AYLESFORD, England, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Door2Tour.com has launched its new range of 2010 Christmas market breaks comprising its biggest selection of Christmas markets ever, with over 550 departures to 15 UK and European countries by coach, air or cruise.

While summer temperatures may still be soaring, many will already be thinking about what to do for their festive breaks. Just in time to coincide with the peak festive booking period, the new arrivals mean that in addition to traditional summer favourites like Italy coach tours, travellers can also choose from an impressive line-up of Christmas market breaks incorporating some exciting, new destinations. The expanded selection means that in addition to festive favourites like Lille, Bruges, Brussels, Cologne, Strasbourg, Valkenburg and Rudesheim, customers booking with the coach holidays consolidator can now choose markets in vibrant capitals like Prague, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich and Paris. There are even breaks to stylish locations like the Italian Alps and glitzy French Riviera.

Kate Glanfield, web manager of Door2Tour, said: "It's great to see Christmas markets cropping up in more and more European cities, offering customers the chance to do something slightly different wherever they go. A lot of customers have already visited the markets in Germany or France, but our new breaks mean that customers can swap mulled wine for meatballs or ice rinks for ice cream, while still experiencing unique culture and soaking up the Christmas spirit."

Christmas market and New Year breaks packages are available for UK destinations like York, Lincoln or Bath, with flight packages also available to European cities from most UK airports, or festive cruises aboard the Marco Polo or Ocean Countess. Some breaks are even multicentre, incorporating more than one market across more than one country.

Kate concluded: "Sales for Christmas markets last year were up a massive 700% on 2008 and we're predicting this year's sales to rise yet again given the huge, diverse range now available. With 1-night UK market breaks available from as little as 79 pounds and a range of travel methods on offer, there's definitely something to suit every market goer."

The new Christmas breaks packages are inclusive of travel, accommodation, admission to the Christmas markets, services of a tour manager, plus any optional excursions as listed. All breaks are available to book online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
