Our Story Newmarket Holidays is a British multiaward winning, independently owned tour operator, providing a portfolio of escorted trips, resort-centred stays, and event-focused tours throughout the world. Founded in 1983 Newmarket Holidays has steadily grown and expanded to become one of the UK’s leading and most respected travel companies. Value for money and high standards of customer care are integral to our operations, and this is reflected in the meticulously designed details of each tour, encompassing everything from accommodation to on-the-ground experiences. We operate a vast selection of escorted, air-inclusive tours within the UK, Europe, the Americas, India and Southeast Asia. But where and how did it all begin?

On a Bank Holiday Weekend in May 1983 Newmarket Holidays began its tour-operating life, when a group of excited travellers journeyed by coach and crossChannel ferry to Paris, to discover and explore the sights and sounds of the French capital. Breaks to London, Amsterdam and the Yorkshire Dales quickly followed, and a year later, longer tours to Austria, Switzerland and France were introduced, as more and more happy customers discovered the Newmarket Holidays blend of great value, excellent standards and destinations brought to life by our team of friendly, professional tour managers.
Newmarket Holidays customers, all enjoying the same mix of quality, value and above all friendly service that have been hallmarks of Newmarket Holidays since our earliest days. Amongst the company’s proudest moments, apart from the daily privilege of being able to share our wonderful world with our customers, have been the garnering of many industry honours, including those voted for by the British public at the prestigious British Travel Awards.
Holidays by air were added in the late 1980s, alongside cruise and river-cruise holidays, as farther-flung corners of Europe were explored. Beautiful Italy, from sun-baked Sicily at its southern foot, to the glorious Neapolitan Riviera, to its historic cities, and to its stunning northern lakes, became a muchloved favourite, as did the breathtaking fjordland of Western Norway.
The Global Pandemic brought operations to a shuddering halt in early 2020, and the last two years, as has been the case for millions across the world, have been the most difficult in Newmarket Holidays’ long history. Happily, however, we have continued to operate tours at home and abroad, where possible, in both 2020 and 2021, and as we look forward with our customers to reconnecting with the world in 2022 and 2023, we do so with renewed optimism and excitement.
As Newmarket Holidays’ reputation grew, so did the number of destinations offered, and the 21st century has seen North and South America, India, Africa and Southeast Asia all play host to tens of thousands of
At the heart of the Newmarket Holidays story have been the millions of customers we have had the pleasure to have served. We thank you for your support and look forward to looking after you again in the very near future.
