Insight Vacations offers new product and super savings with winter Europe program
Insight Vacations has announced the launch of it’s 2011/12 Winter Europe and Eastern Mediterranean program featuring a range of 34 premium autumn, winter and spring itineraries including five new fully escorted tours.
The new program provides agents with a wide variety of hassle-free holiday options to offer their clients including Christmas market departures, Italian touring and itineraries visiting The Alps and Central Europe, Morocco, Greece, Spain and Portugal. For the independent-minded traveller, Insight Vacations offers six Select Choices itineraries combining the freedom of independent travel with the style, comfort and convenience for which Insight Vacations is renowned.
Lorraine Sharp, managing director, Insight Vacations, said “There is something truly special about travelling throughout Europe in autumn, winter or spring. Each season has a distinct atmosphere ranging from the bustling Christmas markets to the tranquil beauty of autumn.
“Insight’s Winter Europe and Eastern Mediterranean program has continued to expand year on year, and 2011/12 is no exception as our largest offering to date for November through to April departures.
“New additions this year include the seven-day Magical Switzerland, providing Australians with the ultimate alpine winter show and the 10-day Best of Italy, which conveniently features all of the regions top highlights.
“Also new to the program is the 17-day Grand Egyptian Explorer, the 16-day Genesis, which takes in Israel and Egypt, and the 12-day Jordan and Israel. We added Jordan and Israel itineraries into our winter program for the first time ever last year and this further expansion really demonstrates the increased demand for these two destinations.
“We attribute the overall continual growth of our Winter Europe and Eastern Mediterranean program to an increased awareness amongst Australian travellers of the unique experiences and of course, savings, on offer throughout Europe during these seasons.
“Holidaying during off peak can net travellers huge discounts. For example, itineraries in our 2011/12 Winter Europe and Eastern Mediterranean program are up to 20 per cent less than comparable summer tours. Organised travellers can stretch these savings even further by taking advantage of Insight’s Early Payment Discounts of up to 7.5 per cent off the tour. Plus, if they have already travelled with Insight Vacations previously, clients can take a further five per cent off with Insight’s Frequent Traveller Discount.
“Travelling with Insight Vacations during Europe off-peak does not mean a compromise on quality. Whichever season our guests choose to travel, they do it in style with intimate groups limited to just 40 guests aboard Insight’s luxury coaches providing more legroom and more comfort; enjoy a range of Premium Highlights and Personal Insights, guided by a knowledgeable tour director and stay in a range of selected hotels in desirable locations. When you look at all of this, it’s clear there really is no better value holiday option for autumn, winter and spring.”
