Leger Holidays has launched Lumina – an entirely new luxury coach concept designed to ‘redefine premium travel across Europe’.
*All details correct at time of publish (5 June 2026)
Launching on the road from Spring 2027, Lumina marks the next evolution in luxury coach travel, said the company in a statement, with customers able to book this travel option from 4 June.
Lumina is the first coach upgrade for Leger Holidays since the hugely successful introduction of Luxuria coaches in 2015 – the company’s exclusive and acclaimed business-class equivalent coach.
Built with expansive panoramic glass throughout the vehicle – including a stunning panoramic glass roof – Lumina draws natural light and surrounding landscapes directly into the cabin, creating an immersive touring experience unlike anything currently available in the market.
The name Lumina itself is inspired by radiance and the presence of natural light.
While the exterior maintains the dimensions of a typical touring coach, inside the experience is entirely different. Lumina accommodates just 27 guests, creating an intimate, sanctuary-like environment focused on quiet luxury and personal space.
Unlike traditional coach tours, Lumina holidays are hosted, never simply driven. Each departure includes a dedicated Curator who travels with guests throughout the holiday, providing personal attention and enhancing the overall touring experience.
Lumina coach features include:
- Dedicated Curator accompanying every tour alongside two Hosts
- A panoramic glass roof, which opens the sky above every road
- Spacious leather armchair-style seating with deep diamond-quilted cushion and generous recline
- Exceptional, average 1043mm legroom, greater than many leading airlines
- Forward-facing 2+1 seating configuration
- Personal entertainment system at every seat
- High-speed uninterrupted, complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi throughout the journey
- Atmospheric mood lighting that shifts with the journey
- Rear onboard servery with complimentary drinks
Launching with More Than 40 Premium Tours
Customers will be able to select to travel on the Lumina coach on more than 40 specially selected escorted tours across Europe, including:
- Grand Tour of Switzerland
- Lake Garda, Venice & Verona
- La Rioja & San Sebastian – Northern Spain in Style
The new Lumina Collection has been designed to appeal to travellers seeking a more premium, stress-free alternative to flying, combining ultra-comfortable travel with expertly curated touring experiences.
Liam Race, CEO of Leger Shearings Group, said: “At the beginning of the year we reported that Leger Holidays has seen a clear demographic shift, attracting a more affluent customer base. This resulted in longer and more premium holiday bookings, especially via Leger’s exclusive Luxuria coach, which experienced a 25% year-over-year growth.
“Leger Holidays changed the perception of coach holidays with its business-class equivalent coaches. Our guests love the stress-free, ultra-comfortable travel experience — avoiding flying and all the exhausting drama, hanging around and uncertainty it can involve.
“It’s a more sustainable way to explore Europe too. The introduction of our exclusively designed, cutting-edge Lumina coach builds on this demand and takes it one step further.”
Leger Shearings Group’s Head of Retail Sales, Ashley Dellow, said: “I remember the excitement when we launched Luxuria around ten years ago – and I’m feeling that same energy again with Lumina!
“It’s something genuinely fresh for agents to sell, giving them a distinctive way to inspire customers at a time when demand for premium touring is stronger than ever. I’m confident it will elevate European touring and deliver real opportunity for our valued agent partners.”
Chris Plummer, Chief Product Officer at Leger Shearings Group, said: “Since its debut in 2015, Luxuria redefined coach holidays, setting a benchmark for refined luxury. We’re not losing Luxuria — there is, however, a new contender raising the bar and giving our customers even more choice.
“Lumina has been eleven years in the making, our most considered launch in more than a decade, shaped not by haste, but by the pursuit of getting everything right.”
