Holidays at homeWith so many big ticket, bucket list destinations tempting you to travel overseas, it’s easy to forget how many holiday options are on offer much closer to home.

Whether it’s a weekend on the Gold Coast, a week in Broome or trying a cruise holiday for the first time, our travel consultants can track down the best value deal for you – and take care of all the little details so you don’t have to.

Experiencing a well-known city in a different way is something we love to help our customers do – imagine waking up in Circular Quay and seeing the morning sun shining down on a cruise ship waiting for you in Sydney Harbour.

Or if you just feel like getting away, but are not sure where to go, why not try our ever popular Mystery Escapes? The surprise just adds to the excitement!

top quality cuisine and rejuvenating day spas as well as the only island-based championship golf course in Australia.

Just off shore you will discover one of the seven natural wonders of the world – The Great Barrier Reef – the world’s largest coral reef system. It’s so big it can be seen from space, but you need only hop on a day trip from Hamilton Island to see it in all its glory. Explore an incredible underwater world teeming with tropical fish.

Or embark on a watery adventure of a different kind on a cruise to Tasmania. Tucked away at the far south of Australia, across the Bass Strait, Tasmania is rich with heritage and history and overflowing with spectacular natural scenery and gourmet food and wine.

See the magnificent lakes, waterfalls and rainforests of World Heritage-listed Cradle Mountain–lake St Clair National Park, the stunning Bay of Fires, Freycinet National Park or picturesque Wineglass Bay, before stepping back in time with a visit to Historic Port Arthur.

Although best known for its national parks, Tasmania also has a world-class gallery – The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), just outside of Hobart.

Awe-inspiring scenery, vibrant culture, delicious cuisine and smiling faces have made the South Sea Islands a favourite holiday destination for centuries and there’s something about tropical islands that just screams ‘holiday’.

With a range of cruises departing right from our shores, there’s no excuse not to set sail on a South Pacific cruise. Find yourself enjoying a myriad of onboard activities and a range of shore excursions that offer a little slice of paradise in dream destinations and an insight into Polynesian culture. With so much included in the price, cruising offers great value for money.

South Africa * simply stunningFROM WILDLIFE TO CITY LIFE, SOUTH AFRICA OFFERS A WORLD OF ADVENTURES COMBINED WITH AN ASTONISHING DIVERSITY OF CULTURES AND LANDSCAPES.

But for many a trip to South Africa would not be complete without that once-in-a-lifetime experience – a safari at one of the country’s many other game reserves.

On game drives, you can spot countless animals and birds thriving in their natural habitat while searching for the elusive ‘Big Five’ – leopard, lion, rhino, elephant and buffalo.

You’ll also be amazed by stealthy cheetahs, flighty zebra, herds of wildebeest and giraffes munching on flat-topped acacia trees – it really is a photographer’s dream destination.

First-class bush lodges add to the authenticity of your safari experience and offer a little luxury at the end of each exciting day.

A thrilling and unforgettable destination, South Africa easily lives up to your every expectation.

It boasts a stunning coastline with amazing surf, a diverse hinterland with sweeping mountain ranges and idyllic wine growing regions as well as vibrant cities and vast wildlife-filled savannahs.

Cape Town is a colonial gem nestled at the foot of iconic Table Mountain. It is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, combining a vibrant cultural scene with gorgeous beaches, a bustling waterfront and lush vineyards.

An exciting metropolis, Johannesburg, the ‘City of Gold’, is South Africa’s largest city and the perfect place to uncover its complex history and culture.

Family EscapesI can’t wait to take my children to Europe. It will be wonderful to experience all the amazing cities in a whole new way and completely differently to how I did in my fearless backpacking days.

Revisiting old favourites like London, Paris, and Rome and seeing them through the eyes of my children will be incredible.

Whether you choose to travel on your own or on a guided tour, such as those on offer with Trafalgar, now is the perfect time to consider booking a European holiday for your family.

