VISION• Be Travellers’ FIRST choice

VALUES1. Deliver what we promise2. Serve customers passionately3. Do what we do, best4. Make work fun5. Care for employees6. Stay as one big family as we grow7. Be a good business partner8. Be socially responsible

PROGRESS AND MILESTONESEU Holidays was founded by a group of experienced directors passionate about their work in the travel industry. They wanted to do something new that could better serve the travel needs of consumers, which is the main driving force behind the establishment of our travel agency.

Within five years of business operations, we have expanded EU Holidays and opened up three other subsidiary offices to focus on the various needs of our customers. The EU MICE office was set up in 2013 to cater for corporate travel with a focus on corporate meetings, conventions and events.

In that same year, EU Asia was launched to cater for customers who are interested in travelling within Asia. In the following year, we opened up EU

Vacations to serve the Malaysian market. In doing so, EU Holidays strives to constantly improve our products and services so that we can better serve our customers.

Despite being a young company, EU Holidays has gained significant recognition from both customers and industry professionals. Founded in late 2010, EU Holidays was voted Top MasterCard Supporter in NATAS Travel for four consecutive years since 2012. Since then, EU Holidays was named the ‘Best Travel Agency for Europe and USA Tours’ as voted by readers of ESCAPE! Magazine.

After just two years in the business, EU Holidays was presented with two valuable awards – the Asia Excellence Award 2013 and the Singapore Excellence Award 2013.

In 2014, we received the Singapore Quality Brands 2014 award and the Weekender Travellers’ Choice Award as No. 1 for Europe and USA tours, as voted by readers. We continued to be awarded for the next three years by Weekender and held our position as the top travel agency in Singapore.

From Tripzillia.sg - Singapore’s No.1 Travel Portal – EU Holidays also acquired excellence awards in “Best for Europe 2015” and “Best for USA 2015”. The coveted award recognises the most outstanding travel companies for their professionalism and experience in the travel industry.

EU Holidays Pte Ltd has recently received the prestigious Singapore Trusted Quality Brand 2015 award from the Singapore Enrich Group.

In addition, the travel agency has gone through the year-long Customer- Centric Initiative (CCI) program and successfully attained the Singapore Service Class certification under the Ministry of Trade and Industry agency, SPRING Singapore. The agency certifies EU Holidays with the niche Business Excellence (BE) standard for service.

Sledging

Sledging is a worldwide winter activity generally carried out in a prone or seated position

on a vehicle generically known as a sledge. Made out of wood, it is carefully crafted, and often comes with a carriage mounted upon runners. It is generally designed to go fast and straight down the hill, hence caution should be practiced when navigating sharp turns and bends.

In the early days, sledging was utilised as a mode of transportation to carry passengers or goods, typically it was used in places where no other vehicles or mode of transportation could venture. In most cases, husky dogs will pull the sledges, and bring their riders to their destination. Today, it is a widely known recreational sport, and brings marvellous fun for everyone including children. Most sledges are handsomely

designed, some even come with canvas seat covers for comfort.

The first ride down a hill on a sledge is the most crucial and most difficult as it determines the path of the sledge for subsequent runs. It is essential to practice safety precautions before you decide to sledge. Always ensure that you wear sensible winter clothing such as hats, gloves and mittens; and protective gears to avoid getting injured. Keep a fair distance among other riders and avoid using your hands to stop the sledge. Be sure to choose a gentle course suitable to your capability or seek advice from an expert.

The thrill of sledding is undeniably satisfying. The adrenaline rush you get once you complete your course will definitely get you addicted to the winter activity.

Swiss FondueT

ake a breather from the frigid wind and frost for the cosy indoors of quaint restaurants for a serving of world renowned Swiss fondue.

Traditionally prepared with high quality shredded cheeses – often, Emmentaler, Gruyère, Comté or a combination of them – over open flames on a chafing stand and served with freshly cut bread or meat cubes carefully speared on long-stemmed fondue forks, the mouthwatering fondue is meant to be enjoyed with a selection of warmed wines and tea. Some recipes demand the inclusion of kirsch – a fruit brandy made from morello cherries, or the host’s specialty mixes of chocolate and other delectable ingredients.

