At JourneyWoman, we want to help you save time and start travelling! Every two weeks, we'll curate the best travel deals for hotels, tours and day trips to help you plan your travels.
The companies featured in JourneyWoman’s Women’s Travel Directory are vetted by JourneyWoman to ensure that they operate with the highest standards. TourRadar also performs its own verification and onboarding process for all operators on its platform, adding an additional layer of security and professionalism. While we host our Women’s Travel Directory as a free service to women travellers, we do not operate or book tours. One of the unique features of this site is that you can HOLD a trip at the price you see it today without paying for it right away. This gives you time to review the details and make your decision. Through TourRadar, you can book directly with the operators and get the same pricing as on their site.
Deals of the Week: Save on Trips on the Water
Water has a way of slowing you down. Whether you're watching the sun drop behind a Greek island, drifting along the Mekong, or finally getting in the ocean after months of planning the trip, there's something about being near the water that changes the pace of a day. From Caribbean cayes and Andaman Sea catamarans to Nile river cruises and the canals of the Danube, these itineraries take you to some of the world's most remarkable waterways and islands.
Women on the Water
Rivers, reefs, or the open ocean: find the water trip that's calling your name. Book now with exclusive deals on women-only tours and small-group adventures.

We host our Women’s Travel Directory as a free service to women travellers. JourneyWoman does not operate or book tours. One of the major reasons we are partnering with Tour Radar is to protect you, the consumer. Far too often, we see women who wire cash or money to a tour operator to book a trip; there is no guarantee that it will arrive or that you will be refunded if the tour is cancelled. While there are some consumer protection agencies, like the TICO (Travel Industry Council of Ontario), your purchases are not protected when payment is made in cash. Read more about how TourRadar operates here.
Did you know: Some of the links included in this email are affiliate links. When you purchase a product using these links, JourneyWoman receives a small commission from the seller at no extra cost to you! This is one of the ways you can help us maintain our beautiful website and editorial content. Thank you!
