Following the outstanding success of their 2011 European Christmas season Albatross Tours have released their new European Christmas and New Year Tours programme for 2012.

With easily the widest range of dedicated European Christmas & New Year Tours on the market there is a tempting choice of destinations with 18 festive tours that range from 7 to 12 days.

Created to take in all that’s best with Europe’s magical festive season, the pace is relaxed with 4, 5 or 7 night stays over Christmas in their specially selected hotels.

Destinations include staying in an 800 year old Coaching Inn deep in the heart of the snow covered mountains of Austria or for a German Fairytale Christmas, staying in the village beneath Neuschwanstein Fairytale Castle.

New for 2012 is the 11 day Christmas in the French Alsace tour visiting Paris and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg before escaping to the mountains of the French Alsace to spend Christmas.
