Your Dutch adventure begins in Amsterdam,
where you will embark in the afternoon. After a Welcome Cocktail and a celebratory Welcome Dinner, you will get to enjoy a performance on board by a traditional shanty choir, setting the mood for the days to come.

The bridge of Arnhem

Voted “greenest city in Europe“, Arnhem rebuilt itself after the famed 1944 battle immortalized in the film “A Bridge Too Far“, and is now a thriving artists‘ town with fine museums and beautiful parks. Choose to join the morning city tour to appreciate its beautiful sights and delve deeper into the history of World War II at the War Museum.

Later in the day, choose between a trip to the Open Air Museum with views of charming Dutch buildings, industries and crafts of bygone times and the Kröller-Müller-Museum, housing the second-largest collection of Van Gogh paintings in the world. Relax on board in the evening, enjoying a delicious dinner as your vessel cruises onwards to Middelburg.

Gothic town hall in Middelburg & Delta Works

Before lunchtime, your cruise ship will dock in Middelburg. As one of the centers where the Dutch East India Company flourished in the 17th century, this lovely city features historic merchant houses and storefronts lining its canals. This afternoon, take part in a guided walking tour and learn more about its history and culture, or visit Netherland's “morn wonder of the world,“ the Delta Works, which protect the southwest of the country from the sea.
Continue to the historic village of Veere.

Historic old town of Ghent and Bruges

During the night, your vessel will dock in Ghent, the ultimate medieval city, which you can explore in the morning. Admire architecture preserved since the late Middle Ages and visit 13th century residence of the Counts of Flanders, the Gravensteen or “Castle of the Counts“.

In the afternoon, join the excursion to Bruges, the capital of the province of West Flanders. With its cobbled streets, crooked bridges, meandering canals and World Heritage-listed medieval buildings, the Belgian city of Bruges is bursting with fantastic 12% brews, boutique chocolate-makers and canalside bars. There's also the Basilica of the Holy Blood, a double-decker chapel which has a Romanesque church down below and a neo-Gothic church up above.

Diamonds of Antwerp & Brussels Atomium

Antwerp, the second-largest city in Belgium, welcomes you today. After breakfast, join the excursion to the politically and culturally significant city of Brussels. View the iconic Atomium, which was created for the 1958 Brussels World's Fair and, thanks to its popularity, was not torn down as originally planned.
Visit the Cinquantenaire Park with its triumphal arch, built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Belgium's independence.

In the afternoon, explore Antwerp in a comfortable coach. Famous for its diamond trade, the city also boasts many cultural highlights such as the Cathedral of Our Lady with paintings by the famous Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens. In the evening, enjoy dinner, while your vessel returns to the Netherlands.

Visit Keukenhof, the world's largest flower garden

Early morning, your ship will arrive in Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands. After breakfast, you can pay a visit to Kinderdijk, which houses the most unique windmill complex in the world. Built to drain water from the soil, these windmills are now protected by UNESCO and are one of the Netherlands' most popular tourist destinations. After lunch, you can explore the world–famous Keukenhof gardens. During dinner, the ship departs for the final leg of the cruise back to Amsterdam.

City tour Amsterdam and Cheese Tasting

Amsterdam welcomes you back today with its enchanting blend of old-world charm and contemporary allure. In the morning, cruise through the lovely, verdant canals of Amsterdam while learning more about the city's history and significance.

After lunch, you can visit Waterland in North Holland, where you will stop in the charming fishing village of Volendam and the equally picturesque town of Edam. Renowned for its cheeses, this is the perfect spot for a cheese tasting (included in the excursion). This evening, the festive Captain's Gala Dinner will provide a fitting finish to the day.

Disembarkation after breakfast
