FAMILY ADVENTURES WITH COX & KINGS
LUXURY OPERATOR INTRODUCES NEW COLLECTION OF PRIVATE FAMILY HOLIDAYS TO INSPIRE ALL GENERATIONS TO EXPLORE THE WORLD
London – 27 February 2017
Cox & Kings' new range of family holidays has been created especially for families seeking adventure and discovery without compromising comfort and peace of mind. As all families are unique, the different itineraries are intended purely as suggestions and all can be adapted to suit a family's particular interests and budget.
Cox & Kings' head of product, Nigel Hosking, says, “These new holidays have been designed with the aim of inspiring family members of all generations to get out into the world and experience its countless wonders at first hand and collecting long-lasting memories. We think this is the best type of education: learn to cook like a local, zip-wire above rainforest canopy, track wild animals, snorkel amid shoals of tropical fish, hike to centuries-old temples, haggle your way around chaotic markets, or explore backroads by bicycle and backwoods by snowmobile.”
The following are a selection of the different ideas available:
Iceland: Reykjavik and the Golden Circle Family Adventure
5 days / 4 nights from £695 per person
A year-round destination, Iceland is just 3 hours' flying time from the UK and offers a myriad of activities for the family.

NOTE TO EDITORS
Cox & Kings is the world's longest established travel company. Its history stretches back more than 250 years to 1758 when Richard Cox was appointed regimental agent to the Footguards (later the Grenadier Guards). The company's fortunes grew hand in hand with the British empire and by the early 20th century the company was acting as agent and banker throughout the armed forces and as a shipping agent. In 1922 Cox & Co merged with the Henry S King bank, which had strong connections with India. The bank became part of Lloyds and the shipping agency grew separately, evolving into the modern travel company.
Today, built on the high quality service and attention to detail established by Richard Cox in the 18th century, the company continues to flourish as an independent tour operator, with operations in London, the US, Japan, Australia and throughout India. Cox & Kings organises escorted small-group tours and private tailor-made travel in the Indian Subcontinent, Latin America, the Middle East, the Far East, Africa, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific, and the Caribbean.
