Classic Collection adds New York in City Breaks brochure


Ben Ireland


Classic Collection Holidays is featuring New York for the first time in a revamped City Breaks brochure. The luxury operator says its 100-page brochure has a


“much broader range” of pre-bookable experiences and hotels than before and “an emphasis on competitive pricing”. Istanbul and Athens return to the range and


new destinations in France have been added. Product and commercial director Alex Gavalda


said: “Remarkably, this is our 15th brochure launch since March 2020. At no point during the health crisis have we stopped working on new programmes and destinations to the benefit of our trade partners and their customers. “We are aiming to tempt clients away from OTAs


and back into travel agencies to book a more rewarding and rounded city-break experience.”


11 MARCH 2021 Gavalda said Classic can also access a wider range of


hotel accommodation than in the brochure. The Redbury New York is available from £722 for


four nights on a room-only basis. It can be paired with a visit to the Empire State Building observatory from £34 and twinned with trips to Mexico or Bermuda. In France, three nights’ bed and breakfast at


the Radisson Blu Hotel Bordeaux is available from £549, while a half-day Medoc Wine Tour


starts from £88. In Turkey, Sura Design Hotel & Suites in


Istanbul is available from £713 for three nights’ bed and breakfast, and an optional full-day Istanbul highlights tour costs from £138. The city break can be twinned with beach resorts in Bodrum, Dalaman or Antalya for a twin-centre break. All prices include flights and private transfers. classic-collection.co.uk/brochure-request
