Unveiling 50 All-in-One European Vacation Packages for 2012, Monograms Encourages Travelers To Make "Someday" Today

February 01, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Travel News
This year, Monograms is encouraging travelers to get off the Internet … to get out of magazines … and simply GO to Europe. The travel company – part of the award-winning Globus family – is doing this by placing all of the planning, arranging and coordinating it takes to put together a Europe vacation into 50 all-in-one packages, ranging from four to 16 days, for 2012.

"Let's face it, life is short," said Steve Born, vice president of marketing for the Globus family of brands. "The Coliseum isn't getting any younger and Paris isn't getting on a plane to visit us. Instead, we're helping travelers realize their travel dreams by making going now not only possible, but also easy."

In addition to managing pre-trip details such as booking hotels, airport transfers and transport between cities for travelers, Monograms provides on-site support in the form of Local Hosts. This local expert helps vacationers get to know their destination by facilitating a half-day of sightseeing, arranging excursions and providing suggestions to help travelers explore their interests and passions.

Monograms also gives travelers – and agents – the option to personalize and pack fun into their vacation, before they go. Customizable options in Europe include such unique experiences as taking a trip to Normandy landing beaches, driving to the hilltop town of Tivoli to view the ruins and enjoying a guided ghost tour of Venice to walking through the Olympic Village in Barcelona, biking through Amsterdam and learning about the art of beer-making in Munich. These options, and many more, are available to travelers for pre-purchase, before they embark on their journey.

Monograms' all-in-one packages have never been so diverse. In addition to unveiling six NEW vacation packages for 2012, bundling such destinations as London, Paris, Barcelona & Madrid and Rome, Florence, Venice & Lake Maggiore, in 13-day all-in-one packages, the company offers mini-vacations with four-day city getaways in 14 cities, from Barcelona to Budapest, Paris to Prague and Venice to Vienna. Monograms also makes visiting multiple destinations simple with multi-country vacations and exploring passions easy with its romantic getaways, food & wine experiences and even, art and architecture itineraries.

And, for first-time travelers to popular destinations like Italy and Britain, Monograms has also put together European Starter Guides at www.travelstarterguide.com, meant to guide travelers through the vacation planning process.

"We're passionate about experiencing and discovering the world and are doing our best to encourage others to explore all Europe has to offer by making it easy to plan to perfect getaway and just go," said Born.
