Tour Overview
One of Britain’s oldest resorts, Weymouth is the perfect place to enjoy a magical Christmas break!
Itinerary
Day 1
Local departure by coach, then on to Weymouth and our hotel for four nights. We'll enjoy a festive package at the hotel complete with Christmas dinner and all the trimmings (see Hotel for details)
Day 2 Christmas Eve In Dorchester
Location: Christmas Eve in Dorchester
Today we visit Dorchester, the county town of Dorset and a historic market town. Fans of the acclaimed poet and writer Thomas Hardy will be aware of the town’s connection, with it featuring as ‘Casterbridge’ in many of his works, and with Hardy’s birthplace located on the outskirts of Dorchester in Higher Bockhampton. Shoppers may prefer to browse the central pedestrianised area with its arcades of shops, whilst history-lovers may prefer a visit to the Dorset County Museum or the Keep Military Museum.
Day 3 Christmas Day At Leisure
Location: Christmas Day at leisure
Merry Christmas! Relax in Weymouth, open some presents, tuck into a traditional turkey dinner, and enjoy the festive atmosphere in the hotel with your fellow travellers.
Day 4 Boxing Day In Isle Of Purbeck And Swanage
Location: Boxing Day in Isle of Purbeck and Swanage
This morning we take a jaunt to the Isle of Purbeck, passing through quaint Corfe Castle to reach seaside Swanage. Here there’s a lovely, sandy beach and you can take a stroll and catch some sea air along the sea front
Day 5
We depart the hotel this morning, filled with magical Christmas memories, and return home.
Accommodation
You will stay for four nights at the Prince Regent or Russell Hotel in Weymouth (includes tea, coffee and mince pie on arrival, glass of Bucks Fizz, traditional Christmas Day lunch, lunch on Christmas Eve & Boxing Day, two afternoon teas and nightly entertainment)
Check out our Q&As
-
Do I have to do the excursions?
Certain excursions are included in the price of your holiday. If you choose not to go on an included excursion, for whatever reason, no refunds will be made.
-
How much are the optional excursions?
This depends on which tour you book. Prices are given with the itinerary for the tour and sent out with Travel Documents 5 days before departure.
-
Do I need to have travel insurance?
If you are a British citizen and are going on a UK holiday, you are not required to have insurance. If you are a non-British citizen and are going on a UK holiday, you are required to have an insurance policy in place or return a signed indemnity form to us prior to travel. For all travellers on European tours, you must either have a travel insurance policy in place or return a signed insurance indemnity form to us prior to travel.
-
Will there be a toilet on-board the coach?
All main tour coaches have on-board toilets. Transfer vehicles to and from the interchange may not have on-board toilets.
-
Can I pay for the optional excursions when I make my booking?
Optional excursions can be booked with your coach driver or Tour Manager and operate strictly subject to availability and demand. Some optional excursions are pre-bookable due to demand when making your reservation. The running order of included and optional excursions may be altered without prior notice.
-
Do you operate a “single share” option and how does it work?
No, we do not. However, we only ever charge a supplement if a hotelier imposes this charge to us as a company. Single room supplements are a bone of contention within the travel industry and we would like to assure you that we proactively seek accommodation with low or no single room supplements for our guests.
-
What documents will I receive before I travel?
You will receive a detailed itinerary alongside travel documents, and these will be sent 5 days prior to travel.
