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.
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 :)

Topdeck have many hidden gems scattered all over the internet... Some you might know about, but many you probably won't. 8) Check out www.topdecktravel.eu for a closer look at Topdeck's network of websites, blogs and other online media.
Who knows what you might find! ;)
Any plans for September/October? Did you know that the World's BIGGEST BEER FESTIVAL is taking place then? Of course you did. But, are you going?
You can rightly ask back - why would I? Well, here are just a couple of reasons:
Approx. 6 million people think it's a good idea
Great Beer - 69,400 hectolitres (1=100 ltrs)!
Good Food - 14,2000 pairs of sausages or delicious pork knuckles
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! ;)
