Lets talk Xmas!!!!!

OH yes it is that time of year, Halloween is over and everyone is starting to go Christmas mad. Families are busy busy busy planning, buying presents, making lists and getting in the festive spirit.

However if you are having problems getting into the Christmas spirit I have the answer, as a  number of cruise lines including P&O, Fred Oslen, Cruise and Maritime and Cunard offer 2-3 night breaks which would be a perfect way to start the festive season by visiting some of the best European Xmas markets throughout Bruges and Amsterdam. If you are interested in maybe a slightly longer break to enjoy a number of the Famous German Xmas Markets, We also have a number of River cruises to cities such as Cologne, Berlin, Dusseldorf and many more to offer.

What better way to start getting ready for Xmas by strolling down the cobbled streets of Bruges which are alive with festivities, glowing with Christmas lights. Can you see yourself with a nice Baileys hot chocolate on Bruges Market Square close to the many food and festive gift stalls, maybe some ice skating at the purpose built outdoor rink in the centre of Bruges.

Maybe you would enjoy a horse draw carriage ride around the city to take in some of the beautiful frosty scenery.

Or maybe just simply visit one of the 100’s of chocolatiers to stock on huge amount of Christmas Belgium Chocolate! I promise you, that you will leave Bruges well and truly in the Christmas Spirit.

Mini cruises also make great gifts, and also if you haven’t cruised before but have always wanted to these quick getaways are perfect for first time cruisers offering a taste of what you can expect from a longer cruise, including all the amazing onboard of some of the best fleets in the world. Departing from Southampton  there is no flying involved,  making them a great choice for those who would prefer the convenience of no fly short cruise. With a mini cruise, your luxury break away can start from the moment you step foot on the ship, with no outward or return flights to worry about.
