Editor's Note: This company has ceased operations.

The elegance of a bygone era surrounds you as you celebrate the holiday season in grand style. Offering 5 different Christmas and New Years itineraries, the scope and range of TRAVEL TIME CO. holidays can’t be matched. Luxurious accommodations and magical festivities are offered in England, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Prague.

For a truly White Christmas, indulge your senses in Zermatt, Salzburg or Vienna. Paired with New Years celebrations in Vienna, Munich or Prague, the delights of these cities will instill your soul with holiday cheer as they long ago inspired some of the world’s greatest composers. Music fills the air as you enjoy opera, symphony and chamber performances in the settings where they were first introduced. The Imperial grandeur of the Hapsburg Empire is revved, as gala Black-tie dinners and balls highlight the holiday festivities.  

Horsted Place, hosts a traditional English Country Christmas. Complete with a Pantomime and Day Hunt Meet, this country house provides a relaxed yet elegant holiday atmosphere. In London attend performances at The Royal Opera House, West End theatres and celebrate the New Year in style at the Ritz.

Perhaps an Irish holiday is more to your liking. Visit the National Stud Farm, spend an afternoon at the races in Leopardstown, tour Dublin’s literary history, and view some of Ireland’s great Country Estates. Curator’s tours of the National Gallery of Art and Archbishop Marsh Library combined with a lecture on Ireland’s Georgian Houses provides a thorough introduction to Ireland’s artistic heritage. Fantastic formal dinners and a millennium ball conclude the festivities.
