It’s Here – Winter 2017 is Now Taking Bookings!

Is your inner explorer desperate for an adventure? Thomson has launched exciting destination expansions, upgrades and a fantastic new holiday spot – the wait is over, you can book right now!

Vietnam – Phu Quoc

 

Blessed with year-round warm temperatures and winter temperatures of around 30⁰C, Phu Quoc is a winter sun seekers dream. And Thomson is the only operator that offers direct flights to this little piece of heaven. With Thomson Dreamliner flights leaving Gatwick every Wednesday, you could be landing in paradise in less than 12 hours.

Phu Quoc is Vietnam’s largest island covered in tropical jungles and white-sand beaches. One of its greatest features is Phu Quoc National Park, which clocks up more than 31,000 hectares of forests, mountains and waterfalls – that’s a lot of exploring to be done.

 

Intrepid travellers can take advantage of four tours showing off Vietnam’s best assets. The island has something to offer almost everyone with an urge to discover. Cool off from the tropical heat by going reef diving or kayaking in the bays. While, land lovers can uncover the secrets of ancient temples or trek through the dense jungles to find breathtaking views from the mountains.

Thomson has three key hotels available on this resort. All offer coastal locations, beautiful pools, fantastic restaurants, and plenty of activities – so even if you just want two weeks of relaxation at a lovely resort, you won’t be bored.

If you’re staying for less than 15 days you won’t even need a visa, so your holiday really can be stress-free.

Now Available Year-Round

Thomson is proud to announce that two of its most incredible Caribbean destinations are now available for bookings throughout the year – Cuba’s Cayo Santa Maria and St Lucia.

 

Travellers who choose St Lucia can look forward to experiencing lush rainforests, colourful waterfalls and mighty volcanic peaks. In fact, one of these volcanoes is the only drive-in volcano in the world! Animal lovers will be at home here too with whale and dolphin watching opportunities available. Plus, did we mention you can even see turtles come ashore to lay their eggs?

 

Cayo Santa Maria is a small island off the coast of Cuba. Although it is only two kilometres long and 13 kilometres wide, there are 17 kilometres of untouched beaches – it really is a beach bum’s utopia. Twin centre holidays to Cuba’s capital Havana can also be booked in order to experience Cuba’s city culture.

Thailand and Goa Grow

 

One of Thomson’s most popular destinations is expanding which means even more people can experience the wonders of the Thai islands. Over 60% of additional plane seats have been added as well as new 10/11-night durations from Gatwick. And flights on Mondays and Fridays from Gatwick and Wednesdays from Manchester and Birmingham mean Thailand has never been easier to get to. Thomson also welcomes new multi-centre trip combinations across the country along with new hotels in Phuket and Khao Lak.

 

Goa is India’s answer to nirvana. Palm trees, sunsets and culture, winter 2017 could see you having a real Indian summer. Over 9,000 more seats have been added to flights heading to India’s beach capital, new flights from Birmingham and Manchester, and more accommodation has been added to the Goa programme. Multi-centre combinations and tours get you seeing India’s most memorable sights and make incredible holiday memories.

Winter Sailing

For the first time ever, Thomson Cruises will have three ships based in the Caribbean for winter 2017, these will include their two newest ships which are All Inclusive as standard. If flying isn’t your thing, then these cruises should definitely be on your bucket list.

So… who’s chosen their perfect winter holiday destination already?
