Cosmos Tours has launched its best ever discounts and extra value offers across touring, cruise and beach holidays for the peak booking period, as well as an aspirational range of new 'bucket lister' holidays as featured in the 'New Collection' and 'Worldwide' brochures.

Available to 28 February 2017, the savings are on offer earlier than in previous years so customers can take advantage of lower prices and guarantee the holiday, departure dates and flight timings of their choice.

Customers can enjoy the best prices with Cosmos Tours' newly launched 'Price Match Guarantee'* applicable to all touring holidays. If a customer finds a cheaper touring holiday from another company, Cosmos will match the price and offer an extra £50 discount. This means that customers can rely on getting the best deal every time when booking a Cosmos touring holiday. Visit www.cosmostoursandcruises.co.uk to check pricing and availability.

During the peaks campaign period, there will also be fortnightly extra exclusive discounts, based on a range of exciting destinations, with a 'Top Ten' of selected tours, cruises or beach holidays with a further £25 off per person.

Early bookers can also take advantage of other offers including a low deposit of £75 per person on every holiday and no single supplements to pay on a broad choice of worldwide tours and departure dates. The tour operator's popular exclusive VIP home pick up service is included as standard with every holiday booked.

Great value holidays include the 4 day 'Edinburgh Festival & Military Tattoo' priced from £569pp (includes three nights at a four star rated Leonardo Hotel, entrance to the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, whisky tasting and guided visits to Edinburgh city and castle). A 5 day 'Mini Adriatic Cruise' (Split to Dubrovnik) is priced from £699pp and includes return flights, four nights cruise accommodation aboard a five star rated cruise ship, some meals and overseas transfers.
