While an Australian winter is a little on the meh side, in Europe, winter represents travel experiences that invoke awe, merriment, and reasons to drink by an open fire. From Christmas markets to New Year’s Eve celebrations, Albatross Tours have guaranteed tour departures this festive season.
The European tour experts, NTIA award-winning Albatross Tours have been showing Australians the best of the continent for 30 years. Their commitment to provide authentic, meaningful travel sees their passengers return year after year.
Christmas done right
These Albatross Tours tour commitments are especially impactful for your clients considering festive season tours.
Instead of zipping in and out of Hornberg’s German Christmas markets, Albatross guests have an immersive 6-night stay. Six nights to enjoy angelic choirs, twinkling lights, and winter-warming mulled wine – heavenly!
In our chocolate-and-cheese-addicted office, we think five days in postcard-perfect Grindelwald for a Swiss Christmas sounds the most magical December one could have.
Imagine riding a horse-drawn carriage on Christmas Eve before sitting down for a sumptuous 4-course Christmas dinner! Tell us you don’t have FOMO just picturing that.
Mint payment now added
Shelley Poten, Albatross Tours’ Managing Director says booking festive tours with them is effortless. She commented, “We are making it easier and easier for our agent partners to book and are delighted to now offer Mint as a payment option.”
“The pick of our Christmas tours has to be the Bohemia and Christmas in the Tyrol. This 15-night adventure starts in Frankfurt and includes stays in Rothenburg, Prague, Vienna and Cesky Krumlov, before arriving in our chalet-style hotel for a 5-night stay in Kirchberg for Christmas. Wonderful!”
