[quote=katy1717;525010]I did one of the UK Christmas breaks last year - Oxford.  The accommodation was great and the staff at the hotel couldn't have been better.  But, for me, I would have preferred to be in the centre of Oxford and be able to get out and about in Oxford easily - altho' I realise for some that doing nothing and eating etc is the aim.   I think the Liverpool hotel in the centre of town that is being used for the NY trip would work better for me for a Christmas break - there is a lot in the centre of Liverpool.  (Although, of course, on Christmas Day everything is shut and there may be closures/short opening on other days at Christmas.)  Central hotels in large UK cities with lots to do would be my preferences.  
I did think about doing a Christmas break this year and, despite loving Italy, didn't want the hassle of travelling there around Christmas.  Also thought about Vietnam as I want to go there but decided I would prefer to leave this to February.
Think maybe a USA trip would be the only thing that could get me to book an overseas trip at Christmas - but when I have done the LBH trip next month and (I hope) the Chicago to New Orleans trip next year there will be no trips in the brochure that don't cover areas I have already visited or still want to do.[/quote]

Hi Dido,

thanks for your comments. We have listened to our customers' views a lot for this new brochure. We have added in new holidays which cover both Christmas and New Year. We have also added extra departures in destinations like Iceland and Norway.

We have in the past offered many further afield holidays for the festive period but they are les popular than the UK and European tours we offer. I think for Christmas it is especially important that we have enough interest in the tours so that they operate.

I will of course take into account your views though, especially when we come to work on our next festive brochure.

best regards

Will

To be honest, I'm really disappointed with the JY offerings over the festive season to come 2014-15. Many of the dates are out of the range I am obliged to take - leaving a whole week prior to Christmas or else arriving back too late. Others on offer are no more than very short breaks.

What about a 2 centre - NYC followed by warmth and relaxation in Florida and/or The Keys?

South Africa? Cape Town first then ...? A Cuba tour? Egypt tour? Dubai? Morocco?

The dates on offer for these destinations, where they are included, all seem to stop way short of Christmas - why?

We don't all 'like' the Christmas period at home and would prefer to get away but neither are we all retired or at liberty to take limitless time off.

Come on JY - a couple of years ago, I did the Californian west coast and had an amazing time. Show me where next...?

So there are 2 of us already for Christmas and New Year to New Zealand in 2016- how about it?

Hi Julie,

There are 12 currently confirmed to travel on this trip, ten taking the main tour only with two staying for the New York add-on and the Tour Manager has not yet been allocated for this holiday.

Our Festive Holidays collection will be mailing in May, with a bit of luck and a following wind they will be available to view and book online before the brochure lands on your doorstep.

Kindest regards,

Julia

Now there's an interesting idea. My 70th is a couple of days into 2017 and I have NZ on my wish list.

Looking back at all the different ideas for Christmas and New Year, can't wait for the brochure to come out next month.

One of the comments was for Times Square on NYE-do not bother- you go in at 14.00 and if you leave- do not go in again. We were at a hotel within a block of Times Square, opened the window and watched the ball drop on TV with a glass of champagne! Was my 50th birthday and 2006. Then they were talking to several women being proposed by their fiances in Afghanistan- so set up :P

I have been on the Italian Dolomites / Croatia for the last two Christmas / New Year

this is a great trip for anyone who hasn't done it.

I would like to do something long haul this year Viatnam or maybe New Orleans

or anywhere that that covers Christmas/New Year.

New year at Hinckley is great but after four visits to warwick castle it gets tedious, I come from stratford on avon and although I have tried Swindon and Cheltenham Hinckley is still my favourite, could the hotel maybe introduce a spa day for those who don't wish to join the tour and are only there for the fab evenings.

Not to worry Angie

The Vietnam and Vietnam & Cambodia are the only festive tours that were included in the last brochure. JY Will and his team are busy working on the festive holidays for this year as we speak! They will be available in the next few months.

Kindest regards,

Julia
