Explore some of Europe’s most beautiful waterside destinations.
Our Fjords and Lakes holidays are all about slowing down, spending quality time together and discovering incredible landscapes along the way. Every location offers something a little different for families wishing to experience the outdoors, from Slovenia's mountain beauty and Montenegro's wild coastline to Norway's spectacular fjords and Finland's peaceful lakes.
Norway offers breathtaking travel experiences across some of the most beautiful scenery in the Nordic region thanks to its tall mountains, deep blue fjords, and weaving coastline pathways. Families may take in Norway's renowned natural beauty while enjoying scenic rail trips, fjord cruises and trips to charming waterfront towns.
While Finland's quiet lake districts are perfect for reconnecting with nature, whether through forest walks, wildlife encounters, or unwinding in a traditional sauna surrounded by wilderness, Slovenia offers a slower pace, with vibrant lakes, alpine forests and charming towns that are ideal for active family adventures.
Dramatic mountains, historic coastal villages, and the Bay of Kotor are all combined in Montenegro for a slightly distinct experience. From visiting national parks and taking boat tours to just spending time by the ocean, these vacations are meant to help families create memories that last forever.

Broaden your Horizon outside of Europe
For families ready to venture further afield, our Beyond Europe collection opens up a world of immersive, long-haul adventures designed to feel both exciting and easy to navigate. These carefully curated trips combine meaningful experiences with well-paced itineraries, ensuring that travelling as a family remains smooth, comfortable and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish.
In Costa Rica, families can discover one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth, where rainforest trails, wildlife-rich reserves and coastal landscapes create a natural playground for all ages. In Borneo, the focus shifts to ancient jungle environments, offering unforgettable opportunities to experience rare wildlife and conservation-led travel in a way that is both educational and inspiring for children and adults alike. Meanwhile, Morocco delivers a vibrant cultural contrast, where bustling souks, desert landscapes and historic cities create a multi-sensory journey that keeps every member of the family engaged.
Each destination has been thoughtfully selected to balance adventure with accessibility, combining guided experiences, comfortable accommodation and seamless logistics. The result is a long-haul family holiday that feels enriching, well-supported and full of shared moments you’ll talk about long after you return home.
