Veterans' Salute in Branson

DAY 1: WELCOME TO BRANSON!

This afternoon check in to the Grand Oaks Hotel for a two-night stay. Visit Shepherd of the Hills and enjoy the Million Dollar Quartet Dinner Show. This fan-favorite Rock ’n‘ Roll show, based on the Tony award-winning production, takes you back to 1956 in the Sun Records Studios. Experience the legendary jam session with Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis, brought to life with hits like “Great Balls of Fire,” “Hound Dog,” “I Walk the Line,” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On.” D

DAY 2: IT'S SHOWTIME!

Attend Dublin’s Irish Tenors & Celtic Ladies Christmas Show. This treasured Branson tradition features an uplifting musical journey with traditional Irish classics and Christmas favorites such as “Christmas in Killarney,” “Mary Did You Know,” “O’ Holy Night,” “What Child is This,” “O Come All Ye Faithful,” and “Ave Maria.” Enjoy lunch at the Ball Parks Of America Veterans Village with time after to visit the Vendors at the Village. See Dolly’s Stampede Dinner Theatre, a magical fantasy land with twinkling lights, evergreens, poinsettias, holiday costumes, and music. Enjoy a festive four course yuletide feast with creamy vegetable soup, biscuit, rotisserie chicken, pork loin, corn on the cob, 1/2 basted potato, apple pastry, and beverages. The show includes playful North Pole vs. South Pole competitions, and a dramatic live nativity scene with three kings riding atop camels on their way to Bethlehem. Drive through the Lights of Joy Christmas Display. B, L, D

DAY 3: VETERANS' DAY AT COLLEGE OF THE OZARKS

Tour the College of the Ozarks and Patriots Park with a student guide. The College of the Ozarks is unique in that students work, rather than pay, to help defray their educational expenses. Explore the campus, including Williams Memorial Chapel, Patriots Park, Greenhouses, the Mill, Fruitcake and Jelly Kitchen, and more. In honor of women veterans in all branches of service, attend the Rose Petal Ceremony, in recognition for your military service to America. Includes entertainment, key note speaker, luncheon and an auction. Return safely to St. Louis knowing you were honored for your service and patriotism. B, L

Other General Information
We will send 3 key communications for your tour; “Get Ready” is your email confirmation and initial tour information sent upon registration, “Get Set” email will be sent about two months before departure, “Go” trip documentation mailing is sent via USPS 3-4 weeks before departure and will include your daily itinerary, luggage tags and final departure information.

Travel Protection is optional and highly recommended and can be purchased until the day before departure. We offer Travel Guard from AIG, which costs 8.5% of your tour, information about which will be sent with your Get Ready email.

Unless otherwise noted, your Sunrise Tour includes: Professional Sunrise Tour Director, meals as indicated, local step on guides including gratuity (international tour guide gratuity inclusion vary by tour), deluxe motorcoach transportation w/rest room, admission to activities and events as indicated, airfare from designated airports, transportation to/from designated airports from our convenient local pickup points*, luggage handling at hotels when available

We believe tipping is a personal and discretionary interaction between our guests and our staff. A typical gratuity for your Sunrise Tour Director and motorcoach driver may be $5-$7per person, per day on tour. Sunrise Shuttle drivers appreciate gratuities (suggest $5 per person) for excellent service as well. Our staff will not solicit gratuities or pass out envelopes.

We are happy to offer refreshments on most motorcoach travel days on tour. We recommend you bring a refillable water bottle to maintain healthy hydration.

If less than 4 people request a pickup point, we may ask that you choose another pickup point from which to join your Sunrise Tour.

If you would like to join a tour from a city not listed as a departure point, we would love to have you along! Please discuss arrangements with our friendly reservation team. From a departure city not listed, typical airfare will be +$100 higher than our published fare for domestic tours, and +$200 for international tours.

If you have a TSA precheck or Airline Rewards numbers, you MUST give those numbers to our reservations team at least 60 days before departure, otherwise they may not be applied.

Preferred seating may not be available on group air. In some cases, seats are not assigned until the airport. Your tour fare includes an economy seat on the flight; it does not include seat selection. Seat upgrades may be available at an additional cost.

To help make our tours the most comfortable in the business, we limit Sunrise Tours motorcoaches to 80% capacity, or 44 passengers on a coach built for 55. We reserve the right to amend this practice.

Your Tour Director will rotate seats on the motorcoach each day of your tour. A single fare does not guarantee two seats on the coach; you may be seated next to another friendly Sunrise Tours guest.
