Route45 Holidays
Founded on April 14, 2024, Route45 Holidays (R45 Holidays) has, within a remarkably short span, emerged as one of the fastest-growing international travel brands catering to Indian travelers.The company has achieved a significant milestone by successfully serving over 7,000 happy customers across six continents, an impressive accomplishment for a travel company that has been operational for less than a year. Headquartered in the United Kingdom with rapidly expanding operations across India and Europe, Route45 Holidays is redefining the way Indian travelers experience international holidays.
Driven by a clear vision to make global travel affordable, experiential, and accessible without compromising on quality, Route45 Holidays positions itself as a full-service international travel solutions provider. Unlike traditional travel agencies that focus primarily on bookings, the company offers end-to-end services including group tours, customized international holidays, honeymoon packages, corporate travel planning, and experiential travel programs designed for families, professionals, and adventure enthusiasts.
In a short period, Route45 Holidays has built an impressive global footprint by partnering with over 290 trusted travel partners across Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, Oceania, and the Middle East. This strong international network enables the company to deliver seamless inbound and outbound travel services while maintaining consistent service quality across destinations. Every itinerary is thoughtfully curated with professional local guides, immersive activities, and well-designed schedules, allowing travelers to truly connect with each destination rather than engage in rushed sightseeing.
A key differentiator for Route45 Holidays is its emphasis on experience-based travel as a core philosophy. The company prioritizes comfort, cultural exposure, and meaningful travel moments—an approach that has resonated strongly with Indian travelers who increasingly seek personalized and value-driven international experiences. As a result, the company’s customer base grew rapidly, crossing the 7,000-traveller milestone within months of its official launch.
Among its most popular offerings are affordable luxury Bali holiday packages, which have gained strong traction among Indian tourists. These packages combine premium island stays with competitive pricing, making luxury travel accessible to a broader audience. Beyond island destinations, Route45 Holidays also offers comprehensive international itineraries across Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, appealing to travelers seeking flexibility, exploration, and adventure.
With a strong commitment to transparency and customer satisfaction, Route45 Holidays clearly communicates inclusions and exclusions across all packages, covering aspects such as airfare, visa charges, peak-season pricing, and personal expenses.
