【题目】 Nile Cruise in Egypt
It’s hard to beat Egypt for its mix of heat and culture in December. A seven-night cruise on board a traditional 19th-century-style wooden luxury sailing vessel, which sleeps up to 12 and cruises between Luxor and Aswan， costs from 775 per head full board，departing on December 11 through Bales (0845 057 0600 ; www. balesworldwide.com.)
Christmas Markets in Cologne
Perhaps the best of northern Europe’s many Christmas markets is Cologne -- there are seven separate themed markets which start opening this week. Cologne is also one of the easiest places to get to by train. Eurostar connections from London via Brussels take just under four hours and return tickets are available this winter from 89 (0843 218 6186; www.Eurostar.com ). For details of accommodation and markets see Cologne Tourism (www. cologne-tourism.com).
Skiing in Val Thorens
If you want to be sure of snow for skiing in the Alps before Christmas you need to head high -- where you will get the advantage of quiet slopes and low prices. A week9s stay at Chalet Eliane costs from 399 chalet board through Crystal Ski (0871 231 2256;www.crystalski.co.uk)，or, much more luxurious, a week’s half board at the five-star hotel costs from 1,195 through Crystal Finest (0871 971 0364; www.crystal finest.co.uk). Both packages are for departures on December 13.
Japanese Onsen
Snow monkeys warming themselves in the hot springs at Yudanaka make an endearing sight. As snowflakes fall you may be tempted to climb in yourself (perhaps not the same pool，though). Experience this, overnight at a temple and a ryokan, and see Tokyo and Hiroshima, traveling by bullet train, on the 14-night Japan Unmasked tour:1,600, excluding flights (0117 314 4620; www.insidejapantours.com).
