Release Summary: Stena Line, a leading ferry
operator is offering families the chance to get festive in Holland,
with a Dutch Christmas experience
Press Release Body: Leading ferry operator Stena Line is offering
families the chance to experience a Dutch Christmas this festive
period, by combining a dose of European culture with the Christmas
shopping in one stress-free family weekend.
Stena
Line is encouraging families to take advantage of
a relaxing overnight Friday ferry crossing in a comfortable family
cabin to awake after a good night’s sleep on Saturday morning
in Holland, ready to drive to an array of Christmas markets or
experience the unique Sinterklaas festival.
By
taking the ferry route from Harwich
to the Hook of Holland, friends and families can escape the
crowds in the high street this Christmas and visit the Dordrecht
Christmas market, which is one of the biggest in Holland and just
a short drive from the Hook of Holland in a small town near Rotterdam.
Holidaymakers can wander through this open-air market along the
historical streets and squares of Dordrecht and be entertained
by live music, activities in and around the Great Church (Grote
Kerk), and marvel at the stunning Christmas decorations.
One of the most spectacular Christmas
events in Holland occurs at Valkenburg’s limestone caves.
In the weeks leading up to Christmas these are transformed into
glittering Christmas grottoes. Holidaymakers can sample an array
of local foods such as oliebollen (Dutch doughnut) poffertjes
(small pancakes) and try Glühwein, a hot, spiced wine whilst
searching through the grottoes to find the perfect gifts for friends
and family back home.
Holidaymakers can experience the
festive celebrations and return with a car full of Dutch delights
for Christmas Eve on December 24.
