Holidays to Europe

Whether you’re a travelling expert or a first-time adventurer, we guarantee that you’ll find something new. It may be the world’s second smallest continent, but there’s still so much to uncover.

Europe has so much to offer all travellers, from seasoned experts to first-time voyagers solo, as a couple or in a group. There is so much culture and history to see along the way, and your dedicated expert tour manager will guide you through each destination with all the knowledge you could need.

A perfect way to see what Europe has to offer is by river cruise. Taking an elegant ship to discover fascinating new ports and cities is perfect for experiencing variety in comfort and style. With all meals included, from early-risers breakfasts to midnight snacks, and everything in between, this is truly an unforgettable experience.

If you prefer to stay on land, we have a great selection of escorted tours available, with exclusive departures for solo travellers and our Walk & Discover collection, there is something for everyone to enjoy. With so much to discover why not browse from our collection of escorted tours and river cruises below? If you have any queries, contact us and we will be happy to answer your questions.
