OVERVIEWThis site recommends a 9 day, 8 night trip. The next best choice is one day and night longer! Below are alternatives, including trips for the rest of the year.
SHORTER DECEMBER TRIP LENGTHS
For families that just can’t do a night longer…I have developed
- two versions that are one day shorter than the Basic Itinerary,
- one very grueling version two days shorter, and
- one that is 3 days shorter, which will feel like a warmer version of Napoleon’s march on, and return from, Moscow (he lost, bitterly and badly, in case you don’t remember, and was subject to incessant bitching from his kids, until he fled them to Elba. (I made that last part up.))
See Shorter and Longer Itineraries for the December Week for these alternatives.
TRIPS THE REST OF THE YEAR
I have also created itineraries for weeks other than the target December week–for these, see Itineraries for the Rest of the Year.
