Make this festive season truly unforgettable with a cheer-inspiring getaway this Christmas. Whether you’re dreaming of a winter wonderland, a cosy countryside escape, or a sun-soaked retreat, we have the perfect Christmas breaks to help you celebrate in style.
For those who love the magic of Christmas markets, there are plenty of choices across Europe's major cities, from historic Kraków to elegant Vienna and Budapest, the Pearl of the Danube. If you'd prefer to spend Christmas closer to home, the Scottish Highlands offer fascinating exploration amongst their enchanting landscapes. South of the border, our festive escapes to Yorkshire, Hampshire and the Cotswolds combine cosy accommodations with historical highlights.
If scenic highlights are at the top of your wish-list, Norway's magnificent western fjords are sure to impress, while an escape to the Italian Dolomites will immerse you in a series of stunning alpine vistas and charming winter villages. Slovenia's Lake Bled, known for its panoramic views and unique Christmas traditions is another popular option.
You can also opt to make lifelong memories with the whole family on an Arctic adventure to Swedish Lapland, the home of Santa Claus, or perhaps set out in search of winter warmth with a Mediterranean getaway to charming Malta.
Looking ahead to the New Year, you can also start your celebration with a bang on one of our unforgettable New Year's breaks, designed to ring in the year ahead with excitement, relaxation, and discovery. Our collection of New Year's breaks also offer options for solo travellers looking to start the year with a memorable escape, and music lovers can enjoy a special festive concert with André Rieu in Maastricht.
With expertly planned itineraries, accommodations, and festive meals included, our Christmas break packages provide a stress-free way to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in unique destinations.
Wherever you choose to celebrate, our Christmas and New Year breaks promise unforgettable experiences filled with festive joy, beautiful surroundings, and cherished moments.
