Eastern Europe holidays & tours

If you love history and culture, our Eastern European holidays will fascinate you. These intriguing countries offer rich sightseeing opportunities and there is no better way to explore them than on our escorted Eastern Europe tours and cruises.

Our Eastern Europe holidays include tours to the Czech Republic, abounding in castles and chateaux; Prague is surely one of the world's most beautiful and cultured cities. Our holidays in Eastern Europe also include Slovakia, a fairytale land of Alpine peaks and cliff top castles, wooden churches and traditional villages with ancient log cottages.

East meets West in Poland, from magnificent medieval architecture in Krakow to delicious New World cuisine in Warsaw. There is a unique warmth on our Eastern Europe Tours, not just from the vodka!

A popular highlight of our holidays in Eastern Europe is amazing Russia, from historic St Petersburg with its baroque architecture and canals, to magical Moscow - where bohemian art galleries nestle alongside ancient icons and swirly-spired churches. Your only dilemma: which Eastern Europe holiday to choose?
