Holidays in Autumn

Explore

Not everywhere is as damp and dreary as the UK can be in autumn. If you're looking for a little escape, we've got plenty of options!

You could experience the bounty of the harvest season from the water on our selection of river cruises, from apple orchards in Normandy on our French river cruises to wine in Portugal. And, of course, we'll stop to sample the seasonal delicacies of Italy and Greece on our European tours with farm-to-table dining experiences.

You can marvel at nature's parting performance as the landscapes blaze with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows as trees shed their leaves. These picturesque scenes create the perfect backdrop for nature walks on our walk and discover tours and scenic drives through the folkloric scenery of Germany and the Black Forest. Or further afield, Kyoto's temples, gardens, and mountains are even more lovely in the autumn splendour, making a holiday to Japan the perfect autumn escape. Perhaps you're looking for the perfect blend of excitement and relaxation. Our beach stays in India, Jordan and Sri Lanka offer the best of both worlds: a fascinating tour revealing the destination's highlights (and a few secret local spots) plus a four-night stay on the coast.

Whilst the Northern Hemisphere is sliding towards its winter slumber, the Southern Hemisphere is just waking up. Springtime in Cape Town brings mild temperatures and the opportunity to spot whales from the coast. On our tours of South Africa, you see this cosmopolitan capital, as well as energetic Johannesburg and the rocky coastline. Plus, you'll get to see the local wildlife - including South Africa's big five: African lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants, and Cape buffalo - on a safari in Kruger National Park.  

Whichever adventure you choose, you can rest easy knowing you'll enjoy unbeatable value, including flights from your local airport at no extra cost, accommodation on board luxury ships or in hand-picked hotels in the best locations, transfers, the services of our wonderful Riviera Cruise Director or Tour Manager, all excursions with knowledgeable local guides and more.
