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.
