Winter holiday FAQs
When should I book a winter holiday?
As early as possible. December school holidays and Christmas week sell out fast, and visa appointments get busy in November.
Do I need a visa?
Most passports need a Schengen visa for France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Norway. Russia offers an e-visa for many nationalities, and Georgia is visa-free for many UAE residents. Send us your nationality and we confirm what you need.
Can you add school holiday dates?
Yes. Tell us your dates and number of travellers and we tailor any of these holidays for you.
