New year, new…(coach) holiday entitlement…!

Everything starts again in January for three quarters of us in the UK. A fresh year, a fresh start, and most importantly, a fresh allowance of annual leave! But if you haven’t already got your holidays for 2025 booked, now is the time to start planning and make the most of your precious days off.

We all know the feeling: you see that full yearly allocation and think, “I’ve got plenty of days and plenty of time to use all this!” But, before you know it, your work mates have booked their days off, and you can't quite get the dates that you'd like. Then, after a couple of spontaneous trips or a few long weekends, your leave days have dwindled away faster than expected.

That’s why it’s so important to plan ahead, think smart, and make the most of what you’ve got.

And this is where we come in. Booking a coach break with Caledonian Travel isn’t just a cost-efficient way to enjoy your holiday—it’s a clever way to manage your holiday entitlement, ensuring every day off is packed with value, adventure, and relaxation. Let's tell you more...

How does it work?

The first step? Deciding what type of holiday you want. At Caledonian Travel, we cater to all tastes and preferences, so you’re spoilt for choice:

• Fancy soaking up the sun and breathing in the sea air on a seaside break?
• Dreaming of picturesque European vistas on a tour across the continent?
• Want to explore the hustle and bustle of a new city with a short but sweet city break?
• Or maybe you’re looking to mix things up with a coastal getaway featuring live music?

Whatever you choose, one of the plus points of our coach breaks is that you don’t necessarily need to take an entire week off to enjoy a fantastic getaway. For example, why not book a four-day break, starting on a Friday morning and returning on Monday afternoon? This way, you only use a couple of days of annual leave while enjoying an extended weekend full of fun and pleasure.

Our customers love this flexibility. Many of them return year after year, knowing they can stretch their holiday allowance while enjoying some of the best breaks and coach trips of their lives. It’s smart holiday planning at its finest.

Something shorter?

Not everyone has the luxury of taking several days off work, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out. We have a range of day breaks that appeal to many, and our Mystery Weekends are a perfect solution for a quick, planned (and spontaneous) escape.

These two-day breaks require no annual leave if you travel over the weekend. You’ll be whisked away to one of the UK’s most beautiful locations, with destinations like London, The Cotswolds, Whitby, or even the Lake District as possibilities. The excitement lies in the mystery, but one thing is guaranteed: you’ll have a fantastic time exploring somewhere new and making memories to share with colleagues when you’re back at work.

Think about it—two days of relaxation, exploration, and fun, without dipping into your precious holiday entitlement. What’s not to love?

But let’s not stop there…

Do you need to go overseas? Well, for those craving adventure further afield, we’ve got you some fantastic options. In 2025, why not take one of our most talked-about holidays: a seven-day holiday to the beautiful Italian resorts of Lake Garda and Venice?

Picture this: strolling through the charming streets of Venice, soaking in the breathtaking beauty of Lake Garda, and indulging in authentic Italian cuisine. And here’s the best part—you’ll only need to take Monday to Friday off work! That means five days of annual leave gets you a full week of memories and unforgettable experiences.

This is more than a holiday; it’s a chance to take in the most pictureqsue scenery, architecture, and culture in the world—all while being practical about your time off. It’s efficiency and enjoyment rolled into one.
