Any suggestions would be much appreciated and

Hi Diarmiud,
Many thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately I am unable to price or book individual holidays. I suggest contacting your local travel agent as it is a busy time so they will be able to check availability and prices for you.
Best of luck
