Inghams releases 2023 summer programme early

Inghams has unveiled its 2023 programme early, with a £70 deposit offer to help boost sales.

The tour operator said the offer, which runs until October 31, was “inspired by Britain’s longest-reigning monarch’s 70 years on the throne”.

Walking, nature and sightseeing holidays across Europe’s lakes and mountains all feature in next year’s programme.
