No matter your travel style, Newmarket Holidays has a range of Christmas and New Year packages to ensure you experience an unforgettable start to the New Year.
Whether you want to soak up the yuletide spirit on the shores of Lake Garda, glide through the snow on a sleigh or enjoy a Christmas in warmer climes beside the Mediterranean, we’ve got a stocking full of Christmas and New Year holidays to tempt you and your family. Plus, all of our tours are run by friendly, experienced tour managers who will make sure you feel comfortable and enjoy your festive season.
Admire the snow-blanketed mountains of the Austrian Tyrol, or escape to a festive fairy-tale hideaway in the beautiful, leafy surroundings of Chantilly forest at Chateau de Montvillargenne. Perhaps head south to the Mediterranean for a winter-warming festive holiday, and ring in the New Year with clear skies, basking in the winter sun as you relax on Cyprus, Spain’s Costa Brava or historic Malta. Or maybe cruise along some of Europe's most beautiful rivers, and take in the festive atmosphere of some charming, riverside towns and villages.
