New featured holidays

New featured holidays can be single or multi-centre holidays with a particular feature around which the holiday is based. This might be a special interest, such as cookery, or a special occasion, such as a music festival or a particular train journey, such as the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

New touring holidays

New touring holidays are a popular and regular addition to our programme of luxury holidays. The touring holidays can be in any country and by a variety of transport types including self-drive, fly-drive and by train.

New special interest holidays

Special interest holidays revolve around an obvious theme be it gardens, cookery, music festivals, scenic trains, special events, sports and cultural interests. So if we add a new painting holiday, it will be one of these, or if we add new walking holidays, or new food and wine-tasting breaks.
