Itinerary
Day 1 to day 4
Day 1 – Journey to Belgium/Germany/the Netherlands
We catch the ferry to Calais and travel on to check in at our hotel, where we stay on a bed and breakfast basis. We have time to choose a local restaurant for dinner.
Day 2 – Maastricht & André Rieu concert
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 big squares. There are also plenty of shops, from chic boutiques to larger shopping malls. We head to the MECC Maastricht for the highlight of our break, the spectacular André Rieu concert. The violin maestro will perform his most celebrated waltzes, along with other spellbinding classical music, Christmas carols plus a surprise or two. Sing and dance along in 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.
Day 3 – Christmas market
Today we travel to an enchanting Christmas market. Meander through a sea of traditional stalls with a glass of festive cheer or warming hot chocolate in hand, enjoy a tasty treat and browse the selection of handicrafts, original trinkets and other curios. We have time to choose a local restaurant for dinner before returning to our hotel.
Day 4 – Journey
home After breakfast we check out of our hotel and head back to Calais for our return ferry home.

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.
