Your Holiday Itinerary

4-Day Break

  • Day 1 – Local departure by coach then travel to Belgium for three nights.
  • Day 2 – Bruges (included). With its meandering, cobbled lanes lined with medieval almhouses, beautiful squares dominated by guild houses and churches, and pretty humpbacked bridges crossing the charming canals, Bruges is regarded as one of Europe’s finest, preserved medieval cities. We later travel to Ostend, where the Carnival begins this evening with ‘Cimateire Night’, a costumed parade through the town. B
  • Day 3 – Ostend and Dead Rat Ball (included). Enjoy leisure time in Ostend, widely known as the ‘Queen of Belgian resorts’. Stroll along the promenade and explore the shops, cafés and restaurants. We return to our hotel to get ready for the Dead Rat Ball (Bal Rat Mort), held every year at the casino in Ostend. Some 2,500 visitors enjoy a themed party evening which was originally created by James Ensor over 100 years ago and inspired by Parisian cabaret during a trip to Montmartre in 1896. Dress is either black tie evening-wear or fancy dress (the theme for 2009 was ‘Arabian Nights’). B
  • Day 4 – A leisurely morning after the previous evening’s celebrations. Return to Calais, then home B
