Caledonian Leisure, trading as Caledonian Travel, has revealed it will be launching a programme of coach and self-drive holidays for 2021, having secured a multi-million pound investment.
The new holiday company will be offering short breaks and holidays throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe. It was launched by the former management team at National Holidays and Caledonian Travel after the collapse of parent company Specialist Leisure Group last year.
From seaside getaways and city breaks to family attractions and sporting events, Caledonian will offer a variety of coach breaks while UKBreakaways.com, the other trading brand under the new investment, says it will allow customers to enjoy the freedom to make their own way by car or train.
There are a range of group benefits on offer including free places for larger groups, group organiser discounted tickets and customisable itineraries.
Caledonian uses an independent Trust Account so that when customers pay for their holiday, the money isn’t released to the company until you return home. If for some reason the break doesn’t go ahead and you don’t want to accept any alternatives, the money is refunded to you (terms and conditions apply).
