Plan a British Invasion with this eight-night escorted tour of England and Scotland for $1899, including airfare on Virgin Atlantic.

Departing in fall, this deal knocks $1500 off purchasing these components separately, and it is the one of the most comprehensive vacations in the market. 

Relax in an air-conditioned motor coach as a professional driver negotiates the "wrong" side of the street on the way to these iconic landmarks:

• Big Ben
• House of Parliament
• Buckingham Palace
• Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square
• Stratford, birthplace of Shakespeare
• Stonehenge
• Edinburgh Castle in Scotland
• Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest
• Liverpool, The Beatles' Hometown

This vacation includes: roundtrip airfare to London from New York, services of an English-speaking tour manager throughout the trip, daily breakfast and eight nights in centrally located hotels (three in London, one in Bristol, one in Liverpool, two in Edinburgh and one in Leeds).  

Virgin Atlantic was named the Leading Transatlantic Airline at the 2010 World Travel Awards. Economy-class passengers receive free meals and drinks; seat-back TVs show 300 hours of on-demand video.

Depart: Oct. 1, 15 (additional dates available, starting at $70 more)
