Escorted tour operator Newmarket Holidays has added three new tours to expand its range of European group holidays in 2026.
The French & Italian Rivieras is an eight-day itinerary that combines Italy’s Ligurian coast with France’s Côte d’Azur in a package that is claimed to be a first for the UK market.
Clients are based in Italy, where excursions include a walking tour of San Remo and an optional visit to Genoa, with several journeys across the border into France to explore Nice, Cannes, St-Paul-de-Vence, Monte Carlo and Monaco.
Prices start from £1,274 including flights to Nice from a host of airports across the UK.
Hidden Italy – Trieste & Friuli Venezia Giulia, is Newmarket Holidays’ first Premier Collection tour of Italy, featuring “relaxed travel, luxury accommodation and cultural and culinary experiences”.
Highlights include a boat trip across the Gulf of Trieste followed by a walking tour of the city, and a tour of Grozia on the border with Slovenia.
The seven-night package includes a variety of regional flights into Venice and prices start from £1,665.
Adriatic Discovery – Slovenia, Croatia & Italy has been launched as a response to the growing demand for Balkan itineraries,
The one-centre tour of the Adriatic coast offers excursions in three countries, with visits to Ljubljana, Lake Bled and the seaside resort of Portorož in Slovenia, Pula and Rovinj in Croatia, and Italian Trieste.
There are departures from 12 airports across the UK, with prices starting from £1,427.
Hayley Morris, head of trade sales and partnerships at Newmarket Holidays, said: “These three new itineraries offer the combination of popular single-centre stays, local experiences and excellent regional flight options, making them easy for travel agents to sell and perfect for customers seeking something new and hassle-free.”
