At the port At the port, our trained interchange team takes your luggage from the feeder coach to the main tour coach whilst you freshen up in one of the terminal refreshment areas. This normally takes about half an hour, then you board your tour coach, which drives onto the ferry. If your Channel crossing is via Eurotunnel, unfortunately, due to security operational regulations, we are unable to transfer your luggage.
Crossing the Channel For all continental holidays we use the short sea crossings from Dover to Calais or Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais. Our reservations staff can advise you

We found the holiday a marvellous backdrop to our blossoming romance. All nine days were brilliant but I must single out St. Paul de Vence – all the cobbled streets there are surrounded by high walls. No wonder it’s an artist’s colony because the lighting, just like Venice, is extraordinary. We loved Portofino and Monaco another highlight – and as for Santa Margherita, I could wax lyrical about that place forever.

Great atmosphere Our drivers also helped make our holiday – a couple of natural comedians, they should be on stage! The unbelievable all inclusive on our holiday was very good. The owners and staff at our hotel, the Della Mimose, were also very accommodating and helpful. I was unwell a few evenings and they served dinner in my room without being asked. Time just flys... I have never travelled on Silver Service until last year, and the comfort and company must be experienced to be fully appreciated – the hours just rolled by.

June Tandy’s decision to take a Leger singles holiday to Sorrento and the Neapolitan Riviera was made all the more easier because of the many places she visited during the course of the tour.
Our overnight stays were always very nice with good facilities and friendly staff. On our journey we saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa along with all the other magnificent buildings in the area. Our six night stay was in the Hotel Mary in Vico Equense overlooking the Bay of Naples where the staff were welcoming and helpful. I watched the sun setting over the Bay from my balcony and it was breathtaking. So many sights...
tour, so much to see – the Coliseum, Spanish Steps, the Trevi Fountain and the awesome Vatican with all its associated treasures. All of this and always with the support of our drivers and local guides. On our journey home we were treated to the spectacular vista of the snowcapped Dolomites.
