2025 holidays

To us, every holiday is a chance to share our favourite places with our favourite people (and that's a growing list we're hoping you might join in 2025).

We're not usually one to brag, but this year we've really have outdone ourselves. With even more on offer than ever before - from longer Grand Tours to new destinations and tantalising updates - the perfect holiday is waiting for you. 

Whether you choose a river cruise in 2025 or an escorted tour (why not both?!), your time away will be the perfect blend of exploration and relaxation. Designed by our crack team of travel experts, your holiday will include sightseeing with knowledgeable guides, iconic cities steeped in history and off-the-beaten-track treasures known only to the locals. And with travel, accommodations, taxes, excursions and more taken care of for you - and a dedicated Tour Manager with you every step of the way - you're free to just kick back and relax.
