Kensington has partnered with the new PBS series “Dream of Europe” to bring viewers’ wanderlust to life. The 7-part series, hosted by travel expert Kathy McCabe, is currently airing on PBS stations, PBS.org, and the PBS app. Kensington has created a collection of bespoke itineraries to complement the series inspired by the featured locations.
“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,” said McCabe in a press statement. “While Italy will always have my heart, filming this series was the perfect excuse to explore other up-and-coming destinations in Europe.”
Inspired Exploration by Kensington
McCabe’s passion for authentic travel experiences aligns perfectly with Kensington’s approach. The series highlights several European gems, each of which Kensington can transform into personalized adventures for travelers. Key destinations include Lake Annecy in France, with its alpine vistas and potential for Rhone River sailing; Athens and the Greek Islands, offering history, architecture and Mediterranean cuisine; and Malta’s Blue Grotto, known for its vivid blue waters and historical significance.
“This series beautifully captures the diversity and charm that make Europe so alluring,” said Matt Cammaert, SVP of Marketing at Kensington, in a press statement. “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.”
Albania, emerging as Europe’s next travel hotspot, also features prominently in the series. The series showcases its blend of history and natural beauty, making it a great choice for off-the-beaten-path experiences.
Kensington has gone a step further by producing exclusive video content spotlighting Puglia, Italy. Named one of the top five trending destinations for 2025 in Kensington’s inaugural Travel Trends Report, Puglia offers sun-soaked landscapes, ancient olive groves, and the iconic trulli (whitewashed stone huts with conical roofs).
For Puglia, Kensington has developed an ultra-luxe itinerary highlighting its commitment to immersive travel. This journey includes bespoke historic town tours, private cooking classes and exclusive wine tastings. Travel advisors can work with Kensington’s Destination Experts to tailor these experiences to individual client preferences.
