2. Happy New Year, Cuba!

Why here? Freedom Island is one of the best places to go for New Year 2020.

3. New Year in the Maldives

Why here? This is one of the best places where you can hide from all worries and not worry about anything. Real paradise. Ideal for a complete lazy holiday. And the period of New Year holidays is perhaps the most best time for this. Let the whole world remain somewhere far away, thousands of kilometers away ocean waters! Turn off your phone and forget about the Internet - why distract yourself from true pleasure?

Prices for New Year 2020:

• New Year tours to the Maldives cost from 280 thousand rubles for two (10 nights, 3-5*).

• 3* hotels on Maldives(not on the shore) cost from $55. Find a hotel →

However, the Maldives is a traditional package destination, and if you don’t want to bother with organizing a vacation, it’s easier to buy a tour and - all documents will be sent to you by email.

4. Seychelles

Why here? For the same reasons as the Maldives. Seychelles is a place for those who value privacy and comfort.

Price issue. As with the Maldives, the Seychelles has now become more accessible. Try to catch a last minute tour on.

Prices for New Year 2020:

• The cost of tours is from 180 thousand rubles. (if departures are on December 26-27) and from 200 thousand - for departures on December 30-31.

II. In pursuit of the spirit of Christmas: we are going to Europe for the New Year!

The sea is good. The sea is wonderful. There may be nothing better in the world than the sea, but one way or another during the New Year, many people really want to be in the center of the holiday and feel the Christmas spirit. If this sounds like you, then the best option for where to go to celebrate the New Year 2020 would be Europe.

The magical New Year and Christmas atmosphere can be enjoyed in many European countries: Great Britain, France, Germany, Scandinavian countries - any place where people celebrate Christmas and snow falls will do.

1. It’s inexpensive to travel to Europe for the New Year

Europe is not the cheapest region in terms of holidays, but even here there are several countries where you can relax relatively inexpensively during the New Year holidays and fully enjoy the magical Christmas atmosphere. For those who want to relax on New Year and Christmas in Europe as cheaply as possible, countries such as Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Poland, Slovenia. Basically, Germany- also not the most expensive European country.

2. To Europe for Christmas and New Year, without regretting anything!

More expensive options, where you can celebrate and have a great New Year 2020 and Christmas, is France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, UK and Sweden. In the countries of the Alpine region (Switzerland, France and Austria) you can ski, visit Christmas markets, admire the decoration of shopping galleries and city streets in general.

In most cases, when people imagine the Christmas atmosphere, the image that comes to mind is London. The capital of England is truly one of the most suitable places to go here for the New Year and Catholic Christmas. At this time, London turns into a real fairy tale! In fact, going on a trip to England is a completely feasible task for any person: getting a visa is not as easy as Schengen, but air tickets from Moscow to London are quite inexpensive (thanks to the low-cost airline easyJet). So Christmas London is much closer than you thought.

You can search for air tickets to the cities you are interested in using the Skyscanner and Aviasales search engines.

Every time we think about how and where better to celebrate the New Year. Gather your family and celebrate the chimes next to the Christmas tree? Going to a party with friends?..

Or maybe go abroad, where it’s warm, there are a lot of palm trees and beaches? But if only it were that simple! December 31, together at sea requires expenses of 100 thousand rubles - minimum.

In terms of organizing your holiday: the easiest option is a trip. And we recommend looking for it on online aggregators. Firstly, it’s convenient, and secondly, their search method is immediate for all tour operators will not miss a single profitable New Year's tour:

Where is the best place to go for the New Year at sea?

So, you decided to go meet warm sea, golden beaches and to the gentle sun. The first question facing future travelers is which country to choose abroad so that it is affordable, and at the same time interesting and safe?

We have compiled a list of the most popular countries. Here's where you can celebrate the New Year abroad in 2020:

Summary table - where is it warmest for the New Year?

New Year in Thailand

We celebrated the New Year in Bali, and for the January holidays we were in Thailand

Russians have long chosen Thailand as a place where they can spend an inexpensive holiday at sea. Trips here are organized year-round, and the cost of the tour even during the season is quite affordable - from 68-70 thousand rubles for two.

Pros of Thailand:

• + Departures – from most Russian cities
• + In stock - everything for which tours abroad are purchased for the New Year 2020 - sunny weather, clear blue sea and endless sandy beaches
• + Phuket is the best winter resort for vacation with a child
• + Vivid show programs in hotels and bars
• + Excursions, both natural and culturally inclusive
• + Exotic fruits – mango, papaya, mangosteen, dragonfruit, durian

New Year's holidays in Thailand will be of interest to both lovers of noisy parties and those who appreciate solitude. The latter can go to some small and sparsely populated Thai island and celebrate January 1 on a deserted beach - under the bright stars and the sounds of the surf.

When planning a New Year's trip abroad to the sea, it is worth considering some minuses:

• – December-January is the peak tourist season. The Thais, who are well aware of this, double their prices. Therefore, it is worth booking your tour 3-4 months in advance.
• – Almost everywhere there are a lot of people on the beaches, in entertainment venues, in markets and just on the streets.

New Year in Vietnam

Where else to relax on the warm sea during the New Year holidays besides the already familiar Thai resorts? Many people choose Vietnam. Its popularity is still gaining momentum, so a trip here is an extraordinary and interesting way to celebrate January 1st.

Here's what you can expect from the New Year in Vietnam:

• + reasonable prices (for example, lunch at good restaurant will cost $20–30)
• + bronze tan and warm weather
• + well developed tourism infrastructure and passable service
• + and a New Year's atmosphere along with a festive mood! (the streets of many cities are decorated with garlands, carnivals, folk festivals and fireworks are held)

Does the New Year in Vietnam really not promise any disadvantages? Unfortunately, there are drawbacks here too. In the south of the country, where most resorts are located, typhoons hit the coast from mid-October to the end of December. And in central regions, where there are also many popular resorts, from August to January the rainy season lasts.

Which resort to choose: Phan Thiet, Mui Ne, Phu Quoc - low season in Nha Trang.

• Prices for New Year's Vietnam start from 95,000 rubles for two for 10 nights.

Goa

Where to go inexpensively for New Year 2020? Goa is the cheapest and warmest thing that can happen during the holidays.

Someone claims that the state for vacation is “cheap and cheerful,” someone is delighted with the local “five” (who can be counted on one hand), and someone reads reviews about terrible unsanitary conditions and crosses the destination off the list. But it’s definitely worth a trip, we’re going too :)

• For 7 or 10 nights, a tour to Goa costs from 90,000 rubles for two (depending on the departure date).

Türkiye

Is it true. Also in 5-star hotels, all inclusive and with animation. But not all complexes are open in winter; the choice is quite limited. However, in that article we tried to select the best options.

Another scenario for celebrating the New Year in Turkey is Istanbul. Cats, bagels, light snow (possibly) and the Bosphorus with seagulls - we are delighted with the city in any weather :)

The only thing that will “disappoint” in resort Turkey is the temperature outside is +10°C...+15°C. There is something to counter this - a heated pool! List good hotels open in winter, we have presented in this article.

Which resort to choose: Istanbul, or Belek or Antalya.

• Turkey for the New Year tour will cost a minimum of 50,000 rubles per week for 2 people. To the hotel with good reviews- from 80,000 rubles.

UAE
