Because great holidays don’t have to cost the Earth…

It’s that time of the year again with Christmas festivities hiding just around the corner. So with that in mind we’re sending you on Traincation to Rotterdam this week…

Kerstcircus, Rotterdam
Have a Christmas you won’t forget in a hurry and celebrate in Rotterdam at their circus themed event Kerst Circus. The team at Christmas Circus Ahoy promise you a brilliant festive time to finish the year in a fantastic fashion. The event runs December 21- 30 and there will be a whole host of events each evening from x to x.

There will also be amazing air acrobatics to keep you on the edge of your seat and plenty of laughs with the clowns funny antics. Each night there will even be a variety of different live bands to have a boogie with.

If you want something different to do during the festive period this is definitely for you – bring all the family as it’s perfect for the young and old alike.

Getting there
Sleep at sea – get an overnight rail and sail deal on the Dutch Flyer. Leave London in the evening on Friday and hop on a train from Liverpool Street to Harwich International. From there catch the ferry (pictured) to Holland, with two brilliant restaurants, bars, shops, a cinema and free Wi-Fi all on board. At Hoek van Holland Haven there is a connecting rail service to Rotterdam Centraal Station. Enjoy the circus!

/ Turn up the style (not the heat) /
/ Love the trend (not the spend) /
/ Do it in public (not the car/plane) /
