3 TIME OFF

It can sometimes be hard to decide where to go on holiday, so
we’re here to help. Look no further as we’ve got the top three
great options for you for a springtime getaway.

The City of Love
A trip to the romantic city of Paris could be just what you need if
you’re after a couples’ getaway. On our website, you can find
accommodation on a full-board basis in some of the hotels’ hidden
gems – small, family-run hotels hidden away on side streets which
will serve you up the best French cuisine for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. You can have a romantic stroll along the banks of the Seine,
and did you know that the whole area is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site thanks to its medieval buildings and beautiful bridges? Take a
boat trip to enjoy the landscape of the river.

Sea, Food and History
If you’re after a long voyage, why not join one of our cruises around
the Mediterranean? With round trips starting from Barcelona, you
can sample the Mediterranean diet in all its glory: Spanish, French,
Italian, Greek – we’ll give you a taste of it all! There are optional
excursions from each port as well, so you can see the main historical
monuments of each place on the trip. Or, if you’re in the mood to
relax, lie back and soak up the sun on the deck, enjoy a dip in one
of the ship’s three swimming pools or watch a new release in the
onboard cinema.

Magic around the Capital

But, if package tours aren’t your thing, and you’d prefer self-catering
accommodation, check out the range of apartments we have on
offer in Lisbon. Stop off at a café for a quick espresso before a trip
to the market to pick up some delicious fresh produce to prepare
at home, giving you the opportunity to soak up the real Portuguese
lifestyle. And no trip to Lisbon would be complete without a visit to

Sintra, just a forty-minute drive from the city, where you can wander
