Travel Dream - Winter 2018/19

Welcome... Issue 11 Welcome to the latest issue of our regular travel magazine where we hope to entice you with a varied selection of worldwide holiday ideas and destinations. This issue also coincides with our move to new premises at 2A High Street, Bramley, on Monday, 26th November 2018. This edition of our magazine focuses on a number of popular types of holidays including cruising, fly-drive and safari. The choice of holidays afloat is huge and set to continue as the cruise companies take delivery of more, new ships ranging from grand ocean liners and super yachts to sleek, shallow-draft river cruisers. These floating hotels have redefined hospitality on the water. ‘Round the world’ with the leading luxury cruise ships and a review of non- European river cruises are covered in this edition as well as a piece on island hopping yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands with a more affordable yacht-share option. If you could go on safari in Africa just once, then you would want to see it all; the ‘Big 5’ AND Mountain gorillas. Tauck does just that on a true ‘bucket list’ escorted tour to East Africa. For those that seek a more independent approach our review of self- drive holidays in Namibia is a must read. Continuing on the theme of motor touring this issue begins with a two-centre recommendation in timeless Tuscany. Malta has had a colourful history through the ages, but today it is an island nation which retains a warm affection for visitors from the UK. It is certainly a great place to escape to with an excellent year-round climate and many excellent hotels and resorts. Whether you are looking for a beach getaway, a city break, an adventure or just news on some of the world’s finest hotels and resorts we are sure that this issue will inspire you. So sit back, have a read, then give us a call to discuss your travel plans.
