New Holidays

With over 40 years of experience delivering wish-list escorted tours, we know what it takes to turn your travel dreams into a reality, and this year is no exception. With the launch of our brand-new 2026-28 brochure, we’re looking forward to a whole host of wish-list experiences across the globe.

For the first time ever, we’re introducing Australia to our escorted touring collection with a debut getaway exploring the cosmopolitan centres of the South Coast, the Red Centre and the world-famous Great Barrier Reef. If you’re after a little more, you can combine our Australia and New Zealand itineraries for a true taste of glorious Oceania.

Rail travel continues to inspire our team and, with two brand-new Premier Collection escapes, we’re looking forward to more unique experiences by rail. A trip to idyllic Lake Maggiore offers the best of Italy’s High Alps with excursions to Zermatt, the Simplon Pass and a ride onboard the Centovalli Railway. If you’d prefer a getaway further afield, step back into the golden age of rail travel with a heritage stay onboard India’s Deccan Odyssey sleeper train.

Elsewhere in Asia, China makes its long-awaited return to our escorted touring collection with a combined tour and cruise itinerary, taking in ancient imperial palaces, neon-lit cityscapes and the mighty Yangtze River. There are also opportunities to explore more of Japan than ever before on our new journey across its scenic southern islands, Kyushu and Shikoku.

We’ve added another two Indian escapes to our offerings, including a getaway to Varanasi, the holy city on the banks of the sacred Ganges River. Independent travellers can enjoy a tiger safari like no other with our latest Exclusively Solos escape, with stops in wildlife-rich Ranthambore, lakeside Udaipur and the blue city of Jodhpur.

Across the Pacific, South America’s natural wonders take centre stage with our exciting new tour, showcasing the best of Brazil, Argentina and Patagonia’s diverse vistas.

Those in search of a break closer to home can now combine an excursion to lively Seville with a relaxing seven-night stay on Portugal’s beautiful south coast. In southern Italy, cultural immersion awaits with a small-group heritage stay amongst Puglia and Basilicata’s most intriguing countryside towns.

In addition to our latest selection of escorted tours, we’re proud to introduce our Tour Plus initiative, which makes it easier than ever before to tailor your holiday to your liking. Featured on over 40 of our award-winning tours, Tour Plus offers a range of optional pre-stays, extensions and alternative ways of travelling. Whether you’ve always dreamt of experiencing the Canadian wilderness by rail, finishing your safari adventure in idyllic Mauritius or cruising the Caribbean, Tour+ helps make every moment as special as you’d imagined.
