LUXURY HOLIDAYS: HOW TO GET AWAY THIS YEAR Channel 4, 8pm
AFTER months inside, we’re all desperate to get away – but do we even dare to dream?
Eternal optimists have been booking (and cancelling) trips for a year, while others have stoically held off, waiting for the green light.
But with UK staycations booking up, and Boris’s roadmap giving Brits a glimmer of hope, is now the best time to book a summer break?
In this quietly encouraging programme, Sabrina Grant investigates whether a proper holiday in 2021 is possible, and finds out where we can go.
Are we all off to Romania or Poland in August, or will other countries let us in?
You want the vineyards of France? Why not taste-test a more English tipple in Kent.
A coastal holiday? Try Dorset’s Jurassic coast instead.
Did you fancy a cruise? How about heading to the highlands and islands of Scotland?
OK so the weather might not be quite as good, but if we are not in our living rooms, it will be a welcome change.
Sabrina explores how we can protect both our health and our money, looking at Covid cover, the possibility of vaccine passports and what is being done to keep everyone safe.
She also meets four families, helping them to find the perfect break.
From Scotland to the Maldives, from glampervans to yachts, you might want to follow suit.
