The travel company also tipped holidaymakers to make Paris and Rome their first choice destinations for a city break .
"Disneyland Paris is also a key choice especially with Eurostar’s recent move to St Pancras making it more accessible throughout the UK," said a spokesperson for the operator.
"For those looking for something warmer, Monte Carlo, Lisbon, Madrid and Seville are popular with those after a short break in the sun."
She added that sunny Spanish destinations such as Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote are also popular retreats around Easter as they cater to a variety of travellers.
Online travel agent Travel Counsellors revealed the cost of the average holiday taken at Easter increased from £1,533 in 2006 to £2,376 per booking last year.
