Itinerary
Today we’ll meet in the heart of London, throwing high fives to each other in recognition of the epic decision we all made to kick off the new year in Amsterdam. Let’s do this! Shortly before jumping on our ferry for France, we’ll be taking in the English coastline beauty of the White Cliffs of Dover, that owe their colour to a composition of chalk. Off the ferry we arrive in the port town of Calais - French soil! We travel north via Belgium before reaching ... Amsterdam! Home of good times and cuteness galore. Fun fact: the city has 1539 bridges, 165 canals, and 2500 house boats. Yes, you read that right, and it's all here for you to explore. After dinner, opt to take the A'DAM lookout swing, an incredible observation deck with unrivalled panoramas of the twinkling lights of Amsterdam below. Later, the night is yours to start getting familiar with the scene that will ring in your best night of the year - we're calling it early!
NYE in NL? Free day in A'dam? Time to dig out your bucket list and tick it all of this morning. Afterwards, we’ll hit the town to bring the New Year home in style – with free club entry.
Exploring, eating, chilling – that’s what’s in store for us today. You'll have a free morning to check out Amsterdam’s famous STRAAT Museum (or just do some shopping/chilling if you prefer.) Then, we'll head off to the countryside for a taste of tradition (and cheese.) We’ll visit a local clog and cheesemaker's house to learn how two of the country's most famous symbols are made. Later tonight, we'll have the opportunity to indulge in a traditional Dutch dinner. Followed by treating ourselves to drinks as we cruise through the canals, as we see the city illuminated by night.
Pack your bags and get ready for a nice long nap, or a lot of reminiscing with the squad and a chat about a reunion tour for next year on our ride back to London. Amsterdam NYE friends, we salute you! You rang in the new year in ultimate wanderlusting spirit by kicking it in Amsterdam. Carry on adventuring your way through the next 12 months and you can’t go wrong.
