Our History
For over 40 years, Spice Escapes has been bringing people together to explore the world, experience new adventures and create friendships that last long after the holiday ends.
With decades of experience in organising group travel, we have built a reputation for creating memorable holidays to destinations across the globe. From relaxing escapes and cultural city breaks to adventure holidays, cruises, skiing and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, our focus has always been on making group travel enjoyable, welcoming and hassle-free.
Spice Escapes was founded on the belief that you should never have to wait for someone else to travel. Our holidays are designed with the solo traveller in mind, while also welcoming couples and friends who want to enjoy the benefits of travelling as part of a group.
Over the years, we have taken thousands of travellers on adventures around the world. While destinations and travel trends have changed, our core values have remained the same: great holidays, good company and the freedom to enjoy travel your way.
Every Spice Escapes holiday is hosted, giving travellers the reassurance of having someone there to help make the experience run smoothly, while also creating opportunities to meet like-minded people and make new friends. You can enjoy the camaraderie and shared experiences of group travel, while still having the freedom to explore independently whenever you wish.
Today, after more than four decades of arranging group holidays, Spice Escapes continues to do what it has always done best: bringing people together through travel and creating unforgettable experiences around the world.
Spice Escapes: discover more, share more, travel more!
At Spice Escapes, we believe that travel is about far more than simply visiting new places. It is about the experiences you share, the people you meet and the memories you create along the way.
For more than 40 years, our ethos has been built around bringing people together through travel. We believe that holidays are even more rewarding when they are shared with like-minded people, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple or with friends.
Our group holidays are designed to offer the perfect balance of companionship and freedom. Travelling as part of a group means there is always the opportunity to meet new people, share experiences and enjoy the reassurance of travelling with others. At the same time, we understand that everyone enjoys their holiday differently, which is why our trips also allow you the freedom to spend your time your way.
We are passionate about creating holidays where people feel welcome, comfortable and included from the moment they join us. For many of our travellers, the friendships made on a Spice Escapes holiday become just as important as the destination itself.
Our decades of experience have taught us that the best holidays are built around great organisation, carefully chosen destinations and, most importantly, great company. We take pride in creating experiences that are enjoyable, relaxed and memorable, with the reassurance of a hosted group travel experience.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple belief: travel is better when shared.
Whether you are joining us for your first Spice Escapes holiday or have been travelling with us for many years, our aim remains the same — to help you discover incredible places, meet wonderful people and create memories that last a lifetime.
What matters to us
Making Everyone Feel Welcome
We want you to feel comfortable and included from the moment you join us. Many friendships have started on a Spice Escapes holiday, and we love seeing people return time and time again.
Sharing the Experience
Travel is wonderful, but sharing it with others can make it even better. Our holidays give you the chance to meet people, share experiences and make memories together.
Freedom to Be Yourself
Being part of a group does not mean you have to do everything together. Join in as much or as little as you like and enjoy your holiday in your own way.
Creating Wonderful Memories
From the big adventures to the little moments in between, we want you to return home with stories to tell and memories to treasure.
Travelled with Experience
With over 40 years of experience in group travel, we know how to create holidays that are well organised, enjoyable and full of opportunities to experience something special.
A Love of Travel
Quite simply, we love travel — and we love sharing that passion with our customers.
Spice Escapes — great places, great experiences and great company.
