Itinerary

We catch the ferry to Calais and travel on for check in at our hotel, where we stay on a bed and breakfast basis.

We set off for Maastricht, where we enjoy some time at leisure. Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, full of churches, city walls, merchant houses and atmospheric squares. There is also a variety of shops, from chic boutiques to larger shopping malls – so there is plenty to enjoy. Later, we head to the MECC Maastricht for the highlight of our break, the spectacular André Rieu concert. Before the curtain rises, there's time to get into the festive spirit with a delightful Christmas Market, featuring a range of food and drink options, twinkly lights and even a small skating rink. We then take our seats for the show, where the violin maestro performs his most celebrated waltzes, along with other spellbinding classical music, Christmas carols plus a surprise or two. Sing along and dance in the aisles to what promises to be a musical extravaganza to remember, made even more special in the setting of André’s hometown. After the show, we rejoin the coach and return to the hotel.

Today we visit an enchanting Christmas market or a festive European town. It's the perfect chance to get in the festive spirit, meandering through traditional shops and stalls with a glass of mulled wine or warming hot chocolate in hand, enjoying tasty local treats and stocking up on Christmas presents. There's time to choose a local restaurant for dinner at your leisure before returning to our hotel.

After breakfast we check out of our hotel and head back to Calais for our return ferry home.


Accommodation

We’ll stay at a selected hotel in Belgium, Germany or the Netherlands (JG3 or JG4 rating) All rooms are en suite and facilities include a bar and restaurant.

Hotel Rating

Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services. Bedrooms are designed to make your stay the most comfortable possible and the staff provide a service that reflects the detail and quality. You can also expect higher standards of food and beverages.
