DELRAY BEACH, FL, April 25, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Insight Vacations has announced the launch of its 2014/15 Autumn, Winter & Spring Europe Collection , including the Eastern Mediterranean and Christmas Markets brochure. The new program includes 34 itineraries featuring a host of Signature inclusions including hotels, dining and experiences while providing incredible value to guests traveling during the low season.
"We received incredibly positive feedback regarding our Signature inclusions after introducing them last year, so we are very excited to be adding them to our European winter program," said Phil Cappelli, President of Insight Vacations. "This means our guests can look forward to staying in the most distinctive hotels, enjoying authentic experiences with passionate characters such as local farmers and artists, and tasting the local specialties and produce of each region they visit."
The program features hotel upgrades in Prague, Mainz, Seville, Madrid, Lisbon and Casablanca. Signature properties include: the luxurious Hilton Molino Stucky Venice , offering uninterrupted views of the lagoon; the unique Art Nouveau Palace Hotel in Budapest, embodying elegant Viennese façades; and the superbly located Meliá Castilla , Madrid, located just minutes from Paseo de la Castellana.
"Our Signature Experiences have been bought to the forefront in the popular Christmas market itineraries," said Cappelli. "This year, our guests won't just be visiting some of the best markets in Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland - they will have the chance to meet a market stall holder in Dresden and learn about Glühwein and Stollen bread . Other Signature Experiences include a paella cooking demonstration in Valencia with a master chef and a visit to a strudel house in Budapest to learn the art of making the Hungarian delicacy.
"Combined with the cooler, more comfortable temperature and fewer crowds, the guest experience during winter is supreme," said Cappelli. "Another benefit is that our winter program costs up to 30 percent less than our summer offerings."
Insight Vacations is offering guests an Early Payment Discount of up to $1,073* per couple on selected 2014/15 Winter Europe tours when they book and pay in full by July 17, 2014.
