After a tricky 2020 when many travel plans were thwarted, we are delighted that the arrival of vaccines and a promising new programme for testing means that 2021 will be an excellent time to travel on a Kirker holiday. The Brave New World may take a little time to settle down, but there is no doubt that this year will become a great year for those of us who are keen to catch up on holidays they were unable to take last year. I sense that many of us who took travel opportunities for granted in the past will now relish every journey abroad, every great hotel experience, every delicious dinner, each magical Index museum visit and every sublime opera as an extraordinary privilege to savour. Winter Sunshine 2 Whilst some may be longing for a few days of winter sunshine at the earliest opportunity (see below 3 and overleaf for ideas) – there are others who need a beacon of hope to look forward to in the spring Spring City Breaks or summer, and we have selected the best destinations and our favourite hotels for short breaks from Easter Holidays 4 April onwards – including Easter, summer and autumn. Summer Holidays 5 Remember that Kirker holidays include safe and comfortable private car transfers from the airport River Cruises 6 direct to your hotel, and we can also arrange self-drive itineraries with ferry or Eurotunnel crossings Venice Simplon-Orient-Express 7 (see page 8), Eurostar and rail holidays (including the legendary Venice Simplon-Orient-Express Self-drive Holidays 8 – perfect for a special birthday or anniversary) – see pages 7 and 8 – as well as a range of exclusive private hire accommodation, from private luxury barges to Andalucian ‘casitas’, and lakeside cottages Private Hire 9 in Austria – see page 9 for suggestions.
