Holidays in Summer

Embark on unforgettable journeys, whether on European river cruises through iconic destinations like the Rhine, Douro Valley, Seine, and Danube while the sun shines on the surrounding landscapes. Or perhaps you'll choose to explore exotic locales like Southeast Asia's Mekong river or Egypt's Nile. Our river cruises are designed to immerse you in your destination's rich history and culture - all while indulging in wine tasting, castle-spotting, and exploring UNESCO-listed sites along picturesque waterways. From mingling with fellow travellers on deck to discovering hidden treasures ashore, each summer voyage offers a unique blend of relaxation and adventure.

As the mercury rises, take advantage of the good weather and long summer days. There's no better time for a city break than when the cafes and restaurants spill out onto the pavement. When parks, in full bloom, become the place to be for locals and visitors to enjoy al fresco dining and picnics. And cities are abuzz with vibrant festivals and outdoor concerts.  

Or perhaps you're looking to leave the busy cities for the country? Our lake and mountains holidays offer some of the most gorgeous scenery on the planet, tasty authentic local cuisine and iconic sights, like elegant towns surrounding the Italian Lakes.

Outside of Europe, Canada's natural beauty shines in the summer months, from the snow-capped Rocky Mountains to the rocky coastline of the eastern coast. As does Japan, where you can see the architectural highlights of a culture that's thousands of years old shining in the sunshine.

And, while it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the Southern Hemisphere is enjoying winter. Unlike the bleak English winter, the weather in Africa is much more pleasant, making it the ideal time for wildlife safaris and outdoor exploration. Our Grand Tour of Kenya and our tour of South Africa will help you make the most of the milder temperatures.

These are just a few of the tempting experiences on offer - go ahead and find your perfect summer holiday.
