Virgin Holidays, the UK�s largest scheduled tour operator to the Caribbean takes its first customers direct to Jamaica�s Montego Bay today.
Virgin Atlantic�s weekly direct flights are expected to be a huge boost for Virgin Holidays� hugely successful Caribbean programme. The new flights to Jamaica will mean an even greater variety of holiday options are on offer for Virgin Holidays� customers at competitive prices.
Virgin Holidays� new Caribbean brochure for 2007 has 26 pages dedicated to the stunning island of Jamaica. There�s a great range of holidays and twin centres representing excellent value for money, choice and flexibility. A selection of fantastic offers are available throughout the brochure, including free nights at the Sunset Jamaica Grande resort, free room upgrades and free excursions.
This classic Caribbean island attracts both couples and families thanks to its diversity of beautiful beaches, mountain scenery, river rafting and great nightlife. Kids can stay and eat free at many hotels, and with two water parks based at the family friendly Sunset Beach Resort and Spa, and Rose Hall Resort and Spa, the little ones will be happily occupied all day leaving parents to relax and soak up the chilled out atmosphere of Jamaica.
For couples there�s the all inclusive San Souci, which is exclusive to Virgin Holidays� guests, and the Couples Ocho Rios and Couples Negril to name a few. Plus couples can save up to �200 on their holiday to Jamaica by booking early. The 2007 Caribbean brochure also features honeymoon offers, free weddings at many resorts and free weddings at all Sandals and Beaches resorts in Jamaica.
