Special Event Departures
Make your next holiday of a lifetime even more memorable by choosing one of our special event departure dates.
As special interest tour operators, we have a range of special departures and destinations to help you get the most our of your holiday experience. You can choose your holiday to coincide with a special event or a particular time of year.
We often have special holidays like seasonal short city breaks to some of the prettiest Christmas cities in Europe for a spot of shopping. Prague is particularly atmospheric in winter months.
Nature provides sightseeing of a different kind with wonders of her own. A trip to New England or Eastern Canada in the Autumn to see the spectacular, firework coloured foliage of the Fall will take your breath away as will the natural northern lightshow of the aurora borealis, best seen from arctic waters.
As special interest tour operators, we know that music lovers appreciate our special holidays to the famous jazz festivals of New Orleans and Montreal. We also offer a range of special tours to Graceland, home of the legendary Elvis Presley.
Special tours to America include the Wild West spectacle that is the Calgary Stampede and for those with a military interest we have special holidays to the battlefield at Little Bighorn and key sites from the American Civil War.
For more spiritual special holidays, we offer a trip to the Andalucian capital of Seville for the religious festival of Semana Santa or at the other end of the spectrum you can combine a trip to New Orleans with the wildly extravagant Mardi Gras.
