Cresta adds Eurostar day trips
DEMAND for day trips on Eurostar has prompted Cresta to introduce daily options to Bruges in its 2001 Eurostar brochure.
Cities brand manager Ian Ackland said: “Weekend breaks to Bruges sell out weeks in advance so we expect day trips will be equally as popular.”
Bruges day trips lead in at £105 per person for travel between January 1 and September 30.
Also new to the programme are eight hotels in Paris including the newly renovated luxury Meurice Hotel. Ackland said extra properties will help ease the capacity squeeze in the French capital.
“In Paris, 60% of our bookings are now with Eurostar so we should be able to meet demand whatever the time of year,” he said.
