Holiday Types
However you like to travel, start with the kind of holiday that feels right for you.
Auria Travel is an independent UK travel agency, and these are the types of holiday our travel professionals can help you plan and book. Some are about switching off: a beach, an all-inclusive resort or a villa with its own pool. Others are about seeing more, on an ocean or river cruise, a safari or an escorted tour.
These are starting points, not a catalogue. If the right holiday, cruise or tour already exists, we will help you find it and book it. If it does not, we can put together a tailor-made trip around your brief. Choose a type to see what it involves, who it suits and the latest offers.
All holiday types
Adult-Only
A hotel, resort or ship reserved for grown-ups, where pools are quieter, evenings run a little later and everything is designed around relaxing.
All Inclusive
Accommodation, meals, drinks and often a good deal of entertainment wrapped into one price, agreed before you travel.
Beach Holidays
Warm weather, time by the sea and simple pleasures: good food, a swim before lunch and a walk along the shore in the evening.
Family Holidays
Proper time together, away from school runs, work and everyday routine, with space to play, time to rest and experiences you will all talk about afterwards.
Honeymoons and Weddings
The trip you will always remember, whether that means a quiet island and a room over the water, a city, a safari or a journey through several countries.
Long Haul
Somewhere that feels genuinely different: another climate, another culture, landscapes and food you will not find closer to home.
Luxury Holidays
More than a five-star rating: space and privacy, attentive service, excellent food and a journey that runs smoothly from the moment you leave home.
Multi-Centre Holidays
Two or more places joined into one journey, such as a city and a beach or a safari and the coast, with time to enjoy each of them.
Ocean Cruising
One holiday, several countries, islands or cities, with your cabin, your meals and your entertainment travelling with you.
Package Holidays
Flights and a place to stay booked together, often with transfers, from a week in the sun to a city break, a family holiday or an all-inclusive stay.
River Cruising
Sail through the heart of a region, past vineyards, castles and villages, and step ashore in the middle of historic towns and cities.
Safari
A holiday shaped by wildlife and landscape, heading out with a guide in the cool of the early morning and again as the light softens.
Short Haul
The easy escapes: a few hours on a plane and you are somewhere warm, beautiful or simply different.
Ski and Winter Sports
Active days in the mountain air and spectacular scenery: mornings on the slopes, a long lunch on a sunny terrace and an evening by the fire.
Solo Holidays
A holiday that is entirely yours: where to go, what to see and when to do nothing at all, without fitting around anyone else’s plans.
Tailor-made holidays
A holiday put together around your brief, from the flights and places to stay to the transfers and experiences, when nothing ready-made quite fits.
Touring and Escorted
See far more of a country than you could from a single base, with the route, the hotels and the transport planned for you.
UK and Ireland
Extraordinary variety close to home: dramatic coastlines, mountains and lakes, historic cities and villages that look much as they did centuries ago.
Villa Holidays
A place of your own: a private pool, a terrace for long lunches and the freedom to do everything in your own time.
Not sure which holiday is right for you?
You do not need to have found the holiday first. Tell us who is travelling, what you enjoy and roughly when you would like to go, and our travel professionals can help you narrow down the options, combine more than one kind of holiday in a single trip, or put together something that is not on this page at all.
