TORONTO — RIT Vacations is celebrating 25 years in business with the launch of seven new tours to the UK for 2026, expanding its portfolio across 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 expanding its UK product line under St. Louis’s direction, RIT has steadily added more off-the-beaten-path experiences to its programs. The company says it continues to see strong demand for itineraries that combine history, culture and local flavour.
“Britain truly has something to captivate every traveller,” adds 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. With RIT Vacations’ seven new itineraries for 2026, travellers can now explore the diverse regions and experiences of England, Scotland, and Wales. Whether it’s exploring the rugged beauty of the Isle of Skye, soaking in the charm of historic market towns, or traveling by train between iconic cities, these expertly curated tours make discovering Britain easier, richer, and more unforgettable than ever.”
To mark the milestone, RIT is offering early booking bonuses of up to $300 per couple on select new tours when booked by Dec. 31, 2025.
