In its days as a part of the former Yugoslavia, this was one of Europe’s most visited and best loved holiday destinations. Now, as a proudly democratic and fiercely proud country, Croatia once more welcomes visitors to its sun-kissed shores. Croatia - 'land of a thousand islands' - is a land of beautiful coastlines and bustling ports, whose history spans the centuries. At its most southerly point lies our holiday base, Dubrovnik - the 'Pearl of the Adriatic', a medieval city whose mighty walls encircle the ancient buildings within.

Poland is a fascinating country; a land of contrasts whose rich tapestry is interwoven by equal periods of greatness and great tragedy, and a country whose bond with Britain has always been strong. Our base is the historic city of Krakow, where the medieval centre has been painstakingly restored and is now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its fine architecture. You’ll find it a friendly city, with lots to explore - including Wawel Castle and the majestic Cloth Hall, open squares and charming alleys. On our sightseeing excursions you’ll take-in an emotive visit to the former concentration camp of Auschwitz, explore the fascinating salt mines of Wielicka, and discover the unspoilt scenery of the Tatras Mountains.

The Isle of Man is the pearl in the Irish Sea - a wonderfully different holiday destination, yet easily reached by air. A unique British  Crown Dependency, with its own government, stamps and currency,it enjoys a temperate climate where palm trees flourish, and an unspoilt coastline and a mountainous interior. It’s a delight to explore the island by public transport, which includes a vintage scenic 19th century tramway and a steam railway which uses its original locomotives, over 100 years old. We include a free 5-day Explorer Ticket, so that you can discover the charms of the island at your leisure from your hotel, with all the resort’s attractions close at hand.
