    The Royal Astrid Hotel, Ostend

    The Royal Astrid Hotel in Ostend offers a welcoming and relaxing base for your stay. Located just 50 metres from the sandy beaches, the hotel features a 1,000 m² spa and wellness centre, including an indoor swimming pool, various saunas, hammams, jacuzzis, steam baths, and relaxation areas. Guests can enjoy half-board meals in the hotel’s restaurant and unwind with a drink in the cosy bar. The hotel has a lift for easy access to its 173 comfortably furnished rooms, all equipped with modern amenities to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable stay.


    🌊 Zeeland & The Maritime Museum

    Your visit to Zeeland offers the chance to enjoy some free time for lunch before getting to know more about this historic and coastal part of the Netherlands on a guided city walk. With its strong links to the sea and wartime history, Zeeland has a distinctive character, shaped by both its waterfront setting and the events that unfolded here during the war.

    The visit also includes Uncle Beach, an important Allied landing site during Operation Infatuate, along with entrance to the Zeeland Maritime Museum with audio tour included. Together, they provide a fascinating insight into both the region’s military significance and its long-standing relationship with the sea.


    🪖 Dunkirk, Passchendaele & Tyne Cot

    This part of the tour brings together some of the most powerful and significant battlefield sites of the two World Wars. In Dunkirk, your guided visit and entrance to the Dunkirk 1940 Museum offer a moving insight into Operation Dynamo and the events surrounding one of the most famous evacuations of the war.

    You will also visit Passchendaele Museum, including the museum itself and its reconstructed trenches, before continuing to Tyne Cot on a guided visit. Together, these sites help bring the history into sharp focus, giving a deeper understanding of the scale, hardship and lasting legacy of the battles fought there.


    🌺 IFFM & Reflection at Menin Gate

    The In Flanders Fields Museum offers one of the most thought-provoking and memorable insights into the First World War, using personal stories, artefacts and displays to explore the human impact of the conflict. With your guided tour included, this visit adds even greater depth and understanding to one of the most important museums in the Ypres Salient.

    Later, there is the opportunity to attend the Reflection at Menin Gate ceremony, a deeply moving experience in one of the most symbolic locations of the war. For many visitors, this becomes one of the most memorable moments of the entire tour, offering a chance to pause and reflect on the sacrifice of those who lost their lives.


    🕯️ Fort Breendonk Concentration Camp

    Fort Breendonk is one of the most sobering and important sites on the tour, offering a powerful insight into a darker chapter of wartime history. Originally built as a military fort, it was later used by the Nazis as a prison and transit camp, and today stands as a place of remembrance and reflection.

    With both entrance and a guided tour included, the visit helps bring the history of the site into clear and respectful focus. It is not an easy place to visit, but it is an important one, leaving a lasting impression through its stark atmosphere and the stories connected to it.
