Travel is evolving. At Fred. Holidays, we’ve spent the past year analysing what matters most to travellers - and the answer is clear: experiences that go deeper, journeys that feel effortless and adventures that inspire. This publication brings together the insights shaping holidays in 2026 and beyond, from extended stays that allow time to truly connect with a destination, to expeditions that explore warmer waters and uncover remote wonders.

Inside, you’ll find itineraries that reflect these trends - not just holidays, but thoughtfully curated journeys designed to immerse, enrich and surprise. Whether it’s lingering longer in Europe’s cultural capitals, sailing through turquoise seas, or embracing the romance of rail, these pages showcase the future of travel.

So, take a moment. Imagine where time slows down, where discovery feels personal and where every detail is crafted for meaning. That’s what these trends represent - and why they matter. Dive in and see how we’re redefining the art of holidaymaking.
