Itinerary
Depart from your allocated local pick-up point and meet your friendly, experienced Vista By Coach driver who will look after you throughout your holiday. Sit back, relax and enjoy the journey as the coach travels towards the Kent coast. Comfort stops will be made along the way to stretch your legs, enjoy refreshments and browse facilities.
On arrival in Folkestone, you will check into the Grand Burstin Hotel, perfectly located on the seafront overlooking the harbour. Settle into your room before enjoying your first buffet-style evening meal, followed by time to explore the bar areas where you can take advantage of the nightly 2-for-1 drinks offer. Later, enjoy live cabaret entertainment, a signature feature of the hotel.
After a filling buffet breakfast, rejoin the coach for a leisurely excursion to Hastings, one of England’s most historic and atmospheric seaside towns. Known for its fishing heritage, smugglers’ tales and medieval charm, Hastings offers something for every visitor.
You’ll have ample free time to stroll along the seafront, explore the quaint Old Town, visit the traditional fishing quarter or simply relax with a cup of tea in one of the many cafés. After a full day of sightseeing and leisure, return to the hotel where a delicious buffet dinner, 2-for-1 bar, and evening cabaret await you.
An early buffet breakfast prepares you for a full day’s international excursion. Board the coach for nearby Dover, where you will join the ferry for the comfortable crossing to Calais, France. Once ashore, your driver will take you onwards to the beautiful Belgian coastal city of Ostend, renowned for its wide beaches, elegant promenade, food markets, chocolate shops and boutiques.
Spend time sightseeing, shopping or relaxing by the sea before reboarding the coach. On the return to Calais, enjoy a stop at the famous Pidou Wine Market, offering excellent prices on wines, beers and continental goods.
When boarding the ferry for your return sailing to Dover, even more shopping opportunities are available in the onboard duty-free stores, perfect for those last-minute bargains. Return to the hotel in time for dinner, your final evening of 2-for-1 bar offers, and top-quality cabaret entertainment.
After your final buffet breakfast, it’s time to check out, board the coach and begin your journey home. Comfort stops will be made along the way. Sit back, relax, and reflect on a wonderful holiday to Kent and Belgium with Vista By Coach.
