Profile

At Holiday Vacations, we believe that life is short, and bucket lists are long. Since 1973, we’ve celebrated how true happiness comes from extraordinary encounters: immersing yourself in new cultures, exploring majestic landscapes, and witnessing endless historic sites across the world. Travel enriches our lives in ways we never imagined. We encourage our team and guests to reap the many personal benefits of disconnecting from daily life to reduce stress and improve overall health. Through embarking on our own adventures, we’ve become head-over-heels passionate about travel. Our team is dedicated to helping others discover the immeasurable joy that comes from exploring the world. For us, a well-traveled life is a well-lived life.

We are proud to be one of America’s most reputable tour operators, starting as a Midwest company offering guided motorcoach tours for local groups of guests. By prioritizing superior guest service and exceptional experiences, we’ve grown into a nationwide provider of guided air, rail, motorcoach, and cruise vacations to over 65 destinations worldwide. Our tours include all airfare, local departures, expert Tour Directors, regional guides, premier attractions, deluxe hotels, most meals, 24/7 emergency assistance, and exciting built-in surprises. Simply said- we take care of every detail, so our guests can focus on soaking up every minute of their vacation.

In 2016, we became part of Xanterra Travel Collection’s award-winning network. Xanterra is renowned for its “legendary hospitality with a softer footprint”, and thrives by their motto, “Live.Work.Explore.” Learn more at xanterra.com.

While we serve guests nationwide, our company is a hidden gem within Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It’s a fantastic community, and we are currently striving to earn the title of “best place to work.” If you’re passionate about travel and helping others find joy through discovering this amazing world, we’d love to have you on our team. https://bit.ly/HVcareers
