There is always the sunshine of North Africa!

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

I can report that here in London many of us are getting affected by the seasonal ‘time-to-get-out-of-town’ disease, only curable by packing your bags… The next question is: where to go? We are torn between the idea of hitting the white slopes of Europe for a spot of skiing or exploring the wonders of North Africa but in the end, our yearning for warmth as well as sunshine wins. We are heading to Egypt!

Pyramids, Pharaohs, quad bikes and beaches: life does not get much better than this.

If you are ready for a well-deserved break, check out Topdeck’s Egypt programme. You can also save up to 10% on Egypt specials.

Sometimes ‘cheap’ Ski packages don’t add up…

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

It really bugs us when we see ‘cheap’ Ski packages advertised without the extras :x and we’re sure you probably feel the same.

When you think about it - a Ski holiday is all about the extras… What good is a skiing trip without a pair of Skis?

Ski Hire sounds like a pretty basic necessity for a Skiing holiday, right? You might think so, but some ‘cheap’ packages won’t even give you that. :?

Topdeck on the other hand, believe that a Ski package should be all inclusive! No fuss, no wasted time, and no false prices.

Don’t Waste Winter - discount trips to Europe in winter!

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Each year, thousands of people waste their winter by sitting around with nothing to do. Precious time that could have been spent having fun is lost forever! For this winter, Topdeck has one message for you… DON’T WASTE WINTER.

During the Festive Season, browse the Christmas markets in Brugge, celebrate Christmas in Scotland or Paris, explore the Baltics or welcome in the New Year in Berlin, Krakow, Prague, Edinburgh or Amsterdam. If you have a little more holiday time, you can also discover Europe in its winter glory on our extended tours with all the advantages (lower prices, no crowds, cheaper shopping) that winter travel offers.

Winter wouldn’t be the same without skiing or snowboarding, and our awesome value All Inclusive Ski package to Les Deux Alpes in France will take care of that. With your ski pass, ski rentals, all meals, accommodation, leisure pass and ski lessons included, it is a trip not to miss.

So, get off your butt and check out dontwastewinter.com :)

New Years Eve 2009 in Europe

Thursday, July 30th, 2009

Wherever you decide to celebrate the New Year, chances are there’s something exciting happening. Unless you’re home with your parents…in which case you may want to have a plan B. If you’re undecided, there’s still time to get together with friends, make new friends, or call up old friends and plan a reunion.

How about taking part in Edinburgh’s world-famous Hogmanay that turns the Scottish capital into a gigantic street party? New Year in Berlin is also promising to be a cool party experience. Then there are the amazing New Years Eve fireworks in Krakow and the crazy/unique nightlife of a New Year in Amsterdam!

If you’re sorted for New Year, but would like to do something different for Christmas or fancy a trip to some European Christmas markets beforehand, check out what Topdeck offers for the upcoming Festive Season!

Extended winter tours are also available so you could see Europe without the crowds in all its snow-covered glory.

Trips aimed at 18-30 something travellers. Fun factor - guaranteed! ;)
