RIT Celebrates 25 Years with Seven New UK Tours for 2026

A ‘highland coo’ in Scotland.

As it celebrates 25 years in 2025, Ireland and UK specialist RIT Vacations has unveiled a lineup of seven new UK tours for the 2026 travel season, each crafted to showcase the  rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cultural heritage of Scotland, England and Wales. 

“Britain is full of surprises, from its historic cities to stunning natural landscapes,” says Darlene St. Louis, UK Product Director at RIT Vacations. “Our new itineraries are designed to go beyond the familiar, offering travellers authentic experiences, hidden gems, and immersive moments that truly bring the UK to life.” 

Since bringing on industry veteran St. Louis, RIT has expanded its offerings to include more off-the-beaten-path destinations, and says they are consistently earning rave reviews from travellers. 

“Britain truly has something to captivate every traveller,” said Ritushri Dhankher, National Travel Trade & Aviation Manager at VisitBritain. “From UNESCO World Heritage cities to cutting-edge museums, remote islands to breathtaking landscapes, the possibilities are endless.”

To celebrate the launch of the new tours, RIT Vacations is offering early booking bonuses of up to $300 per couple on select new tours when booked by December 31. 

RIT is offering new ways to explore the UK in 2026.
