Day 1 – Meet the Group

The festive tour departs at Ashford International Station in Kent where you will get to meet your fellow travellers. After meeting the group, we make our way to Aachen, Germany for the first night, only a 3 hour driver from the Eurotunnel terminal at Calais. This will give you plenty of time to get to know one another as we travel through France and Belgium as a team. We even get a little glimpse of Plopsaland De Panne as we drive through.

Day 2 – Phantasialand

A bucket list destination for all theme park enthusiasts and even more special during the Winteraum event when catching a night ride on Taron, Black Mamba and F.L.Y. Phantasialand is a fan favourite with world class coasters and an exceptional attention to detail. In the evening we drive down to southern Germany to stay at the Holiday Inn Express Ringsheim, only 5 minutes from Europa Park.

Day 3 – Europa Park

The Golden Ticket winning best theme park in the world is our next stop for 2 days as we experience the excellent Christmas season with the whole park decorated for the event. Set with thousands of Christmas trees, traditional market stalls, lights and night rides, Europa Park in the winter is a must visit location for all theme park fans. In the evening, we head to either the water park Rulantica which is open until 10pm or back to the Holiday Inn Express to chill for another night.

Day 4 – Europa Park

With so much to see and do at Europa Park, a second day is a must as we continue to explore the huge park in the winter season. With more nights rides, shows and festive spirit, our second day will make sure our visit to the world’s best theme park is complete.

The night will see us travel back north towards Phantasialand.

Day 5 – Phantasialand

The evening’s journey will take us to S-Hertogenbosch for 2 nights.
