Real Life Fantasy

Whether you’ve dreamed of peering out grand castle windows, beholding sparkling crown jewels, gazing up to snow-dusted Alps, or glancing down to charming, twinkling villages, Cosmos makes it possible to take a page from your favorite fairytales. Delve deeper through the rocky cliffs above deep blue seas and cobblestone lanes leading to lush green meadows on an affordable vacation package to explore more in Europe. Like a storybook unfolding, these storied sights are waiting to be written into your next travelogue. “Tartan Tales,” “Chianti Capers,” and “Flamenco Nights,” are all potential chapter titles as Cosmos leads you to the bonnie Highlands of Scotland, the vine-clad hills of Tuscany, the lively promenades of Spain, and the most memorable experiences throughout Europe. Legends and lore come to life from London to Lucerne while your own travel stories take shape. Beyond the cathedrals and cafes and the palaces and pubs, centuries of plot lines, generations of characters, and storybook settings galore (minus any villainous fees) await your new discoveries in the Old World—because only Cosmos helps you turn the page to new ways to explore Europe without surprise endings for your budget.
