DELRAY BEACH, FL, April 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Insight Vacations has announced the launch of its 2013/14 Winter Europe including the Eastern Mediterranean and Christmas Markets brochure featuring 35 premium autumn, winter and spring escorted journeys. Visit Europe from November to April and SAVE UP TO 24% OFF summer prices. New to the collection is the 10-day Alpine Christmas Markets itinerary which travels through the winter landscapes of Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland.
With departures commencing in November 2013 and running until April 2014, the new program provides travelers with a comprehensive range of hassle-free holiday options, taking guests to some of the best destinations in Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, the Alps and Central Europe, Morocco, Greece, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey and Israel.

enjoying these premium hotels, guests can enjoy new itinerary
additions including wine tastings and cookery demonstrations that
have been designed to allow guests to delve further into the
region's culinary traditions.
The Alpine Christmas Markets tour has been designed to
showcase Europe at its festive best, highlights sipping spiced hot
glühwein while on a horse and carriage ride through
Germany's Black Forest, strolling through old town squares lit up
with festive lights, and a visit to France's Strasbourg Christmas
Markets which dates back to 1570.
