Itinerary
Your cruise is about to begin! It's time to make your way to Southampton, if you haven't already. To reach Southampton from London, you can take a train from London Waterloo to Southampton Central, with the journey taking around 1.5 hours - that's approximately 128 km's (80 miles). Alternatively if you're travelling by coach or have arranged a private transfer, please allow around 2 hours for the journey. Once in Southampton, the cruise terminals are within a short taxi ride from the station.
Edgier than Amsterdam, with a raw energy that emanates from its busy port, the Netherlands’ second-largest city has reinvented itself since much of it was flattened in World War II. Today, Rotterdam is full of arresting architecture. Cross the Erasmus Bridge, with its futuristic silhouette, before strolling past the yellow Cube Houses. The arch-shaped Markthal also impresses, with its reflective ceiling in a kaleidoscope of colors curving above stalls selling food from around the world. As for art, you’ll find plenty everywhere from the Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot to the vibrant street murals.
Sitting on the Elbe River, the city of Hamburg is known for being one of the biggest harbors of the European continent. You can explore its eclectic culture and learn its history while strolling and visiting the St. Nikolai Memorial or the Museum for Hamburg History. Dive into more modern delights among its design-forward buildings or by enjoying the many cultural events.
The quirky and heritage-filled Hamburg is a true city of water, nestled snugly between the Baltic and North seas and intersected by a frayed network of rivers and canals, spanned by hundreds of pretty bridges. Explore the Speicherstadt, the world’s largest warehouse district and a UNESCO site, known for its neo-gothic architecture.
The nearby Elbphilharmonie concert hall is impressive with its striking design and views over the Elbe River. For a taste of local life, visit the lively Fish Market or stroll along the waterfront at Landungsbrücken, where ferries offer scenic river cruises along the canals.
