Day 1
(Sat.) Board your overnight flight to Amsterdam.
Day 2 Arrive in Amsterdam, Holland. (Embarkation)
(Sun.) Welcome to Amsterdam! Holland’s capital is sophisticated and modern, with a rich and fascinating history. This delightful 700-year-old city with its elegant and classic architecture, cafés, restaurants, and lively marketplace has a distinct ambiance. The works of famous Dutch masters can be seen in worldrenowned museums such as the Rijksmuseum or the Van Gogh. This afternoon, the crew of your vessel waits to welcome you aboard. (D)
Day 3 Arnhem–Dordrecht
(Mon.) One of the major tragedies of World War II was the Battle of Arnhem, featured vividly in the AIRBORNE MUSEUM HARTENSTEIN and the inspiration for the movie A Bridge Too Far. Sitting between two branches of the Rhine, charming Dordrecht inspired many painters in the 17th and 18th centuries. Nearby is KINDERDIJK with its picturesque row of windmills. (FB,L,D)
Day 4 Antwerp, Belgium
(Tue.) Antwerp is Belgium’s secondlargest city and one of the world’s most important ancient seaports. Its superb architecture, the GROTE MARKT with its beautiful city hall, and the Church of Our Lady make this city well worth a visit. An optional excursion to nearby Brussels, Belgium’s capital and home of the European Union, is available. (FB,L,D)
Day 5 Ghent
(Wed.) In a unique way, Ghent, the “diamond” of Flanders, has managed to preserve its medieval charm and power while keeping up with the times. The city center alone is a showcase of medieval Flemish wealth and commercial success. From here, an optional excursion to fascinating Bruges, with its criss-crossed canals and charming old patrician houses, is available. (FB,L,D)
Day 6 Middelburg, Holland–Veere–Delta Works
(Thu.) It is certain that Middelburg was originally built as a stronghold to protect the population of Zeeland from the water and enemies. Later, it became a prosperous merchant city with great wealth invested in the construction of important buildings such as the town hall. The eye-catching high tower of the town hall dominates the charming town of Veere, which was once an important wool-trading center. One of the most complex engineering projects, the DELTA WORKS, is located nearby. After the flood of 1953, during which more than 1,800 people drowned in one night, the Delta Plan was born to prevent another disaster of this magnitude. The final defense in the battle against the water is the storm flood barrier, almost six miles long and considered a technical miracle. The project took 30 years to complete. (FB,L,D)
Day 7 Rotterdam. Excursion to Keukenhof Gardens
(Fri.) Rotterdam is a bustling port city that was leveled by German bombs in WWII. Today, it has a modern, high-tech look and boasts the world’s busiest port. The gardens of KEUKENHOF near Lisse encompass over 70 acres of parkland with lakes, sculpture gardens, greenhouses, and a Windmill to explore. Millions of flower bulbs are grown here that present a spectacular display of blooms every year. (FB,L,D)
Day 8 Amsterdam–Volendam. Excursion to Edam
(Sat.) There is no better way to see Amsterdam than by CANAL BOAT, cruising through the elegant grachten lined with stately homes dating back to Amsterdam’s “Golden Age.” To the north of the city, located on the IJsselmeer, is Volendam, a maze of fishermen’s houses built on poles and a unique open harbor. The small timbered church dates back to 1658. Edam cheese has become famous worldwide, and cheese markets are still held in the town of Edam in the summer months. The old town center, especially the Kwakelsteeg, features lovely characteristic Waterland houses. (FB,L,D)
Day 9Amsterdam (Disembarkation)
(Sun.) Your homebound flight arrives the same day. (FB) |
