Possible Tours en l'Air 2010/11


A world premiere in Florence created and danced by two National Ballet principals? A ballet-packed weekend in New York? Whatever takes your fancy, the 2010 ballet lineup in Europe and North America is very exciting.

Please email toursenlair@victortravel.ca or phone Katherine Barber at 416 631 3125 to indicate which tour(s) you might be interested in. This does not commit you to anything but ensures that a trip you might want to go on doesn't sell out before you have a chance to sign up for it. Fuller details on itineraries and repertoire are available, and you can also sign up for our general mailing list.

For vacation time planning, please note that for most of these packages, air transport to and from Canada will be in addition. If travelling to Europe, you would need to depart Canada the previous day (for tours starting in London, arriving on the daytime flight on the first day of the package is also an option).
