Insight Vacations® is celebrating its Signature Year with the release of its 2015 Europe, Britain, Eastern Mediterranean & Morocco brochure. This collection comes complete with unrivaled choices for destinations, 14 new Premium and Gold itineraries, and an amazing array of Signature Events. To add even greater value to these unforgettable itineraries, your clients can take advantage of our Early Payment Discount and save up to $2,126 per couple by booking and paying in full by December 18, 2014.
“Last year, we introduced a range of Signature Events to our Europe itineraries,” said Phil Cappelli, President of Insight Vacations. “A 'Signature' is a sign of authenticity, so we chose this terminology to reflect our offerings that extend far beyond traditional run-of-the-mill tourist fare. This year, we are building on the success of this program and expanding the concept across every itinerary in four categories: Hotels, Dining, Evenings and Experiences. Collectively, we refer to these as 'Signature Events.'
“Insight guests have always been able to rely on VIP entrance to the most celebrated sites in Europe, being led by expert Tour Directors, and staying at gorgeous hotels in central locations. However, guests have told us that it's not just the destinations that make a holiday unforgettable, but the dishes they eat and the people they meet. It's these engaging and authentic – or Signature – experiences that our guests talk about for years to come. Our goal is to offer as many of these as possible to your clients, whether it's a cooking demonstration with Chef Lorenzo in Umbria, staying in the elegant Château de Rochecotte in the heart of the Loire Valley, or tasting the freshly-pressed olive oil difference at a family-run Olive Mill.”
Here is a sample of Insight's 2015 Signature Events:
• World Champion gelato maker Sergio Dondoli's offers samples of his delicious experimental flavors, like raspberry and rosemary and gorgonzola cheese and walnuts.
• Guests enjoy a cooking demonstration and tasting of the Potato Peel Pie from the original WWII ration-book recipe – the intriguing dish was made famous by Mary Ann Shaffer's novel, “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society.”
• Insight guests are invited to partake in a Friday night Shabbat dinner in Tel Aviv.
• At the home of champion Scandinavian dog racer Roger Dahl, guests meet his adorable Huskies and are regaled with stories of competing in marathon Arctic dog sleigh races.
The 2015 collection includes 10 new Premium itineraries to destinations including Italy, Greece, Dalmatia and Morocco. Four new Gold Luxury itineraries have also been added, and these itineraries are now fully all-inclusive. More than 80 European hotels have been hand-picked during a meticulous screening process and now qualify as Signature hotels. Finally, Insight guests enjoy Early Payment Discounts, brochure discount offers, and single-friendly departures that offer significant reductions on single supplements.
