The Transat Holidays Europe 2009-2010 brochure is now available
Montreal, January 19, 2009
Transat Holidays is pleased to launch its second 2009-2010 Europe brochure with loads of vacation ideas in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. The new Europe 2009-2010 brochure contains 92 pages packed with new offerings, including the all-new Bike & Boat package in the Netherlands, along with attractive promotions.
The ever-popular Transat Holidays City Package, which includes flights, accommodation, breakfasts or kitchenette and transfers, is being offered in London, Paris, Frankfurt and Munich. Several new hotels have been added to this offering.
Transat Holidays has also added two new City Packages + Excursions (flights, accommodation, breakfast, transfers and excursions) for those who desire a luxurious European holiday: The Paris Experience and The London Experience. The London Experience offers travellers a chance to enjoy an extraordinary vacation in London that includes luxury accommodation, afternoon tea at a 5-star hotel, an evening of theatre, and a champagne flight on the London Eye – little extras to make a vacation truly memorable.
A long-time Transat Holidays favourite, the Two or Three-City Package (flights, accommodation, breakfasts and train transfers) is offered as a Duo: Paris & London, and as a Trio: Munich, Salzburg & Vienna, and Frankfurt, Berlin & Cologne.
Formerly known as the Car or Train Tour, the City Hopping package (flights, accommodation, breakfasts and car rental or train travel) is perfectly suited to travellers who wish to visit towns and attractions at their own pace. These packages are available from London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Hamburg.
For a novel way to visit the Netherlands, Transat Holidays has a new offering this season, the Bike & Boat package (flights, accommodation, boat, breakfasts, bicycle and train), departing from Amsterdam. This holiday option enables travellers to explore the region’s picturesque countryside as they cycle along country roads, or sit back and relax onboard the boat as it glides through magnificent landscapes. They can choose between the Southern Tour and the Northern Tour. The Northern Tour begins in Amsterdam and moves on to Volendam and Enkhuizen via Texel Island and Alkmaar, exploring fishing villages, forests, dunes and beaches.
Coach Tours provide the perfect opportunity to discover the best of Europe in the company of an experienced guide. Transat Holidays offers Paris & the French Countryside, an itinerary that takes travellers through some of France’s most glorious landscapes and introduces them to fascinating cultural sites such as Versailles and the chateaux of the Loire Valley.
Transat Holidays also offers a wide selection of à la carte hotels in Germany, France, Britain, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. In England, Scotland and Wales, travellers can also choose from a wide variety of Bed & Breakfasts. Numerous à la carte excursions are available in most of the bigger cities.
Air Transat and Transat Holidays continue to offer direct flights to the main European destinations such as London, Paris, Frankfurt, Munich and Amsterdam. The UK is as accessible as ever with direct flights to Glasgow and Manchester. From June 2008, passengers have enjoyed greater legroom for a more comfortable travelling experience, along with online seat selection, the comfort and personalized service of Club Class and the Air Transat Kids’ Club for children between the ages of 2 and 11.
Rental cars are a good option for those wishing to explore Europe’s highways and byways. Transat Holidays has partnered with Hertz and Peugeot EuropAuto in order to provide a broad selection of rental cars.
The 2009-2010 Europe brochure also features magnificent cruises departing from Amsterdam and London. Many of the itineraries connect with Air Transat’s direct flights departing from Vancouver. Vacationers will travel with the best cruise lines in the world: Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, MSC Cruises, Costa Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line, to name just a few, with itineraries in the Mediterranean, the Baltic Sea, and along the Atlantic Coast.
