NEW SHOP

Our Travel Village Group HQ has been going through some big changes over the last couple of months. Based in Blackpool for nearly 60 years, we've been growing our business and expanding our portfolio, so that we can continue to offer you the very best choice in travel destinations and an award-winning customer service, and we've been bursting at the seams! Phil (MD) says, "We all have dreams! No matter how big or how small they may be, they are precious to us and in many cases the motivation to create something special. Something that when shared with passion and enthusiasm becomes the catalyst for something that family, friends, colleagues and customers can benefit from." "This has always been my dream and finally after 6 months of building work, two have become one! 296/298 Highfield Road is now the home of the Travel Village." "Our new retail store completes the portfolio of "Village" businesses for the Travel Village Group with the parent brands, The Cruise Village, The Holiday Village & coming later, the Ski Village." "Thank you for your continued support, without it, I wouldn't have been able to make this dream a reality." Feel free to come down to our freshly styled shop on Highfield Road, Blackpool and see what we can do for your travel plans.

THE TAILORMADE HOLIDAY SERVICE FROM THE CRUISE VILLAGE

The other great thing about our CRUISE+ packages is that they're all ATOL bonded. We're a trusted member of ABTA, so you can be assured that you’re 100% financially protected when you book one of our tailormade cruise holidays.

15-night Canadian Rockies & All Inclusive Alaska Did someone say roadtrip?! Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime as you set forth into the wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. Our suggested route is to start at the picturesque town of Banff, your gateway to the National Park, fantastic hiking trails into the mountains, and stunning Lake Louise. Your onward journey to Vancouver should be a leisurely one, after all this is a holiday! So we've suggested two stays along the way in the mountain resorts of Revelstoke and Kamloops, both well known for their idyllic settings and activity options on offer. In Vancouver you're still in touching distance of the Great Outdoors, yet you can immerse yourself in the arts, shopping and the urban scenes of the city. Then it's time to relax, but not too much! Luxurious ship Celebrity Eclipse will be your refuge from a day exploring ashore in the coastal towns and cities of Alaska, such as Icy Strait Point, Juneau and Ketchikan. Enjoy scenic cruising around the Hubbard Glacier - the largest calving glacier on the North American continent, and known to calve off icebergs as high as 10-story buildings! Onboard you'll discover a feast of sensory experiences, from imaginative dining to indulgent spa treatments. Keep an eye out for the wildlife ashore and soak in the vista from the decks of your floating resort.

Includes:

• 3-night 4* Banff hotel stay (RO) • 1-night 4* Revelstoke hotel stay (BB) • 1-night 4* Kamloops hotel stay (BB) • 2-night 4* Vancouver hotel stay (RO) • 7-night cruise onboard Celebrity Eclipse (FB) • Return flights from the UK • Car hire from Calgary to Vancouver • Ship to airport transfer  Book by 2nd July to receive: • Free Classic Drinks Package for two, worth up to £1,400* • An unlimited Wi-Fi package for two, worth up to £460* • A free Soft Drinks Package and unlimited Wi-Fi for additional guests within the same stateroom, worth up to £456pp*

Discover the Dalmatian Coast with

Imagine yourself reclining under a deep azure sky, as the polished teak deck moves almost imperceptibly with the rhythm of the Mediterranean and a refreshing evening breeze ruffles the air. In the small, picturesque ports on the Dalmatian coast, surrounded by low cliffs, where the cruise liners boasting ever-larger passenger numbers are conspicuous by their absence, you are cruising the Mediterranean aboard your very own yacht-cruiser. Normally the preserve of the wealthy, you can now experience a magnificent vessel carrying just thirtyeight guests. Smaller numbers means a more personal service, but even more importantly you call at stunningly attractive out of the way ports like Split, Makarska and Hvar, which offer a much more intimate onshore experience.

What's Included... • • • • •

Return flights from the UK 7-night cruise onboard 4-star MS Adriatic Sun or MV Corona Daily breakfast, five lunches, one dinner plus "Captain's Dinner" 6 tours & visits plus swim stops, including • Tour of Dubrovnik, Pearl of the Adriatic • Tour of Split and Emperor Diocletian's monumental palace, one of the greatest structures of the Roman Empire • Explore the stunningly beautiful islands of Hvar and Mljet • Guided tour of Korcula, one of Adriatic's most perfectly preserved medieval ports, where Marco Polo was born Services of Riviera Travel's experienced Tour Manager

Enjoy a seven night cruise on the four-star MV Corona or MS Adriatic Sun cruising along the Dalmatian coast, one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes, studded with beautifully preserved and atmospheric Venetian influenced medieval towns and some of Europe’s clearest waters.

Sail between smaller islands and ports, allowing spectacular coastal views normally inaccessible to larger cruise liners. Your Itinerary Day Day Day Day Day Day Day Day

RIVER CRUISING JUST GOT A MODERN MAKEOVER U by Uniworld is the first river cruise line dedicated to the next generation of travellers seeking immersive experiences along the world’s most popular rivers.

WHAT MAKES U DIFFERENT? Each ground-breaking U ship has a rooftop bar, relaxing spa, mixologists, on-board DJs, contemporary lounges and a restaurant serving mouth-water­ing delights. Cabins all have river views or balconies, built-in Bluetooth speakers and Savior® beds. Off the ship, guests can connect with local people, experience the buzz of European cities and discover their vibrant nightlife.

ROOFTOP LOUNGIN’ Grab a drink and meet friends on the top deck, where the glass enclosed room disappears into the floor to create an open-air hangout. It’s the best view in the house and the spot to meet new friends or listen to a local guest DJ. With a casual dining venue and lounge seating, it’s the place to be.

DELICIOUS DINING The A and The B feature a fullservice restaurant and a lite-menu in the lounge for dining — serving farm-to-table cuisine inspired by the culinary style of the places you’ll visit. Nom nom.

27 Ports of Call, 6 Countries, 4 Rivers Life’s too short to stay in one place, which is why these floating boutique hotels have a motor to take you to some of the most incredible share-worthy destinations in Europe, all on one trip. Can we interest you in a romantic Parisian getaway? Or how about a foodie-inspired, nightlife-filled escapade in The Netherlands and Germany? U cruises check off all the boxes: cosmopolitan, rustic, modern, historic, adventurous, glamorous, laid-back, majestic, authentic, inspiring. It’s just how travel should be.

THE SEINE EXPERIENCE PARIS-PARIS 8 DAYS from £1469pp
