Amazing holidays, outstanding value

We aim to take you far beyond your expectations of what travel can offer.

There’s nothing ordinary about this philosophy. And nothing ordinary in the way we bring it to life. We examine every element of a journey and ask ourselves ‘how can we make this better?’

With Distant Journeys, you can discover the best of your chosen destination in comfort and style, with so much taken care of. From hand-picked hotels and expertly crafted itineraries to thoughtful touches that make all the difference, we take care of all of the finer details so you can experience more – at exceptional value.

Our price promise to you

Our philosophy is simple – the earlier you book the better the offer you will receive.

You can relax knowing your holiday won’t be offered at a lower price than you’ve paid – and if it ever is, we’ll refund the difference.

We never hit you with extra price increases. Irrespective of currency fluctuations, airfare or other costs associated with your holiday, no surcharges will be added once you’ve confirmed your booking.

We want you to have the peace of mind when booking a Distant Journeys holiday that you are receiving the best possible price. So, if you see the same holiday cheaper, not only will we match that price, we will also give you £200 off the price of a future holiday with Distant Journeys.
