Luxury July holidays

July offers travel treats aplenty – think luxury self-drives in Europe and North America, the iconic wildebeest migration in East Africa and much more. Browse the selection below, all hand-picked by our specialists, then give us a call to get planning.

Summer in Europe

The height of summer is a busy time in Europe, with plenty to enjoy in July. Italy plays host to the Verona Opera Festival and Palio di Siena – the latter requires booking well in advance – and Capri and the Amalfi Coast are resplendent in July. Then, in Scandinavia, Norway's fjords are at their dazzling best. Closer to home, it's one of the best times to explore Scotland on board the Belmond Royal Scotsman.

Majestic North America

Few regions offer such sheer scale and diversity as North America, and this time of year is when its landscapes truly come into their own. And, in a season of epic journeys, none is more iconic than the Rocky Mountaineer, whose glass‑domed carriages glide through some of the continent’s most spectacular scenery, from towering peaks to wild river valleys. It’s also the perfect moment to pair your rail journey with a luxury Alaskan cruise, where vast glaciers, breaching whales and remote frontier towns create a voyage defined by unforgettable wildlife and dramatic natural beauty.
