Calling all curious travellers! Ever wondered how it feels to gaze up at the ​stars in the otherworldly Wadi Rum desert? Or what it’s like gliding through ​the scenic Rhine Valley past dramatic gorges and catching sight of your first ​castle ruins? Perhaps witnessing the gleaming Taj Mahal bathed in the glow ​of sunrise is something you’ve always wished to do?

The world is vast with countless wonders to explore, and we’d love it if you would ​join us on one of our award-winning holidays. Discover it all with our 2026 river ​cruises and worldwide tours, now available to book.

Few experiences are as thrilling as jetting off on an adventure abroad with like-​minded travellers, and we make worldwide travel oh so easy. Our carefully ​crafted itineraries, designed in collaboration with local experts from each ​destination, offer the perfect mix of discovery and relaxation.

Imagine uncovering the secrets of Angkor Wat’s stunning temples like a group of ​modern-day Indiana Joneses, or having a nosy around Graceland, Elvis Presley’s ​gorgeous mansion, to immerse yourselves in “the King’s” life and legacy.

Throughout your holiday with us, your experienced and meticulous tour ​manager will ensure every little detail is taken care of, so all you have to do is ​relax and enjoy the trip. Our hotels are handpicked for their convenient location ​and unique charm. Ever wanted to wake up to a chorus of birdsong in a ​charming eco-lodge deep in the lush Costa Rican rainforest?

Now you can do all this and more with our worldwide tour collection. What’s ​more, our 2026 itineraries are now frozen at 2025 prices until 16 December ​2024. Plus, we have reduced our group sizes to just 36 guests on our classic ​tours, so you will benefit from a more intimate experience.

Perhaps the most relaxing way to travel, you’ll unpack just once on our river ​cruises and enjoy life on board as our five-star ‘floating hotels’ take you on a ​scenic journey to multiple destinations, where engaging excursions await. Will it ​be one of Europe’s iconic rivers, the legendary Nile or the mighty Mekong?

Take in uninterrupted riverside views aboard a luxurious ship, as your attentive ​crew top up your tipple and your cruise director ensures everything goes ​smoothly for the next eye-opening excursion.

Let knowledgeable guides help you get under the skin of the places you visit with ​local insights. Ever fancied the idea of a foodie cruise along the Seine sampling ​the many delicious delights of Normandy? Or ever wondered how some of ​Mozart’s most famous piano pieces sound in a 17th-century palace? Well, you ​can experience all this and more on our superb river cruises.

Our 2026 departures are now available to book. 2026 promises to be exciting as ​we will have a new ship, MS Riviera Resplendence, setting sail on the Rhine. Plus, ​we have new themed river cruise itineraries exploring subjects such as ​gastronomy and gardens in greater depth.

For 2026, sit back and relax with all-inclusive drinks on all our European river ​cruises. Enjoy all the drinks included in the Superior drinks package, but now ​they’re available from 10am until midnight. Drink as much or as little as you like, ​all day long!

As always, enjoy unbeatable value with handpicked accommodation, full-board ​dining on our European river cruises, flights from your local airport at no extra ​cost, transfers, the services of a wonderful Riviera cruise director or tour ​manager, and all visits and excursions with knowledgeable local guides.

There’s also more to enjoy as a group, as 1 in every 8 guests goes free when ​you book a 2025 or 2026 river cruise of at least 7 nights, as a group of 8 or more. ​You could use the saving for a cabin upgrade, or as pocket money while ​exploring.

You will also still receive 10% back for your Rotary after travel. Best of all, this ​offer applies to all our tours, whatever the destination, as well as our yacht and ​ocean cruises.
