The promotion covers a wide selection of escorted journeys across Ireland, Britain, Iceland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, along with eligible Custom Private Driver vacations.

The promotion arrives as demand continues to grow for guided European experiences that combine cultural discovery, local experiences, comfortable transportation and organised itineraries. With the cost of international travel remaining a key consideration for holidaymakers, airfare savings provide an important advantage for couples and companions planning overseas journeys.

New Spain and Portugal Journey Brings Two European Cultures Together

One of the highlights of the promotion is a newly introduced Northern Spain & Portugal itinerary, marking a significant expansion of CIE Tours’ European portfolio.
