At Virgin Holidays, we believe amazing service should come as standard. That’s why Virgin Holiday’s magic touches are made available to all Virgin Holidays customers – not just the VIPs!

We realise that you want to make the most of being on holiday, so we came up with Check in, Chill out, so you can check in for your flight without leaving the beach…or bar.  Airports are a drag.  The holiday only really starts when you get to your destination.  And if you’ve got kids, then airports are living nightmares.  So, to perk up the airport experience, we came up with the VRoom. And when you’re on holiday, you want to make sure it’s as good as it can be.  That’s where Virgin Holidays’ Concierge service comes in – a concierge actually tuned in to the buzz of your destination, not a guy in a suit on kick backs from rip-off restaurants. This belief is what sets Virgin Holidays apart from the competition. That’s why we actually encourage our customers to ‘Ask For the World’.

But how do you express that exclusive treatment in a single thought.  What do Virgin Holidays offer that no-one else does?  We think it can be described as…

“ROCKSTAR SERVICE”

It’s a level of care you’d normally associate with the glamour and excitement of the entertainment elite.  Made available to every Virgin Holidays customer.
 
The Rockstar Service campaign is the latest creative expression of this belief. With Virgin Holidays, you can rest assured that you’ll get intuitive, imaginative typically brilliant twinkle-in-the-eye Virgin service, every single time you travel with us.

Calm, secluded beaches, stunning terrain, and plenty of attractions mean you won’t ever be disappointed with a vacation to Cyprus, no matter what your holiday preferences are.

Many people look at their vacation time as the prime opportunity to shop, visit clubs, and enjoy the social atmosphere. Others prefer to spend their holiday lying on a quiet beach, in a cozy cafe, or just spending time with their family. If you have a mix of interest, or conflicting interests with your vacation group, you might find choosing a holiday destination a challenge. Finding a place that gives you the opportunity to both relax, and still have fun is difficult. However, Cyprus is one of the few places in the world where you can enjoy beautiful landscape, modern clubs, quiet tavernas, delicious cuisine, and luxurious hotels all in one place. And with so many cities on the island to choose from, you will really have your work deciding on a destination cut out for you. Holidays to Paphos Cyprus alone, for example, offer a wide variety of experiences. From the relaxing and sleepy holiday seekers, to the active and exciting holiday seekers, they all find what they’re looking for in Cyprus.

Booking a holiday bound for Cyprus is also extremely easy, and your options are just as broad. Using a Deal Checker to find the best prices can help those looking to cut down on vacation expenses, as this island caters to any holiday budget.

After a long year in front of a desk or working hard at your job, there’s nothing better to look forward too than the long Summer holidays, so you can relax and enjoy some quiet time. We all aim to get that perfect set of conditions just right and in the right succession so we can have the best holidays, but that’s usually very hard.

My number one advice when going on holiday is not to get too caught up in the details. For that, it’s essential to have a good mastery of your holiday budget. Always aim for something lower than your overall budget so you can have room to maneuver in case something goes wrong. We’ve all had instances when something didn’t go as planned and we ended up spending more money than expected, and that can be a cause of stress. For instance, I remember a friend of mine was stunned to realize, upon arrival in Greece, that public transport was on strike and so the shuttle bus between the airport and the area of town where his hotel was was not working. He had to take an expensive taxi ride and for a while was stressed out thinking about how much of a toll that would take in his holidays. 

Next up is, naturally, picking the place to go. Going for a Majorca holidays package will allow you to enjoy time at the beach and an active nightlife, but if you’re more into hiking or looking at historical sites, you’re probably better off going somewhere else.

It’s also important to make sure that all people that are going with you on holiday, be it your family or your friends, agree on where you’re going and what you’ll be doing. That Ibiza holidays package may sound really good and cheap, but if half of your friends isn’t into going out at night, or if you’re taking your grandma with you, you’ll be better off picking somewhere quieter. Ensuring that everyone is doing what they want and enjoying themselves will work wonders for the overall spirit and feeling of the group and it will also avoid unwanted stress for you, the holiday planner.

My final advice is to let go. If you have followed my advice on the budget, you can afford to skip some of the cheap options. Feel like sleeping in one day? Just do it. Never mind the inexpensive hotel breakfast, you can afford to have some native pastry at a café for one day.

