Christmas & New Year Holidays

Nothing rings in the New Year like a change in scenery. We offer a range of exciting destinations to escape to this holiday season. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the dramatic mountains of Andalucía to the crystal blue waters of Lake Garda, each of our New Year’s holidays allow us to take in breathtaking scenery while exploring local history and culture with guided excursions. Of course, we’ll also ring in the New Year in style with a delicious dinner full of local and international delicacies, live music and dancing.

Escape the holiday madness and fly south on our selection of Christmas holidays in the sun. Malta and Tenerife have some of the warmest winter weather in all of Europe and are a great place to get a dose of Vitamin D during the holiday season. Spain’s Costa Brava may be slightly cooler than the islands this time of year, but no less beautiful! On our Costa Brava holiday, we’ll experience a traditional Spanish Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with dinner, drinks and entertainment.

Turn Christmas shopping from a chore to a treat on our Christmas Market holidays! We offer a selection of holidays to Christmas Markets in Cologne, Munich, Vienna and more. Enjoy a steaming cup of Glühwein as we explore the markets of Berlin, get in the festive spirit with live carol singers in the markets of Vienna, and shop for traditional Hungarian crafts in the markets of Budapest. All of our holidays include city tours with expert, local guides to help us get our bearings and plenty of free time to wander the markets at our own pace.

Enjoy a holiday like no other on our Italian Christmas getaways. On our trips to Lake Garda and Tuscany, we’ll have the opportunity to experience Christmas in another culture as we explore towns and villages, cathedrals and sacred sites, all lit up in celebration of this magical time of the year. Italy is known for its fantastic food and at an Italian Christmas, the traditional cuisine takes centre stage. Our festive Italian holidays include delicious Christmas dinners featuring a variety of regional delicacies and international staples.

When most people think of a European Christmas, we picture snow covered mountains, rich, timber-framed buildings strung with Christmas lights, and a winding maze of lively Christmas markets. We’ll be able to experience all of this and more on our Festive Holidays to Austria and Germany. Sail down the Rhine River to traditional German towns and villages or spend a week surrounded by beautiful alpine scenery in the Austrian Alps. If you’re looking for a traditional European Christmas, look no further than our festive getaways to Austria and Germany.
