The newly re-launched EuroVacations.com offers a wide range of over 1,000 hand-picked hotels, low prices on packages throughout Europe.

The newly re-launched EuroVacations.com offers a wide range of over 1,000 hand-picked hotels, low prices on packages throughout Europe and the U.K., and a savings formula based on what individual customers choose to buy.

The savings formula, called “5-7-9,” gives users a 5% discount when they purchase two qualifying products, 7% when they purchase three, and 9% when they purchase four or more.

A typical traveler could save several hundred dollars in a matter of moments,” said Roman Godzich, Vice President of E-Business at Rail Europe Group. “You can book a hotel and car rental in Paris, a daytrip out of Paris to see the D-Day landing beaches in Normandy, a hotel in Avignon after your stay in Paris, and save more than $200 just for booking everything in one place. Other online travel sites tell you that you’ll save money if you bundle products together, but since they don’t give you the details, you can never tell if it’s real savings or just a story. EuroVacations shows you the savings each step of the way as you put your vacation together.”

The 5-7-9 approach, according to Godzich, has so far proven extremely popular with users, and complements the site’s hand-picked hotel selection (more than 1,000 throughout Europe), value-priced packages, and advice-packed destination pages. “Most sites are just a database of hotel names,” he said. “We have a dedicated staff that visits and approves every property we sell, and we’re constantly expanding our ‘How To Vacation’ section to offer insight into how to get the most out of your vacation. We think every one of our customers deserves that effort.”

Tours, hotels, car rentals and affordable packages are available throughout Europe. For example, the popular 6-night London & Paris, which includes a ride on the Eurostar train linking England and France via the “Chunnel,” starts at just $779 this spring; 6-night Paris or 6-night London packages begin at $729 or $799; and a romantic Prague-Vienna-Budapest 6-night package starts at $999. Packages include airfare, hotel, rail transportation between cities, and daily breakfast. Prices are per person based on double occupancy.

Eurovacations.com is part of the Rail Europe Group, which has been handling European travel for Americans for more than 60 years.
