Kensington, renowned for delivering the world’s most personal travel experiences, has announced its sponsorship of Dream of Europe, a new travel series currently premiering on PBS stations, PBS.org and the PBS app.
Hosted by travel expert and TV personality Kathy McCabe, the 7-part travel series takes viewers on an enchanting journey through Europe, showcasing iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and authentic cultural experiences.
In celebration of the launch of the series, Kensington has curated a collection of bespoke itineraries inspired by the destinations featured in Dream of Europe. These journeys reflect Kensington’s expertise in creating private guided custom trips, offering travelers the chance to explore Europe in unparalleled depth and luxury.
McCabe is known for her passion for uncovering the authentic charm of every destination she visits. “I have been enchanted by Europe since I was a child, so much so that I lived and studied in Lake Annecy in the French Alps the summer I turned 19,” says McCabe. “While Italy will always have my heart, filming this series was the perfect excuse to explore other up-and-coming destinations in Europe.”
"This series beautifully captures the diversity and charm that make Europe so alluring," says Matt Cammaert, SVP of Marketing at Kensington. "The approach to connect with locals, sample regional cuisines, and uncover the unique stories of each destination aligns perfectly with Kensington’s philosophy of creating deeply personal and authentic travel experiences. This sponsorship a natural fit, as it allows us to inspire travelers to explore Europe through curated journeys that reflect their individual passions."
Throughout the series, McCabe showcases several European destinations that inspire wanderlust. While these destinations are featured in the series, Kensington offers travelers the opportunity to design their own personalized itineraries to all of these regions. From cultural immersion to luxurious experiences, Kensington ensures each journey is tailored to create unforgettable memories. The featured destinations and itinerary inspiration include:
- The crystal-clear waters of Lake Annecy, France: A serene escape known for its breathtaking alpine views.
- The cultural and culinary treasures of Athens and the Greek Islands: A vibrant blend of history, architecture, and Mediterranean flavors.
- The fascinating blend of history and natural beauty in Malta’s Blue Grotto: A mesmerizing destination highlighted for its vivid azure waters and historic wonders.
The series also features the vibrant landscapes and rich history of Albania, which many consider to be Europe’s next emerging travel hotspot.
In addition, Kensington created its own exclusive video content highlighting the captivating region of Puglia, Italy, which was named as one of the top five trending destinations for 2025 in the inaugural Kensington Travel Trends Report. Known for its sun-drenched landscapes, ancient olive groves, and trulli—the distinctive whitewashed stone huts with conical roofs—this itinerary embodies Kensington’s commitment to immersive travel experiences.
Designed to connect travelers with the heart and soul of Puglia, there is also a new ultra-luxe itinerary that includes bespoke tours of historic towns, private cooking classes, and exclusive wine tastings, showcasing Kensington’s dedication to crafting tailor-made adventures. Travelers can work with a Destination Expert to curate their own itinerary inspired by the suggested experiences featured in the sample journeys. A 30 second trailer offers a sneak preview of the trip with the full segment available here.
