Following [\textit{V. N. Berestovskii} and \textit{C. Plaut}, J. Geom. Anal. 9, No.~2, 203--219 (1999; Zbl 1009.53038)], a metric space \((M,\rho)\) is said to be \(\delta\)-homogeneous if for any two points \(x\), \(y\) of \(M\), there exists an isometry \(f\) on \((M,\rho)\), such that \(f(x)= y\) and \(\rho(x,f (x))\geq\rho(z,f(z))\) for all \(z\in M\). If such metric exists in an isometry subgroup \(G\), then \((M,\rho)\) is called \(G\)-\(\delta\)-homogeneous. In the present paper, any \(\delta\)-homogeneous Riemannian manifold \((M,\mu)\) is proved to be \(G\)-\(\delta\)-homogeneous for a suitable Lie group \(G\) of motions on the space. Then, it is shown that each geodesic \(\gamma\) in a \(\delta\)-homogeneous Riemannian manifold \((M,\mu)\) is the orbit of the one-parameter group of motions on \(M\) generated by a Killing vector field \(X\), attaining maximal length at \(\dot\gamma\). Thus, \(\delta\)-homogeneous Riemannian manifolds are a new subclass of geodesic orbit spaces. This subclass strictly contains the one of all normal homogeneous Riemannian manifolds.
