Christmas tour types: i'm dreaming of a....

White Christmas

Snow is falling outside and a warm fire is blazing indoors. There are many ways to fulfill your dream of a winter wonderland. Stroll through  Europe’s famous Christmas markets  looking for gifts, soak in  Iceland ’s hot springs while the Northern Lights dance in the sky, or enjoy a thrilling dog sled ride in  Canada .

Sunny Christmas

On the other hand, a sunny vacation is a perfect antidote to the winter blues, and the place to do that is the Southern Hemisphere—you can’t catch the winter blues when it's summer! Visit  New Zealand  and  Australia  for a traditional beachside Christmas, or explore  South Africa’s  history and wildlife. 

Tropical Christmas

And sometimes you just want to escape the Christmas hustle and bustle for a year. That’s when a tropical adventure comes in handy. Explore the culinary scene of Thailand , marvel at the incredible cityscapes of Singapore , or explore the cultural treasures and natural wonders of  Sri Lanka .
