Have Your Wedding or Honeymoon at Dracula's Castle!

(or just go on the Vampire Vacation and have the time of your life)

Spending Halloween night in Dracula's Castle is the ultimate highlight of a "vampire vacation," but getting married there or spending your honeymoon in Transylvania can be a reality. Dracula and horror enthusiasts have had the time of their lives on the "Dracula Tour," which brings fear-filled travelers to Transylvania twice a year. We also offer the option of having your wedding, honeymoon or renewal of vows as part of the week-long travel adventure that blends the chills and thrills with the cultural and historic aspect of the tour.

2009 is the 12th anniversary of the "Dracula Tour" to Transylvania. The summer edition of the Carpethian vacation is July 9-16th and the haunted Halloween holiday journey takes place October 27-November 3, 2009. SPECIAL OFFERS: Couples having their wedding, honeymoon, or vow renewal during the tour may take $250 off their total (wedding) package. Anyone celebrating a birthday during the tour dates may take $100 off the total package price.

The tour visits Snagov Island, where a secluded monastery contains Vlad's coffin. There's a visit to Vlad's birthplace in the best-preserved medieval town in all of Europe, Sighisoara. This is the region of Transylvania where there were attempts to build a "DraculaLand" theme park. While there, the group also ventures into a haunted graveyard, takes part in a witch trial (a re-creation, that is) and also climbs the historic Clock Tower above the Torture Chamber and torture museum. The group explores the historic ruins of Vlad's Poenari Castle, which is as breathtaking as the famed Bran Castle, also on the itinerary.

Ascending up Borgo Pass into the Carpethian Mountains, travelers follow the path of Jonathan Harker, the character described in the Dracula novel. The group partakes in a gala dinner banquet at Jonathan Harker's Golden Crown Restaurant, the Romanian Coroana de Aur, for the ritual meal of robber steak and blood brandy, just like in the novel. In Sibiu, the group visits the Evangelical Church built in 1300, which contains burial vaults in its crypt connected to both Dracula and the legend of Frankenstein.

The group has a late-night party there, but the highlight is unquestionably Dracula's Castle, where travelers from all over the U.S., Canada and overseas experience what is the definitive Monster bash masquerade ball, in the dungeon room in Piatra Fantanele atop the Romanian alps. The costume party is preceded by an outdoor bonfire with music by local gypsy musicians, followed by a six-course meal, culminating with a gala monster mash costume extravaganza and dancing into the early morning hours. It is here that we include your wedding party or vow renewal. Contact us for complete details.

Along the way, horror films are screened on the coaches to add fun to the fear, and every single traveler gets a collectors gift "swag bag" filled with vampire & horror goodies. It's a dream-come-true (or nightmare-come-true) for fans of Dracula or the horror genre, starting at only $1999 per person. Full-priced packages includes airfare, accommodations, meals, special events, admissions, parties, guests, attractions, the complimentary souvenir travel bag filled with goodies. .

and a "bloody" good time is guaranteed for all.

"Dracula Tour" is the only fully-escorted, professionally-guided vacation organized by fans for fans. The annual pilgrimage to the "unholy" land is now accepting reservations for Halloween, 2009 (October 27-November 3), with a similar sensational summer version of the tour slated for July 9-16 (ideal for students, teachers and people in the Halloween or haunt industry). The trip is open to all ages, and welcomes couples, families and solo travelers. There is both educational and entertainment value for anyone looking for an unusual week-long ghoulish getaway. Vampire fans, vampire slayers and perhaps even vampires are obviously all welcome, and all get along harmoniously.

It's really too bad I'll be in Basic Training during those dates, because that would be very interesting to attend.
