HOLLAND’S 81st TULIP TIME. . . again expanded to include The Coasters, Platters, Drifters & Starship
Thursday - Saturday May 6 - 8, 2010
$488 per person ($98 single supplement)
Each year this expanded tour proves that there’s a certain romance with
the tulip . . . the fascination is in the color and quaintness of old Holland
transplanted to America. This special package includes three shows (two with
“big name headliners”) including a total of four popular groups, a parade and
more meals than virtually any other tour you may see offered. We even have
reserved parking, right up by the parade route, so that you’ll have less
distance to walk to your reserved seats for the parade.
We’ll be enjoying Windmill Island with its 100,000 tulips, which are a beauty to
behold. Always impressive, DeZwaan, America’s only 249-year-old Dutch windmill,
stands tall over the gardens. There will be costumed dancers, candle carving and
a replica of a 227-year-old Dutch Inn. Other stops will include Veldheer Tulip
Gardens and DeKlomp Wooden Shoe & Delft Factory. In the Dutch tradition, the
streets of Holland are actually “swept and mopped” before the hundreds of
Klompen Dancers perform for us. For a “little extra touch”, our Guide will be
taking you aboard our motorcoach along the eight-mile Tulip Trail, pointing out
the brightest of arrangements and gardens.
There are some great shows offered this year so we’ve expanded the tour to
include these shows, with some of the country’s top headliners . . . the
history-making and record-breaking The Coasters, The Drifters and The Platters
singing many of their Top 40 tunes and “Church Basement Ladies”, a
musical-comedy. We also have tickets to enjoy “Starship”, a group whose every
album went “Platinum”. Some of their hits included “We Built This City”, “Sara”
and “Nothing’s Going to Stop Us Now”. A total of five meals, one of which is a
Manager’s Evening Reception at the hotel, are included.
