EUROPE An emerging trend in the touring holiday market, by no surprise, is European getaways. Look a bit closer to home and you’ll discover many fascinating cities, sublime countryside, glorious coastlines and rivers. Whether it’s sailing to sunny Santorini or watching the Northern Lights on a winter adventure in Iceland, Europe really does have it all.
The Northern Lights & Golden Circle Iceland’s otherworldly aura seems to heighten in the winter months, when viewing of the Northern Lights is at its pinnacle and the contrast between the cool, crisp air and its steaming geothermic hot springs peaks. Couple that with hiking through Þingvellir National Park, exploring lava caves, and chasing waterfalls, and you’ve got yourself a spectacular winter adventure like no other. Hoist the sails Get your sea legs ready, for the best way to explore the beautiful islands of Greece is by boat. While away the days swimming in the turquoise waters, lazing on sandy beaches and sampling mouthwatering cuisine. Explore at a leisurely pace, the chic waterfront bars and narrow streets of Mykonos await.
Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo Lose yourself in the tragic love affair of Romeo and Juliet in Shakespearian Verona. Italy attracts a mass of multinational tourists year-round, and it’s no surprise why.

A visit to Italy wouldn’t be complete without a trip to the fashion capital of Milan. Live life like the Italians – to the fullest. Epicurean Europe Food sits at the heart of travel for many, a key part of cultures and a way to share special moments together. For Europe that’s no exception.
