Grand Tour of Spain & Portugal
"There’s so much to see on this tour with two great capital cities, Lisbon and Madrid. My favourite place though has to be Seville, with its wonderful cathedral, the beautiful Alcazar and gardens, but also the simple pleasures of a cooling ice-cream whilst strolling down the picturesque narrow lanes."
Recommended to you by Huw Williams, Marketing Director
Nashville, New Orleans & Elvis Presley’s Memphis
"I love history and art and have visited many cities. But I keep coming back to Italy because no other country on earth offers such an extraordinary concentration of historic buildings and works of art - and there is always something new to see. They don’t call it ‘La Dolce vita’ for nothing!"
Recommended to you by Paul McTiernan, Operations Director
Cruising the Adriatic & Aegean Delights
"For those who like to combine a relaxing holiday with as much activity as you decide each day, this is the perfect combination. I will never forget the view of Venice in the early evening as we glided past the historic city and St. Mark’s, so close I felt I could just reach out and touch the architectural masterpieces. The contrast in scenery and cultures was amazing, from the magnificent mountains of Austria to fascinating iconic cities like Venice and Athens and the fjordlike scenery as we approached Kotor in Montenegro."
Recommended to you by Nick Newton, Finance Director
The Elegance & Charm of the Italian & French Riviera
"The best of everything! From the medieval village of St. Paul de Vence, famous for its artists, to the glitz of Monaco, the glamour of the Croisette in Cannes and the buzz of Nice, this tour has got it all. Having been there myself it is definitely worth visiting at least once.
Recommended to you by Michael Rhodes, eCommerce Manager
Sorrento & the Neopolitan Riviera
"This tour gives you so many different experiences... from peering into the crater at the top of Mount Vesuvius to walking the streets of the ancient city of Pompeii to standing inside the magnificent Colosseum in Rome."
Recommended to you by Richard Oxspring, Customer Operations Manager
Little Trains of Austria
"I’m not a train enthusiast, but I couldn’t help feel the exhilaration and excitement of travelling on some fantastic train rides through contrasting and breathtaking landscapes. The beautiful scenery was amazing."
Recommended to you by Chris Plummer, Product General Manager
Majorca Uncovered
"Majorca is an island of contrasts and has so much more to offer than first realised. Each coast offers something different, with the rocky coast to the west, the dramatic Cap Formentor peninsula in the north and the golden beaches of the south and east. Inland, the island is dotted with picturesque villages, set amongst spectacular mountain scenery."
Recommended to you by Anita Rodgers, European Touring Commercial Manager
The Rhine & Moselle Valleys
"The Rhine Valley has to be one of the prettiest places I have visited, with its castles and vineyards nestled along the hillsides, and picturesque villages along the River Rhine. I particularly liked Boppard and Rüdesheim with their quaint cobbled streets and, of course, the local wine."
Recommended to you by Julie Richardson, Reservations Manager
The Italian & French Rivieras
"A truly memorable holiday with the all inclusive leaving nothing to worry about and the itinerary was fantastic... all in the company of like-minded people."
Recommended to you by Roland Clauw, Hotel Contracts Manager
Ostend, Belgium’s Premier Seaside Resort
"Visitors will be amazed by all there is to see and to do in the cosmopolitan city of Ostend. This city by the sea has over five miles of sandy beaches and a promenade with shops, bars and restaurants where you can sample the sea’s delicacies."
Recommended to you by Kate Wild, Reservations Surpervisor
Cruising the Christmas Markets of the Rhine Valley
"I’ve travelled on the Rhine Princess four times and each time it’s just as magical. All in all, this holiday is a great way to see the Rhine’s spectacular sights and take in the markets – perfect to get you in the festive spirit."
Recommended to you by Ashley Dellow, Head of Retail Sales
Edinburgh Tattoo
"I recently visited the beautiful city of Edinburgh to take in the famous Tattoo in Edinburgh Castle. The event was spectacular. With restaurants and lively bars, historic sights and beautiful architecture, Edinburgh offers something for all ages."
Recommended to you by Caroline Thorpe, Design Studio Manager
Highlights of Eastern Europe
"An absolutely amazing tour. There’s so much to see on this Eastern European adventure, when you get back it’s hard to believe that you’ve seen and done such a lot in such a short time. The city of Krakow is one that I hadn’t visited before, and one that I really loved, with its huge central square – the largest in all Europe’s medieval cities – and its charming Jewish quarter, ‘Kazimierz’, and of course, its history. A visit to the sites of Auschwitz Concentration Camps was a very memorable and emotive experience, and one which I would definitely recommend. In Budapest, the many amazing sights this magnificent city boasts were brought to life by our knowlegeable guide on our city tour and a leisurely lunchtime cruise along the splendid Danube River proved to be a very relaxing way to spend an hour or so. In the charming city of Prague I climbed the 138 steps of The Old Town Bridge Tower for a bird’s eye view of the delightful Charles Bridge, where the smooth sounds of the saxophone from the street musicians there could still be heard. If you’re looking for an Eastern European adventure that takes you to some of the most fabulous cities this part of the world has to offer, this is definitely the tour for you.."
