Adventures in Amsterdam

Travel and Tourism students from QE  have been able to experience ‘travel and tourism’ first-hand with a mini cruise to Amsterdam. 15 students attended the trip which included two entertainment-filled evenings on the ferry and a short stay in the Dutch capital where they received a guided tour of the city and had some free time to explore, shop and sample the local food. Back on board, the group enjoyed playing bingo, participating in the music quiz, which they won, dancing to the live band and having their photo taken with the captain.

Julie Vickerman, teacher of Travel and Tourism at QE who accompanied the students on their trip, explains: ‘It was wonderful to be able to give the students the chance to visit a different country and experience travelling by ferry. They were a credit to the College and thoroughly enjoyed themselves; two students have already booked a return trip this summer!’
