For early arrivals, return coach transfers into Amsterdam will be available in the afternoon.

Day 2

Free time to explore Amsterdam and concert - After breakfast, travel to central Amsterdam, where you’ll have the morning and early afternoon free to shop and sightsee. Visit famous sights such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Royal Palace and the renowned Rijksmuseum before being dropped back at the hotel. In the evening, the coach will transfer you to the Ziggo Dome – Amsterdam's largest and most famous indoor concert venue – and you'll take your seat for a spectacular New Year's concert performance by André Rieu. The ‘Waltz King’ will be accompanied by his Johann Strauss Orchestra, choir and soloists, as well as several special guests, and the evening promises to be filled with their trademark waltzes, beautiful melodies from opera, musicals, film and classical music. After this not-to-be-missed experience, the coach will return you to the hotel.

Day 3

Visit to Volendam, free time in Amsterdam and optional Amsterdam Light Festival cruise - After breakfast, you’ll visit the nearby fishing town of Volendam, renowned for its harbour and traditional colourful Dutch houses. You can stroll around the port area with its lively seafood shops and restaurants, see the authentic wooden shoe workshops, and visit the Volendam Museum, showcasing the town’s history. The coach will then return to Amsterdam, and you can choose to get off and spend some time in the city or head back to the hotel. You can also opt to join a memorable canal cruise through Amsterdam’s glittering Light Festival. Step aboard your specialist cruiser, which features floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass roof to provide unobstructed views of the floating installations, before setting off along the city’s winding waterways. Along the way, you’ll witness 20 fascinating works of art lining the canal in the company of a knowledgeable local guide, who’ll explain the history, traditions and meaning behind this extraordinary spectacle. In the early evening, return to your hotel.

Final timings will be confirmed to you in your Final Travel Documents, approximately 10 days prior to departure, though we will make every effort to secure timings close to those indicated when you book.

Passport and ID documentation

Please note you will be asked to supply Passport or ID documentation details for each passenger at the time of booking or as soon thereafter.

Combining hotel transfers

We sometimes need to combine transfers to and from your hotel. We always try to keep any wait to a minimum, but you may be asked to wait at the airport for up to an hour, while other incoming flights arrive, before the transfer to your hotel. Similarly, we may need to transfer you back to the airport up to three hours before your flight home departs.

Special requirements

If you have notified us of any special requirements, please check that they have been noted and acknowledged. This is especially important with any dietary needs you may have.

Disabled access

The majority of our tours involve a certain amount of walking, including a short walk from the coach stop to the town, attraction or venue you're visiting. If you are bringing a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking so that appropriate arrangements can be made.

Airport development fees

An Airport Development Fee has been introduced at a few UK Airports. You will be required to pay this charge at the following airports prior to checking in for your flight: Blackpool, Newquay and Norwich. The amount varies from airport to airport, but it is generally between £5 and £10 per person. Please visit the airport's website for further information.

Visas & Passports

Rules may have changed since you last travelled to European Union countries as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The following are useful guidelines which will help you prepare for your next adventure. You do require government issued passport to travel.

Names - It is very important that all passenger names are exactly as per your passport although we do not require middle names.

Passport - Your passport must meet two requirements to travel to an EU country and to Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. It must be: Less than 10 years old on the day you return home (please check the "date of issue") and valid for at least 3 months after the day you return home (please check the "expiry date").

Visa - You do not need a visa for short trips to most EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. You’ll be able to stay for up to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period.

European Entry/Exit Scheme (EES)

EES is a new digital border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of most European countries. Once introduced, when you go through passport control on arrival, as well as producing your passport for checking, you will also have your photograph taken and fingerprints scanned. The system will register your entry on arrival and your exit when departing. You will only need to do this on your first entry into Europe after the scheme starts.

The EES scheme is not live yet - the latest information can be found at https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees_en. We recommend keeping yourself updated on the planned commencement date and, once live, ensure you are familiar with the process.

For those travelling via Eurostar, there is a dual British and French/Belgian border in operational at St Pancras International. Therefore the EES system will be in place at the station, you will not need to be checked again on arrival at the other side. For further information please visit the ABTA website here.

Please note: Irish passport holders or British Passport holders with an EU residency are currently excluded.

European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS)

Following the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, changes have been planned which affect the eligibility of citizens of the United Kingdom to have visa free travel to the EU. ETIAS travel authorisation is a new entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of the European Union and Schengen counties.

The ETIAS system is not live yet - the latest information can be found at www.etias.com. We recommend keeping yourself updated on the planned commencement date and, once live (and if applicable to you), apply for your ETIAS in good time prior to travel.

Newmarket Holidays will not be able to undertake ETIAS applications on your behalf, so have instead instructed the services of the Travel Visa Company to provide help, should you need it. You can find more information about this service here.

Please note: ETIAS will not be required for UK citizens travelling on our UK and Ireland tours.