Many airlines are releasing Earlybird airfares as well as exclusive children’s prices available only at Escape Travel in September.

Let one of our friendly travel consultants help you plan and book the perfect holiday to create some unforgettable new memories for you and your family.

Q&A Paris

Best cheap eat Wander the laneways of Paris to find ‘set menu’ blackboards offering excellent 2-course meals with wine for approximately €15 per person. For kids, the street-side crepe stands offer excellent Nutella-filled crepes for just €1–€2.

Best place to stay Apartments are excellent for families as they are spacious and provide cooking facilities. My pick is the Citadines Place d’Italie because it’s close to the Latin Quarter’s magnificent restaurants, art galleries and shopping.

Best site to see The Louvre museum has something for everyone including fantastic sculptures and paintings – there’s a lot to see and you really need a full day.

Best way to get around The Metro, on a Paris Visite card. The trains are fast, frequent and will get you anywhere in the central ring of Paris in under 20 minutes.

with your familyEurope is also home to any number of tasty cuisines. The whole family will love munching on fish and chips in London, pizza and pasta in Rome or paella in Spain and you might even tempt the kids to try something more daring, like frogs legs in Paris!

Europe’s best loved capital cities are filled with iconic sites, like the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Add to this some of the world’s best art galleries, like the Louvre in Paris and the Tate and Tate Modern in London and your culture quota is covered.

But there’s no need to worry that with all the culture on offer the kids will get bored. There are plenty of fun-filled things for them too.

London offers more affordable family-friendly attractions than just about any other international destination. As well as being home to four World Heritage

They say that travel broadens the mind, so take your children on a culture-filled journey to Europe. It’s a truly magical region where history, geography and even foreign languages can be seen in a whole new light.

History really comes alive when you find yourself standing in the Colosseum in Rome pretending to be a gladiator or walking the battlements of the Tower of London. Europe has literally hundreds of years of history just waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

If you choose to tour around Europe, your children will enjoy the constantly changing landscape. Plan your journey on a globe or map before you leave and then as you travel they can track their progress on the map while geography takes on a whole new meaning.

Teach the kids a few keys phrases in the local languages of the countries you visit and see the faces of the local people light up as they try to communicate with them. Your children’s confidence will grow with practice and it will make their school language lessons seem so much more meaningful and worthwhile.

The kids will love the novelty of Venice, where canals are more common than roads, be amazed at how The Leaning Tower of Pisa stays standing and more as you explore the delights of Northern Italy together.

Touring Spain during the winter months means that popular sights are far less crowded and temperatures are milder, so you and your family can enjoy it all without the hustle and bustle and searing heat.

From grand palaces and fiery flamenco dancers to bull rings and stunning Gaudi architecture, Spain has plenty to offer.

ISLAND GETAWAYS

The magical island of Tanna offers an authentic Vanuatu adventure, providing a rare opportunity to walk the rim of an active volcano, Mount Yasur. Stay in delightful oceanview bures, just a few steps from the beach and offering days of fun and relaxation in the sun.

Espiritu Santo is also hard to resist, with its lush rainforest, one of the South Pacific’s finest beaches and spectacular dive sites. It is a true island hideaway and the atmosphere is one of a secluded escape from the real world, perfect for a peaceful family holiday.

Of the 83 tropical islands that make up Vanuatu, tourists mostly visit the main three: Efate, Tanna and Espiritu Santo.

Efate is best known for its stylish hub Port Vila. Alive with restaurants and resorts, it also has its fair share of natural wonders, such as hot mineral springs, cascading waterfalls, pristine rainforest and deserted beaches.

Resorts on the island feature plenty of family friendly activities as well as tennis, golf and watersports, such as kayaking, sailing and windsurfing.

Revel in the natural beauty and tranquil tropical ambience of Vanuatu, which remains relatively untouched, despite being one of our favourite holiday destinations in the South Pacific.
