The Globus family of brands has expertly designed and unveiled more than 30 “low season” vacations, including two NEW itineraries with Globus and Monograms, offering Americans a plethora of opportunities to travel abroad at unbeatable prices this fall, winter and next spring.

In addition to its already robust selection of holiday tours and cruises and winter vacation packages across Europe, Globus is introducing a NEW, nine-day Christmas in Paris & New Year’s Eve in London itinerary, priced from $1,599. And, capitalizing on America’s interest in Ireland, Monograms is providing travelers a NEW four-day Dublin Getaway, priced from $517.

“Winter is a great time for Americans to make European travel dreams come true,” said Steve Born, vice president of marketing for the Globus family of brands. “They can take a vacation at a reduced price, while avoiding the crowds that converge during the summer travel months.”

From holiday cruises on the Main and Danube rivers to tours across Europe ranging from seven to 29 days as well as 10 independent vacation packages, the Globus family of brands’ “European Winter Vacations” offer unparalleled savings to fit any travel style.

“Not only are we giving travelers a large selection of tours, cruises and independent vacations from which to choose a phenomenal European vacation,” said Born. “We are offering them savings of up to 40 percent on air and 15 percent on land, compared to peak season pricing.”

Even more chances to save are available for those who plan ahead and book early: Travelers can save $200 per couple on Globus family of brands’ 2010/11 European Winter vacations when booking air-inclusive with Alitalia by July 27, 2010.* Sample fares start as low as $415/person.

There are many castles scattered across the lands of England, but none can seem to match the beauty behind the Leeds Castle. This is one castle that has maintained all its beauty since 1119, when it was built by Robert de Crevecoeur.

Many people travel to the Leeds Castle each and every year to get a feel of the beauty that we’ve all seen and heard of over the years. This is one castle that has been very popular for use in films and television, including the very popular show, Antique Roadshow which recorded two episodes back in July 2008 on the Croquet Lawn of the castle.

Tourists have the ability to access the grounds of the Leeds Castle. It has become a leisure destination for many with the vast amount of things to do. The castle grounds have not only a maze, but also has an aviary, a grotto, a golf course and the world’s only dog collar museum.

Now conferences can be held at the Leeds Castle and each year there is seasonal hot air balloon flights for travelers held. The Leeds Castle still holds all its beauty and historic sights, but really does cater perfectly to the tourist economy. Adventuring through the Leeds Castle is a must if you are traveling to England and surrounding areas, you’ll love every minute of it.

Behind the walls of York, along with a flourishing town, are 2,000 years of Roman, Viking and Medieval heritage.  Known as "an archaeologists delight," the treasure trove of York began as a massive fortress housing 5,600 Roman soldiers.  A thousand years ago, Vikings scaled the Roman walls and built enormous oak structures.  During the reign of Richard III, new churches, shops and houses lined the paved lanes.  Today, the bulk of the town's history of soil and construction, but unearthed fragments and fascinating recreations offer a window to a long and picturesque history.
