About this activity

The year of 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most pivotal moments in World War II, with over 140,000 lives lost or forever changed.

Our journey begins at the Neuville-en-Condroz American Cemetery, where rows of white crosses pay tribute to thousands of U.S. soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice. We then head to Bastogne, a key stronghold during the battle, where you'll visit McAuliffe Square and see an imposing M3 Sherman Tank—a symbol of Allied resilience.

Next, we visit the Mardasson Memorial, a star-shaped monument honoring American soldiers. The nearby Bastogne War Museum (included) offers immersive 3D displays and powerful stories. Our tour also includes a visit to the German cemetery, before moving to the foxholes in Foy, once occupied by the 101st Airborne Division.

This excursion provides an emotional and comprehensive tribute to all who served, connecting you deeply to this defining moment in WWII.
