There has never been a better time to book a holiday due to the strength of the pound , a new study claims today . The cost of a holiday abroad has plummeted over the last two years as the sterling increases in value against dozens of foreign currencies . Research from travel money business , Centtrip , said Britons now got ‘ more bang for their buck ’ than in 2013 after the value of foreign currencies fells against the pound . British holidaymakers now have significantly more spending power in at least 14 major currencies . The study found holidaymakers have significantly more spending power in at least 14 major currencies , including the US dollar , the Australian dollar , the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc . The sterling is also at its highest level against the euro for more than seven years , giving a boost to British families planning holidays on the Continent . It means a family changing £100 through currency exchange will now get 21 euros more than two year ago . Tourists travelling to Russia will get twice as much rouble for £100 as they did in 2013 , receiving almost 9,600 today instead of 4,600 . The sterling is also at its highest level against the euro for more than seven years , giving a boost to British families planning holidays on the Continent . Meanwhile , those travelling to Norway will receive a third more krona for £100 in sterling , rising from around 900 to 1,200 . Those travelling to the US will receive just four dollars more for their £100 , after the pound grew by just 2 per cent against the dollar since 2013 . Brian Jamieson , of Centtrip , said : ‘ We are seeing unprecedented levels of strength in sterling and , as it continues to grow , the power of our spending money whilst holidaying abroad increases . ‘ Many of our customers are locking in current attractive rates and buying Euros to use today or at a later date . A table shows the rise in value that the pound has experienced in the last two years against other currencies . ‘ There has not been a better time for Brits to travel abroad. ’ Centtrip was launched in January and offers a single prepaid MasterCard that can be used to pay in 14 currencies at the actual live currency rates , rather than incurring a bank ’ s conversion charges . Millions of British holidaymakers are expected to take advantage of the strong pound this Easter by booking cheaper breaks in Europe and farther afield . Research by the Daily Mail found that , if the euro continues to fall against the pound , a family of four could save almost £250 on a seven-night city break in Paris this July compared with July last year .
