When we took many fans to the old “World Finals” we always included a QUALITY bus tour of Europe, leaving from many UK towns, and using the overnight sea crossings as part of the holiday. For the first time in 14 years we are re-introducing a relaxing..no-flying..12 day tour of Europe, including 3 World Cup events and a Poland League match. Our tour in association with the Mercedes 48 seater bus of EURORIDER takes in GERMANY-POLAND-BERLIN-DENMARK. A wonderful mid summer holiday to suit all tastes.

Thursday 22 July 2010
Your top of the range Eurorider Mercedes coach will make various pick-ups across the country (please see the list), before arriving in Harwich early evening. For those travelling from other parts of the country, there is an extensive car park at Harwich and also a direct rail service from London.
Our STENA LINE sailing departs late evening for the overnight crossing to Holland. A choice of Cabin berth is included in your holiday cost.

Friday
After docking around breakfast, we head off on the fast motorway system initially through Holland, into Germany, passing Hanover and onto our overnight base at the charming town of BRAUNSCHWEIG. Our comfortable hotel is in the heart of this Hanoverian town, and ideal for a relaxing summer evening dinner in one of the nearby restaurants.

Saturday & Sunday
We are approx 4hrs from our base in Poland and our fast autobahn route takes us past Berlin, and onto the speedy border crossing into Poland. These days there is no long wait, and we hope to be at our base in GORZOW mid afternoon. Our 4 star QUBUS hotel is centrally situated, close to the main bars and restaurants of this old town.
WORLD CUP SPEEDWAY action tonight as we make the short evening transfer to the GORZOW stadium, and the European Qualifying round of the WORLD CUP, featuring of course TEAM POLAND. The GORZOW stadium has had a huge rebuild, in time for a Grand Prix in 2011, and it now rates amongst the very best in Poland.
Sunday is of course “Speedway day” in Poland, and with so many tracks in the immediate vicinity, we will have a choice of tracks operating in Division one and Division two.

Monday-Thursday
We depart GORZOW late morning for a short 3hr transfer to BERLIN, one of the most pivotal names in modern European history. Crossing back into Germany our route takes us past the old East German border and through the still developing “East” before arriving in central Berlin and our 3 night stop at BERLIN’S LARGEST HOTEL the impressive PARK HOTEL, superbly situated close to Alexander Platz in the very heart of the city.
BERLIN has an amazing choice of restaurants & entertainment to suit everyone and our great base will allow everyone not only time for personal visits but also a relaxing 2 full days. On Tuesday we INCLUDE a fabulous BERLIN CITY tour…taking in the BRANDENBURG GATE… RIECHSTAG..BERLIN WALL..UNTER DEN LINDEN..and with our English speaking guide, the whole of old/modern history will be covered. We will be staying in central Berlin, and keeping the whole of Wednesday free for you to relax and soak up the summer sunshine.

Thursday-Sunday.
WORLD CUP PLAY OFF
WORLD CUP FINAL

Leaving after breakfast, our autobahn route takes us back into the Old East and onwards to HAMBURG for a lunch stop. Later our motorway takes us into DENMARK and onwards to VEJLE..a brand new base for us. This lovely town in Eastern Jutland is just 30 minutes from VOJENS…and Thursday evening will see the WORLD CUP PLAY OFF meeting where OLE OLSEN has arranged excellent stadium places for us. The town is attractive and our HOTEL AUSTRALIA is the largest and best positioned in town.
On Friday we will take a short drive to ODENSE..The home of HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN... and also the base for a wonderful STEAM RAILWAYS Museum.
Saturday is WORLD CUP FINAL day, with all roads and fans heading to VOJENS and the major team meeting of the year. With DENMARK being a one of the pre-meeting favourites…just who will push them for the crown?

Sunday 1-Monday 2 August 2010
Your holiday is far from finished, and our return to HARWICH will be on board the award winning SCANDINAVIAN SEAWAYS direct from ESBJERG across a sunny North Sea back to Harwich.
The ship is known for its comfort, and your mini cruise will be an enjoyable part of the actual holiday. Again Cabin berths have been booked.
