From the Renaissance splendour of Italy to the icy frontiers of Greenland, Europe offers the discerning traveller far more than postcard clichés.
Whether you’re dipping a toe into your first grand tour or dreaming of adventure on the open sea, we’ve curated four luxury European holidays to match your travel style:
For the First Time Visitor: Italy
Experience Italy’s cultural icons on a classic route through Rome, Florence, Venice, Verona and Milan. Discover the Sistine Chapel, the Pantheon and Venice’s Doge’s Palace. Taste your way through Italy with handmade pizza, limoncello and fresh seafood, all set against landscapes of Tuscan hills and vine-covered Alpine foothills.
For the Adventurer: Family Charters
Set sail on a private boat adventure in Croatia, Turkey, or Greece – perfect for families or groups of friends. Cruise to secluded Aegean islands like Kalymnos and Lipsi, explore Croatia’s hidden coves, or anchor near Ephesus and sip Turkish wine at Karnas Vineyards. With flexible itineraries, snorkelling gear, kayaks and a private chef onboard, each day is yours to shape – and it’s surprisingly affordable when shared.
For the Trailblazer: East Greenland
Venture into one of the Arctic’s last uncharted regions aboard the M/S Balto, with just 12 guests onboard. Explore the Ammassalik and Sermilik fjords, access glaciers fed by the Greenland Ice Sheet and discover the spectacular Kulusuk ice cave. Visit the Inuit community of Tasiilaq and the workshop of a tupilak carver, hike through alpine meadows and visit the abandoned World War II base, Bluie East Two.
For the Curious: The Balkans
Uncover the cultural layers of the Balkans. In Kosovo, visit UNESCO-listed mosques, rescued brown bears and remote mountain villages. In Bosnia, explore Mostar’s rebuilt bridge, Sarajevo’s complex past and Karst landscapes. In Serbia, sip ancient wines, ride the scenic Šargan Eight railway and marvel at Stone Age sites and medieval fortresses. From griffon vultures circling the Uvac River to centuries of spiritual heritage, the Balkans reward the culturally curious with a truly layered journey, whilst being incredible value.
Luxury means different things to different people: a well-earned glass of wine in a remote Serbian vineyard, a peaceful night moored beneath Greek stars, or the quiet awe of a glacier-fringed fjord.
Whatever your travel style, our luxury European holidays each have something extraordinary to offer. The real question is: which one will you choose?
