Leading premium and luxury escorted journey operator Insight Vacations is introducing new destinations – Moldova, San Marino and Andorra – in to its Europe programme for 2014, meaning it has more of Europe covered than any other operator.
The 2014 programme boasts thirteen breathtaking new itineraries, taking guests to more countries than ever before. With the new destinations, Insight Vacations now travels to every country in geographical Europe except Kosovo, confirming it as the Europe experts. The 2014 Europe, Eastern Mediterranean & Morocco programme also features an expansion of the Country Roads style of touring and a plethora of new Signature hotels, dining and experiences.
The new 11-day Ukraine, Moldova and Crimea itinerary takes guests to Moldova, while the 14-day Principalities of Europe introduces San Marino and Andorra to the countries that Insight visits.
Other new itineraries include more independent breaks such as two Greek island hopping holidays and some mini trips, including the 5-day Golden Ring, or the 4-day WW1 Battlefields launching on the eve of the anniversary year of the start of the First World War. The Country Roads programme, which offers guests a more in-depth experience of a country as it travels away from the major cities and off the beaten track, has been expanded to include the Country Roads of Croatia, the Country Roads of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, and French Elegance – A Country Roads Itinerary. These new itineraries enhance the existing Insight programme, which includes over 100 unusual gems and best sellers such as Treasures of the Balkans, Northern Spain, Italian Vogue, Natural Wonders of Iceland, Turkish Delights and Russia, Warsaw and the Baltic States to name just a few.
John Boulding, CEO of Insight Vacations said: “Insight Vacations’ geographical coverage is huge. For anyone trying to count, we visit 45 countries so we can say with more certainty than ever before that we’ll take you to where you want to go.”
“In addition, we’ve added a truly amazing array of inspirational and engaging experiences that will add an authentic dimension to all of our itineraries and ensure our guest experience is unparalleled. We know that it’s authentic local experiences that can turn any given day on tour into a highlight. Signature experiences have been designed to capture the imagination of our guests whether they are watching sheepdog training in the Scottish highlands, olive oil tasting in Provence, learning about the workings of an organic farm or visiting glassblowers, artisans, clog makers or stone masons to watch them at work and get an insight into their lives.”
