What most of us in the travel industry has heard, since
the turn of the year, is Europe-Europe-Europe !
Why Europe for 2016 ?
Every years, it seems like, a specific destination is
predicted as being the “hottest” traveled that year. So again, what we’re hearing this year, is
Europe.
So many choices !
It’s
true. The traveler today, has many
options.
Cruising continues to be one of the most popular choices for seeing Europe ! Where you can
This year
seems to be a race, as to which ships/itineraries will fill up first, by
looking at all the cruise line sales. In
past years, my experience has seen Norwegian Cruise Line fill up the fastest,
due to their already low costs !

The Avid Cruiser states: “If any particular region of the world is best suited for cruising,
it’s Europe. Whether you want to tour the Mediterranean
or Northern
Europe, cruising is the mode of transportation that provides the
greatest exposure to destinations while eliminating logistical challenges. And
no matter where your ship takes you, your lodging will be consistently
comfortable, and dining will be sumptuous, plentiful and familiar … Such ease
perhaps explains why there are more ships scheduled to cruise Europe than
ever before. Moreover, with a cruise, costs are known and controlled in
advance, which is particularly helpful when budgeting for your travel”.

Preferred Vendors: Today,
most all name brand cruise lines are traveling to Europe. And many have GREAT SALES going on !
Europe by land, has been popular for years ! #1 choice is escorted tours ! Yet companies such as Monograms, can provide the
traveler with their own freedom !
Globus says, “Escorted
tours are just another way to say "perfectly planned".
Why not picture an organized jaw-dropping, stress-free
getaway. From transportation to hotels; and from researching must-see
attractions to organizing daily schedules !
Planning such a vacation is no easy task. That's where escorted tour packages come in.
With escorted travel, you sit back and leave everything to the land operators
expertise ! Let a professional handle
all the details, logistics, and scheduling of your escorted tour for you”. When
Globus envision the perfect vacation, they see great hotels, amazing food,
incredible sightseeing, and above all, they imagine creating memories galore!
Few preferred Land
Tour Operators: Adventures by Disney,
American Airline Vacations, Avanti Destinations, CIE Tours, Europe Express, Collette,
Globus/Cosmos/Monograms, Tauck, Trafalgar
Why not both !
Combine a cruise with a pre-post land package. Select land tour operators, such as Globus, can plan your pre/post
cruise experience in your embarkation/disembarkation port.
As River Cruise Advisor states: “For many travelers, the slow chug along the river is just the right pace for getting the lay of the land. Sitting on the top deck of a ship under brilliant blue skies, you gaze on fabled landscapes dotted with castles, villages and vineyards. A flight of stairs down, and you have all the amenities of a modern hotel — restaurants, bars, lounges, fitness facilities, spas, internet access and comfortable staterooms …. River cruises offer opportunities to step ashore in fairy tale towns and fabled cities. Immerse yourself in contemporary culture, and learn something about the history of the towns along the Continent’s greatest rivers”.