Greek islands holidays are among the top holiday destinations in the World. And this doesn’t happen by accident. Greece has a great fame for being an awesome tourist destination , and this is due to several factors. The most important of which is, let’s face it, the natural beauty of the land. Surely, Greece has been blessed with amazing landscapes in both its mainland and its islands. And it’s the islands that attract the greatest part of the tourist excluding, of course, the capital Athens. Athens is famous and renowned for its historical sites and its cuisine. Greek cuisine is among the finest in the World and it incorporates elements from ancient Greece, Turkish cuisine and Western cooking in an amazing mix. Greece is also home to very good wine, mainly produced in the mainland, but also in the islands. 

As for the islands, there are too many of them for us to mention all of them. But there is a rule of thumb among Greeks that says that the furthest islands are from the mainland, especially from Athens, the better they are. This is mostly due to two factors. First of all, pollution: Athens is a big city and along with its port of Piraeus it somewhat dirties the waters of the Mediterranean around it. Not to a very noticeable extent, but enough that you notice it when you travel further away from the mainland. The other factor is that the closest you are from the mainland, the bigger the chances of people from the mainland taking a ferry to visit the island and completely ruining your peace and quiet.

No Greece holidays are complete without a visit to the most amazing island in the country, that also has the added bonus of being very far away from the mainland, and all the standard of excellence that comes with that. Santorini is an absolutely breathtaking piece of godly art that makes you wonder why you didn’t get there sooner, why you can’t stay longer and how soon you can return. The best times to visit the island are late spring and early autumn, when there are less tourists, both foreign and Greek. Also, during the summer months the island is very hot and sometimes there are some problems with water supply, although that’s never really been a problem in recent years. But don’t take our word for it, go there and see it for yourself.

Gambia, or the Republic of the Gambia as it’s officially known, is a small country off the Western coast of Africa. With an area of only 4,007 square miles, or 10,380 square kilometers, it’s a truly small country. But you’ll find that its beauty is without borders.

Catering to many different types of tourists with its sunny beaches and luxurious wildlife, Gambia is also a pretty cheap travel destination. In fact, you may find that in a cheap holidays to Gambia travel package in any of your local travel agencies, you’ll often be paying more for the actual trip there than for all of your stay, including hotel fees and meals.

Of course there are less cheap options in Gambia, with the natural increase in luxury and in activities you can partake in, but even those you’ll find that aren’t anywhere near as expensive as they are in other countries.

So if you want to experience Africa in all its beauty we strongly recommend a trip to Gambia. For those of you who are a little reluctant to fly to a different continent because of the communication and cultural barrier, you’ll be happy to know that Gambia was a former British colony and that its official language is still English.

Going to Cyprus, and spending a decent amount of time in Cyprus, you will find that, however consistently beautiful, it has stark contrasts that just add to its natural beauty. The tourist touring and visiting Cyprus that’s adventurous enough to move out of the tourist comfort zone that is the main cities and holiday resorts and ventures out to the real country will, first of all, find a stark difference in prices of commodities like food, clothing, drinks and overall services. Going for cheap holidays to Cyprus is something that many Greeks have learned to do, and what they do is move to the less populated areas of the island and stay either in cheap hostels or just camp. Official camping sites will allow you to stay for practically nothing and with very cheap supermarkets and stores nearby. If you know the island well enough and are feeling particularly adventurous, you can even stay in designated camping areas, in the hills or forests near the beaches, that are free, although devoid of nearby sanitary conditions, like the paid camping grounds are.

So in trying to spend less money on your holidays, the key is to shop around and get to know where you’re going.

There are many different kinds of cruises out there, from the size of the boat to the route it takes. If you are planning a vacation on a cruise boat for your next holiday, you’ll first need to decide which one is right for you. You may think they are all boats, but depending on your needs, desires, and schedule, some will be right for you while others are not. Here are some examples of the variety of cruises available, and what type of traveler they suit best..

Small cruise boats are ideal for those who prefer to spend more time off ship. Often their itineraries are not lengthy trips, but they are more likely to have several stops where large cruise liners do not. If you prefer to explore on shore more than staying on the boat, then choose a smaller boat.

Larger cruise liners are a popular option. Considering they have everything right on board, you will find yourself not wanting to leave. These ships do make stops at a few locations, but with so much to do on board, you will hardly notice. This is ideal if you prefer a luxury trip, with restaurants, shows, spas, and pools all available at all hours of the day.
