Unique escorted touring experiences designed exclusively for Australians & New Zealanders

Christmas in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Slovenia, Italy, Czech Republic.  New Year in Italy, Switzerland, Bavaria, London & Paris.

Albatross Tours offers the widest range of dedicated European Christmas & New Year Tours with  a tempting choice of destinations and 19 festive tours that range from 7 to 16 days.

Created to take in all that's best with Europe's magical festive season, the pace is relaxed with 3, 4, 5 or 7 night stays over Christmas in specially selected hotels. The programmes are very inclusive with no additional ‘on tour’ costs  – even your end of tour tips are included.

Destinations include staying in an 800-year-old Coaching Inn deep in the heart of the snow covered mountains of Austria or for a German Fairytale Christmas, staying in the village beneath Neuschwanstein Fairytale Castle.

Itineraries usually start with in-depth visits to the major historical cities and then, as Christmas approaches, escapes to the snow-covered mountains, medieval castles and villages to stay in nostalgic, specially selected hotels. Albatross has taken particular care to include special events and activities in each itinerary that will bring alive the nostalgia, joy and romance of the Festive Season. Enjoy snow-bound sleigh rides, Christmas markets, medieval castles, quaint towns, special Christmas dinners and mulled wine with ginger biscuits!

Classic 10 and 11 day escorted tours include Austrian White Christmas, German Fairytale Christmas, Christmas in the Slovenian Alps and Christmas in a Swiss Spa Resort. Albatross also offers Christmas in a romantic castle plus a range of 'stay put' tours where you stay seven nights in a charming, first class Gasthof style hotel. Additionally there are six different New Year tours including that old favourite – New Year in Paris!
