Christmas Markets
For truly festive fun this winter, why not enjoy a Christmas market break?
Wrap up warm, grab a glass of hot mulled wine and surrender to the ambience of a typical European Christmas Market.
With twinkling market stalls and cabins brimming with all kinds of Christmas merchandise and gifts, you will find everything for the Yuletide season - unique gifts of handicrafts, decorated gingerbread biscuits, tree ornaments, roasted nuts, and chocolates.
Our recommend Christmas Market destinations include Cologne, Munich, Prague , Vienna and Montreaux, to name just a few, although the options really are endless!
A two night break inclusive of flights and Bed and Breakfast accommodation starts from £140 per person. We are happy to arrange breaks to the Christmas Markets of your choice, with flights, coach, rail or cruise travel from your preferred departure point in the UK.

Meet Santa Claus
Kids grow up so fast and before you know it, the magic of Santa has gone.
For a personalised, intimate and un-commercialised Christmas in Lapland you really need look no further. Forget the stress of a one-day flying visit to Santa in Lapland and rediscover the genuine magic of Christmas and New Year, encapsulated in an unforgettable winter wonderland experience.
Savalen really is the perfect place to spend a family winter holiday. The accommodation is excellent, the activities varied and fun and Father Christmas is your neighbour! His large log built house is Savalen's centrepiece and is home to the elves' workshop, toy factory, and Father Christmas' own office. There are even some ski slopes and an ice rink within walking distance of your accommodation.
Prices start from £1,145 per adult and £875 per child for a four night holiday over Christmas, to include flights, transfers, cosy Santa Street apartment, most meals, a personal meeting with Father Christmas, sledging, snowmobiling, horse-pulled sleigh ride, husky safari and ice fishing, and cold weather clothing for the duration of your stay - outstanding value for money!
PLUS book our 23rd December 2011 departure and receive £50 off per person

In Search of the Northern Lights
NASA predicts best Auroras for 50 years!
The latest prediction from NASA is that the next couple of winters could witness the best displays of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, for 50 years, due to the Sun's magnetic field being at its fastest.
We are proud to offer a wide range of holidays that focus on actively hunting for the Northern Lights using husky sleds, skis, snowshoes, snowmobiles and heated cars and minibuses, in areas with the best geophysical forecast and very low light pollution.
Whilst sightings of the Aurora Borealis can never be guaranteed, our holidays enhance your chances of viewing a spectacular display. Each of our holidays are graded from "leisurely" to "very active", and we are sure to have a holiday to suit everyone. Many of our Northern Lights trips also provide the opportunity for an overnight stay at an Ice or Snow Hotel.
Prices lead in at £1,045 per person based on two sharing for a four night "Northern Lights at Leisure" break in Luosto, Finland. This holiday offers a 55% chance of seeing the Aurora on a daily basis, and a near 100% chance during a short stay in January and February.
Please visit our website for further information about our Northern Lights Holidays
One of our Leisure Consultants, Mel Broughton, has experienced a Northern Lights holiday in Finnish Lapland herself. To read all about her adventures, please click here.

Grab your skates and take to the ice rinks of The Big Apple this New Years Eve
Each year as the clock approaches midnight on the 31st December, the eyes of the world fix on the dazzling lights and buzzing energy of Times Square.
Each year as the clock approaches midnight on the 31st December, the eyes of the world fix on the dazzling lights and buzzing energy of Times Square.
'The Big Apple' is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, with the best of everything to offer its visitors. There are many 'must do's' for a visit to New York, including a carriage ride through Central Park, climbing the 354 steps to the top of the Statue of Liberty and marvel at the view from the top of the Empire State Building.
It goes without saying that New York is a shopaholics dream - shop 'til you drop at Tiffany's, Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue, and if you've still got energy to spare, hit the lively night scene. After all, New York is the city that never sleeps!
Whether you pop over to New York for a long weekend or combine this city with some relaxation time on a Caribbean beach - see in 2012 in style. Our New Year breaks to New York start from £899 per person, based on direct flights and four nights in a 4 star hotel, departing on 29th December 2011.
