One of the company's most popular tours is Christmas in Verona & Lake Garda (now £963pp, saving £233pp), a relaxing six-day short break that includes a cruise across Lake Garda and guided tour of Verona, which is beautifully lit for the season.

A three-night break to Berlin's Christmas Markets (now £570pp, saving £189pp) starts with a guided bus tour of the city, with guests then given plenty of time to explore a whole host of markets and savour the aromas of gluhwein, almonds and sweet Christmas biscuits as they search for gifts and seasonal specialities, and enjoy the excitement of fairground rides, ice-rinks and even a ski slope at Potsdamer Platz.

For those after something closer to home, Edinburgh Christmas Market (now £322pp, saving £107pp) is a three-night break that includes an escorted city tour, and the centre is transformed with colourful festive markets, a Traditional Highland Village in Princes Street Gardens, and an authentic German Market.
