Itinerary

Arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.

We'll leave Amsterdam in the morning and head to the Province of Friesland in the northern corner of the Netherlands. Today we visit Lemmer, a resort town popular with Europe's yacht-owners and water sport enthusiasts. (WD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Giethoorn, the "Little Venice" of the Netherlands OR Goat Boat

Note: In the evening, a special Captain's Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.

The only seaport left in Friesland, Harlingen is a bustling fishing center and the launch point for ferries to local islands. A quaint town, its canals are filled with sailboats and lined by traditional Dutch houses and historic buildings. Harlingen's beaches are an excellent place to relax and breathe in the salted air of the Wadden Sea.

Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands, having begun as an old Roman military camp over 2,000 years ago. Very close to the German border, its situation between the Meuse and Waal rivers renders its countryside particularly lush. In town, you'll find hints of its Roman roots and Medieval castles. Notwithstanding its long history, Nijmegen is known for its upbeat and trendy atmosphere.

Named for William of Orange, who added the heptagonal town fortifications you'll still find standing today, this city in the North Brabant province is a picture-perfect piece of history.

Despite having been destroyed during World War II, Rotterdam is now the largest seaport in Europe. When plans began to rebuild the city, Rotterdam decided to look towards the future. Known for its contemporary style, this city is unique in the Netherlands for being full of skyscrapers and whimsical architecture.

Featured Excursions: Choice of The Hague with Mauritshuis Visit OR Dutch Culinary Stroll of Rotterdam's Market Hall OR Rotterdam, City of the Future OR The Little Art Palace OR Visit Famous Delft

We'll start our journey for the day in Zaandam, where the Netherlands of yesteryear can be found in authentic wooden houses, windmills and craft shops. Then we return to Amsterdam, whose creative and unique local culture makes it one of the most sought-after destinations in Europe. (FD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Nights Out: Amsterdam Canal Cruise OR Zaanse Schans Windmills OR Anne Frank House Visit OR Dutch Cheese Trail OR Say Cheese!
