What is a Goway Odyssey vacation package?
A Goway Odyssey is a small group vacation package that takes travelers to some of the most famous wonders of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Odyssey vacation packages include first-class accommodations (think 4-star hotels and lodges), and typically last between 7 to 14 days.
The small group on an Odyssey averages between six and 12 travelers, with the exception of Israel Odyssey, which has a maximum of 20 travelers, and Japan Cherry Blossom Odyssey, which has a maximum of 16. Every Goway Odyssey vacation package is tailor-made to include unique experiences that incorporate new and seasonal focuses, so no two Goway Odyssey vacations are ever quite the same. Goway Odyssey vacation packages are often on sale, so visit our special offers page to find the latest travel deals and seasonal offers.