Aside from cheese-oriented pots, variations of the fondue are available in our itineraries. Relish in a dip of fruits in coated with smooth succulent chocolate fondue, or crisp meat pieces, seasoned meatballs and potato cubes in bubbling Bourguignonne fondue pots of specially prepared spiced oil or broth.

Almost exclusively consumed in winter months by locals and highly prized as the country’s national dish, the Swiss cheese fondue is a must-have for any traveller to the land of chocolate and cheese. Do look out for this most savoury platter in the “Delicacies” section of our itineraries.P

not only one of the oldest and top ranking financial centre in the world, but also the political, economic and cultural capital of the United Kingdom. With history stretching back over thousands of years, London perfectly captures the merging of the modern with historic with their iconic attractions and landmarks, among which include four UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Palace of Westminster and Westminster Abbey, the Maritime Greenwich, the Tower of London and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Renowned for its vibrant arts and culture scene, London is home to over 170 museums, including 11 national museums, and 857 art galleries, many of which offer free admission. Whatever your interest in art and history, you can be certain you will find a museum that caters to your taste. Looking for something more eclectic? Just head to the streets – we recommend the Leake Street Tunnel in Waterloo – where you will find all sorts of street art and strike up conversations with the artists there. Admirers of theatre, look no further than London’s best theatre scene in West End, where you can take your pick from the famous classic plays and musicals or brand new works.

Also named ‘the city of fog’, London is famous for its unpredictable weather, where rain and fog is common due to the humid weather. Learn from the locals and bring along a pair of sunglasses and umbrella in your bag, so that you can enjoy the city without the weather putting a damper on your plans. Embrace the wind, rain and fog as they add on a different enigmatic mood to the usual sights of London.

AMSTERDAM

The largest city and capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, is almost like a world of its own. An

exceptionally compact city that houses about 820,000 residents, the narrow streets bordered by an infinite array of gabled houses running along the canals form a relaxing and intimate atmosphere that is reminiscent of its 17th century history. This is a city that is best explored on foot, as most of the sites of interests are located within walking distance, or you may prefer to ride a bike (as the locals do) to places further out. One of Amsterdam’s greatest marvel is their complex canal networks that run through the whole city, which means that a canal cruise is a much better way to enjoy the hidden charms that Amsterdam has to offer, rather than a bus tour.

One of the main highlights of Amsterdam would be its world-class art museums, among them the Rijksmuseum with the famed Rembrandts, the Van Gogh Museum, the Hermitage Amsterdam and the Stedelijk Museum of modern art. The Anne Frank House is also a must-visit – bringing you back in time to the cramped two-room annex where the Frank family hid from the Nazis for two years during World War II.

For the more adventurous soul, you may venture to the notorious Red Light District (locally known as De Wallen) – one of the oldest parts of Amsterdam – reputed for the legal sex and drugs. Stroll through the streets and you will find women sitting in the window parlours to lure business in, as well as a line-up of coffeeshops offering ‘soft’ drugs in the form of cannabis, all perfectly legal. Even if you are not interested in such vices, the Red Light District is also home to other unique and interesting shops and restaurants, as well as the city’s oldest Gothic church, Oude Kerk.

DAY 1 PARIS → BRUSSELS → AMSTERDAMBreakfast, Mussel Lunch with friesHead to Brussels for a orientation tour and stop by the Atomium, an extraordinary structure that presents itself as a relic of the past with a futuristic edge, and the picturesque Royal Palace of Laeken. Next, take a leisure jaunt through the La Grand-Place, a market square featuring architecture of an eclectic blend of Western artistic styles, which would lead you to the renowned Manneken Pis, a small sculpture depicting a naked boy urinating into a water fountain that represents the rebellious spirit of the city of Brussels. Thereafter, spend the rest of the afternoon for some shopping at leisure, but do not forget to pick up some Belgian chocolate as a sinful treat to reward yourself. Cross over to Amsterdam for your overnight stay.

