Your Holiday Programme:

Monday
After leaving your chosen departure point around early morning, you'll take a lunchtime channel crossing to France and check into your Belgian hotel in Ostend late afternoon. You'll then have time to settle into your room before dinner.

Tuesday - Breendonk Concentration Camp
This morning you can take a leisurely tour of the 'Atlantic Wall' museum near Ostend, with its remaining wartime defences.   During the afternoon, you'll leave Ostend for Breendonk near Antwerp to partake in a guided visit of its infamous German Concentration Camp, now preserved as a full-scale memorial.

Wednesday - Arnhem & Nijmegen
After an early breakfast this morning, you'll retrace the steps of the 1st British Airborne Division as you visit the Dutch towns of Arnhem and Nijmegen. Here in September 1944 our paratroops tried to capture the 'Bridge Too Far' in operation 'Market Garden'.Free time will be available to visit the Hartstein Museum before returning to Ostend

Thursday - Dunkirk & La Coupole
Dunkirk is your destination this morning, where you'll have an opportunity to see the famous evacuation beaches, before continuing into France to La Coupole, where Hitler planned to launch his V2 rocket attacks on England. Here you'll take a tour deep into the hillside to see the assembly plants, rocket storage areas and launching pads, as well as watching detailed film footage of the war in this area. 

Friday
You can either spend this morning at leisure in Ostend, or join our optional excursion to historic Bruges. This beautiful Flemish City has more miles of canalways than Venice and is famous for its preserved mediaeval buildings, fine traditional lace making and delicious Belgian chocolates. During the afternoon you'll leave Belgium for your channel crossing to England, arriving within your home area the same evening.

Your Holiday Hotels
Situated in the very heart of Ostend, your carefully chosen accommodation belongs to either the Westminster or Admiral group of hotels.

They are all of a very good standard and offer well furnished rooms with the luxury of private shower & toilet facilities en-suite. They have well-stocked bars, comfortable lounges, T.V. rooms and spotlessly clean dining restaurants where breakfast and dinner are served throughout your stay.
