Contiki Holidays has announced the launch of its 2011/12 Europe Winter brochure, featuring 27 seasonal holiday trips for 18 to 35 year olds.
Fiona Hunt, managing director, Contiki Holidays said “There is so much about Europe in winter that appeals to young Australians. Winter trips fit right into the end of year holiday period and offers a range of exciting experiences, such as a white Christmas, outdoor ice-rinks and seasonal specialities like gluhwein that are unlike anything at home.
“Contiki’s 2011/12 Europe Winter program offers something to suit all types of traveller with four distinct styles. There are Time Out Multi-Country itineraries, perfect for those visiting Europe for the first time and want to see as much as possible in the time frame they have, plus Time Out In-Depth Regional tours, which delve deep into the heart of each place visited.
“Another huge drawcard for young travellers exploring Europe in winter is the opportunity to ski or board in the European Alps. As such, we also offer Ski Austria options – fully-flexible one or two-week ski and boarding packages staying at Contiki’s exclusive and authentic Gasthof in the Austrian Tyrol.
“Contiki also offers Festivals and Events, featuring some of the hottest dates on Europe’s winter calendar including New Year’s Eve departures in either Amsterdam or Paris.
“With forward bookings for winter demonstrating a keen interest from young Australians, I feel certain that this will be a trend that will continue to grow season after season.”
