The Definitive New Guide to Long Haul Travel with Children from the Experts at Turquoise Holidays - all family bookings receive £50 Sunuva voucher

Ten years of arranging top notch holidays and honeymoons means only one thing - the patter of tiny feet and the launch of Turquoise Holidays' definitive family holiday brochure covering Australasia, The South Pacific, Africa and the Middle East, the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean.

Already known for their expertise in luxury travel with a difference ranging from private islands and jungle adventures to safari, city and sailing, the team at Turquoise has used their experience and knowledge of resorts and destinations across the globe to create the ultimate and most comprehensive collection of bespoke long haul family holidays available through any UK long haul specialist. 

The new Turquoise Holidays family brochure is crammed with top tips and personal experiences from the team of consultants - almost all of whom are well travelled parents themselves - along with a wide range of family friendly hotels and resorts, islands, tours and safari lodges, with itineraries and suggestions to match.  Whether travelling with young babies or troublesome toddlers, active eight years olds, terrible teens, as a single parent or accompanied by granny and grandpa - or as is sometimes the case a mixture of all, Turquoise has the answer, with attention to detail paramount throughout.  

James Bell, Director of Marketing at Turquoise comments, "Having morphed unexpectedly into highly successful honeymoon specialists since our launch ten years ago, we have now found ourselves growing organically into family specialists - perhaps unsurprisingly given the natural developments that occur after marriage - and the Turquoise experience has developed accordingly.  I hear for myself at my kids' school gates how parents dread going on holiday with their children or agonise over their annual holiday only to end up making unimaginative, disappointing choices - whereas in fact there should be nothing more rewarding than travelling the world with your children.  There can be few things more uplifting than watching your iPad-addicted five year almost exploding with excitement as he or she learns to snorkel on a coral reef, or catching sight of animals that they have read about in story books out in the wilds of Africa. "

The brochure features recommendations from its classic best sellers such as the Maldives, St Lucia and Thailand, to Vietnam, Oman, Borneo and Tanzania - many that are often overlooked by families but can be the perfect choice if booked at the right time and when the right resort is chosen. Also included is Turquoise's handpicked selection of family-friendly private islands and beach houses many of which are not available through any other operator.  

Top tips for families include details as to the best family destinations throughout the year be it peak summer holiday season, winter sun at Christmas or half term, to those with babies and toddlers who are not beholden to school holiday dates. Turquoise makes informed recommendations about when and where to go to secure the best deals, such as choosing destinations slightly out of peak season to get better rates and a more child-friendly climate, to resorts with imaginative kids clubs, spas for children, and malaria-free lodges. Parents will appreciate logistical tips about best seats to book on a flight and even how to keep all ages entertained when up in the air. 

James continues, "As parents ourselves we know how important our family holiday time is to us, and the potential pitfalls of travelling with children.  We want to share our knowledge and experience as to where to go but also how to do it in style, and in family harmony. Today's parents have never had to work so hard with Mum and Dad juggling so many balls that by the time the holiday comes they are both exhausted. One of the most important considerations when booking a family holiday is ensuring that everyone is kept happy without trying to fit so much in that it stops being a holiday."

As with all Turquoise's holidays, authenticity of accommodation, exemplary service and memorable experiences are assured.

All family holiday bookings receive a £50 voucher for stylish children's range of UV beachwear and swimwear, Sunuva.
