CRUISES: Seasonal ocean and river cruises
How about Christmas on the ocean waves? For a different slant on your Christmas celebrations or New Year break why not take a look at ocean or river cruises?
A seasonal ocean cruise can offer the unique experience of Christmas day at sea, with fabulous food, festive fun and seasonal entertainment all laid on. Perhaps take a festive themed cruise around Great Britain and Ireland, celebrating Hogmanay in Edinburgh; or a Canaries Christmas/New Year sailing from Southampton; or perhaps a classic Mediterranean cruise with Christmas aboard.
Seasonal river cruises in Europe explore the brightly lit towns of the Rhine, perhaps taking in European Christmas markets such as Aalborg, Copenhagen or Hamburg; or they can offer the chance to admire New Year's Eve fireworks over the Rhine in the German city of Koblenz.
UK: Festive hotel breaks
It's the coastal resort or country house hotel escape – at very affordable prices!
All the bases are covered, there are traditional Christmas breaks with all the trimmings, the tree, the panto, the fireworks and traditional eating and drinking! There are 'Twixmas' breaks to re-charge after Boxing Day and before the New Year celebrations kick in. There are 'Tinsel & Turkey' breaks for a pre-Christmas escape with all the seasonal festivities rolled into a four-night mid-week break. And then there are three or four night New Year breaks which include a fabulous New Years Eve 5-course gala dinner and a countdown to midnight and 'Auld Lang Syne'.
