Description

At Rockefeller Center, skaters circle beneath a tree as tall as a building, and the crowd stops to watch them. Further along Fifth Avenue, the department store windows compete with their displays. New York in December has an energy of its own, and this motorcoach trip lets you live it in four days.

The first full day starts with a city tour with a local guide, then a round of the Christmas markets, from Union Square to the Bryant Park Winter Village. The evening is free, in Times Square or at a table in Manhattan. The next day, the 9/11 Memorial calls for reflection before a Harlem gospel choir fills a church with voices. In the evening, the houses of Dyker Heights, in Brooklyn, compete with lights and figures.

The way home stops at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets to finish the gift list. A trip escorted in French, guaranteed departure, with accommodation in New Jersey and the option of staying in Manhattan.

Synergia network group departures

Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.

What sets these departures apart

  • A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
  • A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
  • A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
  • Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it

How to book

Each departure has its own responsible advisor. Choose the trip that interests you in the list, then reach us through the contact page for remaining places and terms. These departures often fill months ahead.

Other ways to travel as a group

If no date suits you, two other routes exist: organized trips, already built and sold by tour operators, and a custom group, built around your own participants. Voyages AquaTerra holds Quebec permit 702703.

Frequently Asked Questions

An escorted trip built by an advisor in the Voyages Synergia network, on fixed dates with limited places, usually built around one specific activity.
No. Most participants do not know each other at departure. That is one reason these trips appeal to people travelling alone.
It varies by product, from a few dozen to fewer than ten on expeditions. The number is stated in each departure file.
Often yes, several months ahead, because places are limited. It is worth enquiring as soon as a date is announced.
Sometimes, depending on the flights and hotels used. Ask the responsible advisor before confirming, since it changes the air booking.
