Cape Town, one of the most famous cities in the world with its iconic Table Mountain, vineyards and Robben Island, is a natural choice for local and international travellers over December. From markets to 5-star restaurants and hotels and little fishing villages, Cape Town has so much to offer. A melting pot of different cultures and traditions where people stroll the promenade and sip coffees at side-walk cafés.

Looking for a big party to see in the New Year? A Scottish celebration of New Year, Edinburgh’s Hogmanay is one of the best places to be when the clock strikes midnight. Berlin has an entire Party Mile set up for the occasion. Sydney in Australia is always one of the first major cities to celebrate the New Year, and their firework display over the harbour bridge has become somewhat legendary. We’re also running packages to New York, so you can join the crowds in Times Square as they usher in 2019.

Christmas in Mauritius is a dream come true in every way. Imagine sipping a cocktail on a powder-white beach as the crystal clear waters gently wash the shores in front of you. The sun slips lazily behind the horizon and you make your way to the resort in anticipation of a curry or seafood dish inspired by Mauritius Indian, Chinese, French and Creole communities. Mauritian resorts are alive with festive celebrations for young and old. Water sports, snorkeling, swimming or sun-tanning, the choice is yours.

Have you ever thought of seeing the New year in aboard a cruise? Celebrate the beginning of 2019 in Port Louis, Mauritius before heading to Reunion and more time cruising the Indian Ocean. Unpack once and visit these two incredible island getaways and bring in the New Year in style.