DAY 2AMSTERDAMBreakfast, DinnerStart off with a stop at Zaanse Schans where you will be presented with an idyllic scene of traditional windmills, barns, cottages and museums that is built in typical Dutch wooden architectural style. Watch how cheese and clog shoes

are made in demonstrations by expert craftsmen skilled in these traditional Dutch crafts. After that, enjoy a guided tour of Amsterdam, which includes special highlights such as a cruise though Amsterdam’s famous canals and a trip to a diamond factory. During Keukenhof period, Zaanse Schan will be replace by visit to the Keukenhof. Special program today will be a champagne tasting with lucky draw that allows 1 lucky member to walk away with diamond worth over S$1000.

Nestled amid snow-capped mountains, a placid lake and lush greenery that stretches as far as the eye can see,

Lucerne captures the image of a fairy tale Swiss town. As an ideal starting point for many travellers - the gateway to central Switzerland - the city has attractions that captivate visitors with its modest yet rich offerings of age-old monuments and structures steeped in history.

Old Chapel BridgeThe Old Chapel Bridge plays a crucial role in the city of Lucerne. Connecting the Old Town and a New Town, this structure has been serving its purpose since 1332 - although it was rebuilt after being damaged by a fire. Unlike other bridges, the Old Chapel Bridge exhibits old paintings under its roofs. Interestingly enough, a few burnt panels are still displayed to serve as a reminder of the tragic fire that took place in 1993. During the carnival season, the original pictures will be replaced with the modern ones to reflect the carnival atmosphere. The area also has a Water Tower near the bridge, the former dungeon/archive/treasury vault is now an

The retail store takes the form of an impressive five-storey building in Lucerne, Schwanenplatz. Apart from the main headquarters in Lucerne, 14 other stores are situated in places such as Basel, Geneva, Zurich, etc.

Altstadt (Old Town)Find yourself roaming the streets of Altstadt on a hot afternoon? Why not grab a seat at one of their many street-side cafes and

chug down some sumptuous cold, local beer? Housing the longest strip of bars in the world, Altstadt is known for running 260 establishments consisting of: local breweries, lounges, cocktail bars, electro clubs, etc. In addition to brewing tasty beers, this district is noted for its strong arts and cultural scene. The Filmmuseum Düsseldorf encompasses behind the scene processes of making a film, and showcases everything cinema-related. The city is also notable for producing great music under the roofs of places such as the Deutsche Oper am Rhein (Opera House) and the Tonhalle (Concert Hall). Opulent interiors, high ceilings, and spacious layouts invite guests for a night of unforgettable musical entertainment.

Lion MonumentThe Lion Monument is one of the most popular attractions in Lucerne. It was erected in the 1880s to honour the valour of mercenary soldiers from Central Switzerland. The monument - of a giant dying lion - commemorates Swiss soldiers who sacrificed their lives while serving the French king Louis XVI during the French Revolution. A Latin inscription is also carved into the sandstone wall, like an incantation, it reads: HELVETIORUM FIDEI AC VIRTUTI, which means “To the loyalty and bravery of the Swiss”. Records of the dead, such as their names and death toll, can be found on the memorial. Although the site was once private property, the city of Lucerne bought it, and today the site is accessible without an entrance fee.

Lucerne LakeBesides its intriguing man-made attractions, Lucerne is also known for being home to the fourth largest lake in Switzerland, Lake Lucerne. Called the heart of Switzerland, this lake is cradled by a four cantons: Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden. Flanking either sides of the lake, the mountains are covered in thick forests that support a diverse species of wildlife. Besides enjoying the leisurely cruise along the Lucerne Lake, one can also partake in water sports. Wakeboarding, water-skiing, sailing and a number of exciting activities are provided for thrill-seekers.

Long and exquisite gondolas float leisurely along the myriad of canals that snake through the timeless city

of Venice. Instead of cars or roads, narrow canals act as connecting pathways and small boats/water buses are utilised as a means of transport. Opulently fashioned buildings and historic monuments seem to rise from the depths of Venice, charming travellers from all over with its unique layout.

St. Mark’s SquareAlso known as Piazza San Marco, the square is noted for housing most of Venice’s rich history and architectural wonders. Since most of the city’s sights are concentrated here, it has become a major tourist attraction. Established in the ninth century, it is the largest square in the city and hence is known as piazza - while the other city squares in Venice are referred to as “campi”.

