A Canadian story ...
​ 

​The Liberation of Holland was brought about primarily by the Canadians, a monumental struggle of service and sacrifice in the pursuit of democracy & freedom. Canadians signed up from across our country, joining forces to sail across the Atlantic to liberate a people they did not know.

​As many Dutch people of that generation will say, "thank God they came."

The only royal born in Canada ...
​ 

The Dutch royal family found refuge in Canada during the war, where in January 1943 Princess Margriet was born. Meanwhile overseas, more than 7600 Canadians would fall in the 9-month battle to bring freedom. 

The Dutch people have never forgotten - each spring they send 20,000 tulips to Ottawa, a heartfelt gesture signalling an unbroken friendship which endures through the generations. 

Events moved to 2021 ...
​

Most of the commemoration and celebration events which had been planned for the spring of 2020 have not been cancelled, only postponed ...

The Netherlands will mark this next major anniversary as 75+1 Years of Liberation! It will be an experience of admiration and respect like no other - it will be a truly emotional journey.

Our annual 'signature' tour ...
​

Each year Liberation Tours takes Canadians back to Holland to reflect, remember, and in particular to honour those who fell - and who are forever laid to rest in Dutch soil. Now, 76 years later, you will become part of this enduring connection between our two nations.

There is perhaps no better place to be a proud Canadian than Holland in the spring.

Our annual Northwest Europe battlefield tour is the most comprehensive tour of its kind - a pilgrimage to the Canadian battlefields of both WW1 and WW2 where Canada came of age as a nation and forged a reputation as the army to be called upon for some of the most difficult and challenging battles. This is our annual signature tour, ideal for those making their first trek to the battlefields and hoping to visit most of the significant points of interest in a single trip. It's also a great trip for those who wish to make a repeat visit, and be in Holland for the anniversary. It is the ideal time of year to visit the battlefields, with western Europe coming into full bloom.

If you were to make only one Canadian battlefield tour, this is it.​

Follow in their footsteps ...
​

You will be part of a typically all-Canadian group, mostly couples. Read what past travelers have said about our trips. It's time to renew your romance in Europe, beginning in Paris and concluding in beautiful Amsterdam. 

Join us for an unforgettable, life-changing journey to follow in the footsteps of the great Canadian liberators ... and commemorate and celebrate the Liberation of Holland ... "75+1."
