Departure points to suit you...

Crusader Holidays uses an interchange system, taking place at either Beaconsfield Services (M40), South Mimms Services (M25/A1M) or Thurrock Services (M25).

Here you may have to change to your holiday coach and we are renowned for ensuring that this is smooth and efficient.

The holiday coaches typically depart from Beaconsfield Services at 11.15, Thurrock Services at around 09.30 and South Mimms Services at 10.30. Some customers find it more convenient to join direct at the interchange, please let is know when booking if this is the case.

NB to find your nearest joining point, enter your postcode (left) and click on the tick.

Please Note:

A majority of interchanges for UK tours take place at Beaconsfield Services (M40).

Interchanges for continental tours take place at Thurrock Services (M25).

South Mimms Services (M25/A1M) is used for UK tours on selected dates only.
