I'm having a hard time finding information on non-tropical honeymoon packages. Specifically, we're interested in a European honeymoon ... possibly Capri? Any suggestions?

Jennifer, there are so many options - you probably want to be more specific in what you're looking for. Paris is wonderful, Vienna is great, Luzern is great, Rome, Venice, Mykonos, Santorini, etc - it all just depends on what you want. Please list what you're looking for, how long you'll be there and things ya'll would like to do - I mean from a tourist perspective, of course. Europe would be a great place for a honeymoon! Actually - Canada could be pretty terrific, too.....

Jennifer, I am a sucker for honeymoons. <BR>But, it is hard to help not knowing: <BR>WHEN---HOW LONG---BUDGET RANGE--EXPERIENCE LEVEL[ in Europe, that is]. <BR>These factors make all the difference. <BR>More input please ! Fell free to contact <BR>me directly. <BR>

Jennifer, <BR> <BR>Is there any reason you're trying to go for a package? In my experience, you can often get away with spending less when you plan the trip yourself--and that way you get to do what you really want. <BR> <BR>My own honeymoon was in England--London and Cornwall. If I had a chance to do another one, I might choose Greece--Athens and one or two islands, perhaps Crete and Santorini. I've never been to Capri, but sitting at my desk here in Massachusetts I'm thinking it sounds great.

I think you should maybe forget the honeymoon thing (not doing it, of course, just forget the label "honeymoon package"), that may be the problem. If you've looked at any of these, that's really just a marketing gimmick. There's nothing unique about them you can't easily reproduce (you can just buy a regular package and buy your own bottle of champagne). There are plenty of such things called that, though, so maybe you just aren't that familiar with search engines? (you must limit your search to specific phrases or combinations of words through Boolean operators or such, some people don't know how to do that, and some search engines are a lot better than others--Altavista and Lycos and Excite are the best, I think). Here are some vacation/tour web sites that have honeymoon packages to Europe, including Greece: www.heartofeurope.com/honyfaqs.html, http://www.swift-tourism.com/homeric...eece/index.htm, www.clicktrips.com, www.tourlite.com, and www.olympiatours.com <BR>For Olympia Tours, you must click on a button somewhere to request them to send you their brochure detailing their various packages. If you really want to go to Capri, I don't think you'll find a package just for Capri, that's usually included in other sites within Italy. Really, if you only want to stay in a hotel in Capri, just plan it yourself, that's really all most of these packages consists of, hotel+air+bottle of champage+one dinner and maybe a tour. A deluxe hotel will easily have those services for you (ie, tour suggestions, nice restaurant or recommendations, etc.), sans the air but that's easy to get yourself or thru a travel agent if you're not comfortable looking for airfare on your own (you just go into Naples, I think). If you want to go to Capri, you should be able to plan a nice vacation easily as Capri has a very good, comprehensive website with hotel links and all other info: www.caprionline.com (or www.capri-island.com/en/home.html). Just look at the hotels listed on there, choosing by star-rating (maybe you want 4 star for this?) and their indiv. info for special room packages, you may not find any special deals, but you can just book the hotel you like best.

Jennifer, congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I have to agree with the previous posters however, I can see why you might want to go with a package since you are most likely maxed out planning just the wedding. You might talk with a travel agent and see if you can get an Air+Hotel Package in a city or resort town that is of interest to you. Whatever you do DON't take a group tour or anything that is going to have you running around alot.The days following my wedding all I was good for were laying about trying to absorb it all. My husband and I went to Paris for our honeymoon and for us it was ten thousand times PERFECT! So romantic, it is the city of love/light and all...sigh*. But since you mentioned Capri, I venture to guess you like beaches. Consider Santorini the Greek Island or South of France also.. Nice and the Cote D'Azure are really spectacular. Best Wishes.

Jennifer- <BR>There is a company called Unique Tours that specializes in weddings and honeymoons in Greece. They have a web site at www.uniquetours.com. If you really want a package, this seems like a good way to go. This is only European honeymoon package that I'm familiar with (but I would recommend looking in book and searching on the web) <BR>I'm currently planning our September honeymoon to France. Not only has the planning been fun, but it's relatively easy as I was able to view almost every hotel over the internet before I made reservations. We also loved choosing which areas in France we wanted to visit. <BR>Good Luck!
