, and fiercely intense water sign! You’re the one who keeps things real, always reading between the lines and uncovering secrets like a detective in a noir film. With your passion and determination, you dive deep into everything you do, whether it’s love, work, or finding the truth. In 2025, you’re due a year of transformation, where you’re going to feel like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Change is on the horizon, and while it may come with a few bumps along the way, it’s all about letting go of the old to make room for something better. Whether it’s a new career opportunity or a personal reinvention, you’re shedding your old skin and embracing a fresh chapter! 2025 is your year to rise, transform, and embrace all the mystery and magic that comes your way. That’s why Travel Time is recommending that you travel to Egypt or Morocco where you can uncover ancient secrets, mysticism, and have opportunities for a major personal awakening! 3. Sagittarius (November 22nd to December 21st) Next up- Sagittarius, the zodiac’s adventurous, free-spirited archer! You’re the one who’s always chasing after the next big thing, whether it’s a new travel destination, philosophical idea, or spontaneous adventure. You’ve got a big heart, a great sense of humor, and a love for life’s wild ride. People often say you’re the optimist of the zodiac, and it’s true — you see the glass as half full, and when life gives you lemons, you turn them into a margarita. In 2025, get ready for a year that’s as exciting and unpredictable as you are! Expect a mix of exploration, personal growth, and some very unexpected detours. You might find yourself embracing new passions, whether it’s a hobby, career shift, or an entirely new perspective on life. 2025 is your year to shoot for the stars and chase your wildest dreams, Sagittarius! Based on this, Travel Times recommends that you get your big backpack out of the attic and start off on an amazing once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Peru is a place for a vibrant adventure, where ancient ruins meet lush jungles and the spirit of the Andes ignites your soul! Here, you’ll satisfy your love for both adventure and cultural discovery. 4. Libra (September 23 – October 22nd) Libra’s are up next — the zodiac’s charming, diplomatic, and beauty-loving air sign! You’re the social butterfly who knows how to balance any situation with grace and finesse, always striving to keep the peace and spread good vibes. Whether you’re arranging the perfect dinner party or giving sage advice to friends, you’re all about creating harmony and making the world a prettier place. In 2025, get ready for a year that puts your people skills to the test! You’ll be navigating both relationships and career moves with your signature charm, but don’t be surprised if a few tough decisions pop up. It’s all about finding your balance, Libra. You’ll be juggling personal growth, love, and work while keeping that smile on your face — but don’t forget to take time for yourself too! Self-care is important, especially when you’re playing the role of peacekeeper. That’s why, in 2025- Travel Times recommends you travel to Budapest in Hungary, where you can balance your love for the arts, cuisine and new cultures while also taking time to relax in one of the many outdoor spas. Budapest is a beautiful city and we highly, highly recommend a trip this year! 5.Aquarius (January 20th to February 18th) Aquarius, the zodiac’s eccentric, innovative, and free-thinking water-bearer! You’re the trendsetter, always ahead of the curve with your wild ideas and big-picture dreams. You love to march to the beat of your own drum, and while you’re super friendly, you can’t stand being boxed in. Independent, quirky, and deeply intellectual, you’re the person everyone turns to when they need a fresh perspective — or a new app recommendation. In 2025, get ready for some major breakthroughs: the universe is giving you a cosmic boost to make your big ideas a reality. Whether it’s launching a new project, starting a revolutionary career path, or diving into a mind-expanding hobby, it’s your time to innovate. Expect to connect with like-minded souls who share your vision — and together, you’ll create something totally out of the ordinary. For you, Travel Times is recommending travelling somewhere gorgeous that blends futuristic technology with natural beauty. In Singapore, you’ll find a range of inspiring buildings, new ideas and fantastic people, alongside their stunning blend of futuristic gardens, vibrant rainforests, and pristine waterfronts that will leave you in awe! 6. Virgo (August 23rd – September 22nd) Finally, Virgo: the zodiac’s perfectionist, practical, and detail-oriented earth sign! You’re the one who makes sure everything is just right — whether it’s organizing your sock drawer or planning the perfect vacation (that’s color-coded, of course). You’ve got an analytical mind, a heart full of care, and a knack for solving problems that others didn’t even know existed. While you might not always show it, your loyalty and thoughtfulness run deep. In 2025, get ready for a year of growth and self-discovery! You’re going to find yourself rethinking what “perfection” really means. While you’ve been known to hold high standards, this year you might realize that embracing imperfection can bring you more peace. You’ll dive into personal projects and work with laser focus, but don’t forget to take breaks and celebrate small wins along the way. At Travel Times, we want you to embrace both your need for order and spontaneity with a trip to the Scottish Highlands. The breathtaking landscapes will leave you in awe and there are plenty of opportunities for quiet reflection and mindful exploration. So there you have it! What destination are you heading to next based on your star sign? Make sure to subscribe to see more content like this, coming your way very soon!
