Where are you travelling from, I'm coming from Heanor derbyshire? I'm 59 years old.

I've booked York for Christmas this year. I really don't want the hassle of going abroad at that time of year It was a toss-up between that and Liverpool at New Year. If Liverpool had been at Christmas, that would have been my first choice.

I went to Durham for Christmas last year, and it was lovely. It's a small city, and the hotel is central. Several of us walked up to the cathedral for midnight mass, it was the bishop's last service before taking over as Archbishop of Canterbury, and the cathedral was packed. It was so beautiful.

I am going to York also on Monday. I just thought I would see if anyone else had posted. I have been before with my husband years ago in November and it was magical. This will be my first Christmas away on my own so I am looking forward to it. Look forward to meeting you and others.

I always look first at the programme first and then the destination.

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

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.

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

For 2016 can you set up a package to New Zealand for Christmas and New Year please- my 60 th birthday :thumbup:

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

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,

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...?

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