Venice is a unique city that leaves travellers from far and wide spellbound with its historical structures and elegant gondolas floating down long, narrow canals.

Besides being home to popular attractions such as the St. Mark’s Basilica, Doge’s Palace, and many others. Piazza San Marco is also a place where the most important government buildings and other facilities that play a crucial role in the city’s activities are situated.

St. Mark’s BasilicaMost European cities seem to have one or more structures that reflect the decadent era whereby living in excess was both celebrated and revered in the past. One such building that encapsulates the extravagance and indulgence of the early days is the St. Mark’s Basilica. It was modelled after another prominent architectural structure such as the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and commands the same veneration as Istanbul’s iconic attraction. Built in Venetian-Byzantine fashion and fusing Western and Eastern architecture, the St. Mark’s Basilica was nicknamed the

“Church of Gold”, as it was known for its gold mosaics that cover the walls and domes of the church. The variety of artworks displayed inside the church showcase prominent times in history, one such significant event that is recorded on one of the many exquisite mosaics, is the procession of the St. Mark’s relics being moved to the Basilica. Besides being embellished with fascinating mosaics, the site also houses bronze sculptures dating back to the Greco-Roman time and the Tesoro (Treasury), which comprises of an impressive collection of the Crusaders’ plunder from Constantinople.

Doge’s PalaceDoge’s Palace represents Gothic architecture at its finest, while serving as a distinguished landmark in Venice. Steeped in history, the Doge’s Palace has served many purposes in the past, from being the seat of the Venetian government to being the residence of the Doge (chief magistrate of Venice or Genoa). Today, the Doge’s Palace is a museum and exhibits paintings that were exclusively created to embellish the Doge’s Palace. The main entrance of the palace, the Porta della Carta, links the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s Basilica. Filled with intricate ornamental carvings, the figures above the entrance - Doge Francesco Foscari kneeling before the Lion of St. Mark - symbolises the power of the state. Another notable feature of the Doge’s Palace is the Scala dei Giganti - Staircase of the Giants - which leads up to the State Apartments on the upper floor - it is flanked on either sides by two large statues of Mars and Neptune. This place played a crucial role in history, as this was the very location where the coronation of newly elected rulers of Venice took place.

Bridge of SighsThe famed Bridge of Sighs is another attraction that is a must-see for anyone visiting Venice. The main purpose of the bridge was to connect the old prison and the interrogation rooms in the basement of the Doge’s Palace to the new one located directly across the river. There are various theories as to how the bridge got its name, one theory states that prisoners would sigh as they crossed the bridge, probably because it was the last time they got to see the outside world before they were imprisoned. The beautiful arch stretching high above the canal and the delicate carvings that decorate the bridge coupled with a romantic view provides an unforgettable Venetian experience.

A myriad of colours greet you at your first sight of Cinque Terre, a glorious cluster of villages precariously perched atop rocky cliffs overlooking the Liguran Sea. Made up of namely five villages –

Manarola, Riomaggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso al Mare, and together with the surrounding hillside and coastline, they are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997.

Cinque Terre was carefully built upon terraces on the steep rugged cliffs over centuries, and due to its isolated location, the people’s main source of income came from fishing. If you ever wondered about the colourful buildings… well the reason behind that was so that the fishermen working at sea could identify their houses easily and check on their family. Before the advent of tourism in the 19th century which breathed life back into the area, Cinque Terre was actually declining into poverty due to increasing emigration of its people.

This utopian town is undoubtedly the best place to escape from the hurried, fast-paced city life for a few days of quiet and relaxation. Cinque Terre remains a favourite destination for both locals and tourists alike, offering a soothing, laid back atmosphere that remains relatively unmarred by modernization and development. Even with the tourist hike to the area, the locals have chosen to limit vehicular access into Cinque Terre, but the five villages remain well-connected via footpaths, trains and boats. So take a gander along the traffic-free streets, stop by to make conversation with the charming locals or head near the sea for a breath of fresh, salty air – and embrace the lazy way of life.

Cinque TerreDiscover the rugged beauty of the quaint villages perched on cliffs overlooking the Ligurian sea.
