Our Spring 2026 Best of Touring Brochure Is Here

If you love the idea of a guided touring holiday, where the planning is done for you, the destinations are hand-picked, and every day brings something new, you’re going to want to get your hands on our latest edition of Best of Touring.

Our Spring 2026 brochure is out now, and it’s our biggest and most exciting yet. Here’s a taste of what’s inside.

Touring Holidays: More Popular Than Ever

We kick things off in this edition by taking a look at how touring has changed. What was once seen as the territory of intrepid explorers has become one of the most popular and accessible ways to travel, with options for every age, interest and fitness level.

From leisurely European river routes to wildlife safaris, immersive cultural journeys to off-the-beaten-track adventures, the touring industry has grown to reflect the enormous variety of travellers it now serves. And as we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, the trends shaping the market are fascinating – personalisation, sustainability, and a shift towards more authentic, locally-led experiences are all taking centre stage.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a touring holiday is right for you, this feature alone is worth a read.

What’s Inside?

The brochure is divided into clearly-defined sections, making it easy to find the type of trip that suits you best. Here’s a summary of what you’ll find:

Grand Tours: For those who want to cover serious ground, our Grand Tours take in multiple destinations across a single itinerary. Think sweeping, bucket-list journeys that leave no stone unturned.

Family Holidays: Touring holidays make brilliant family trips. This section explores how to celebrate milestone birthdays, keep multiple generations happy, and create memories that last far longer than a single celebration night.

Tour & Extend: With Newmarket Holidays’ Tour Plus Collection, you can combine an expertly guided tour with a beach stay, city break, exploration extension or cruise. Over 50 options are available, giving you even more flexibility.

Closer to Home: Big adventures don’t always mean long-haul flights. This section highlights some wonderful touring options nearer to home, including some genuinely surprising destinations across Europe.

Asia: Our Spring spotlight is firmly on Asia, and it’s spectacular. From the temples of Southeast Asia and the vibrant streets of Bangkok, to the cultural richness of Japan, the wonders of India and the landscapes of Sri Lanka, this is a region that rewards every type of traveller. Our Asia Travel Guide within this section is a brilliant starting point if you’re considering a first trip to this remarkable part of the world.

Our Beautiful World: A celebration of some of the most breath-taking destinations on the planet, including a fascinating look at off-the-beaten-track touring and why more travellers are choosing to step slightly aside from the well-trodden path.

Solo Travellers: Travelling alone doesn’t mean travelling on your own. This section features tours built specifically for solo travellers, including exclusive itineraries in partnership with Just You and Travelsphere covering South Africa, Canada, India and Australia – all departing in 2027.

Rail Journeys: There’s something magical about seeing the world by train, and this section has some truly special rail adventures on offer.

Unique Experiences: From screen to scene. If you’ve ever wanted to visit the real locations behind your favourite films and TV shows, the rise of “set jetting” is the trend for you. This feature explores how a love of cinema and TV is inspiring a whole new wave of travel choices.

Best Sellers: Our tried-and-tested favourites, hand-picked based on what our customers love most.
