🌍 THE ADVENTURES ARE STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE… ✨

We’ve teased it… and now it’s time to give you a little glimpse of what’s coming. 👀

Behind the scenes, the Gold Crest Holidays programme is starting to take shape — and we can already tell 2027 is going to be something special. ❤️

Here’s just a taste of what’s appearing on the planning board…

🇫🇷 PARIS & DISNEYLAND PARIS
Magical days, unforgettable nights and memories for the whole family. ✨🏰

🇧🇪 BRUGES & GHENT
Beautiful architecture, historic streets, Belgian chocolate and plenty of atmosphere. 🍫

🇳🇱 HOLLAND & THE DUTCH BULBFIELDS
Colourful countryside, windmills, Amsterdam and those famous spring flowers. 🌷

🇫🇷 NORMANDY & THE D-DAY BEACHES
History, remembrance and some truly moving places to visit. 🇫🇷

🎢 EFTELING • EUROPA-PARK • FUTUROSCOPE
And plenty more adventures waiting to be discovered…

🇩🇪 BLACK FOREST & RHINE FALLS
Mountains, forests, spectacular scenery and unforgettable days out. 🏔️

🎄 AND THEN THERE ARE THE CHRISTMAS MARKETS…
Bruges. Cologne. Valkenburg. The Rhine. And more festive favourites to come. ✨🎅

…and that’s just the beginning.

We’re working behind the scenes to create a programme that brings together the classic Gold Crest favourites, exciting new adventures and destinations you’ve been asking us for.

This is only a glimpse.

The full adventure is coming… 👀🌍

❤️ So, the question is…
