Cruise Description |
7 Night Cruise sailing from Amsterdam roundtrip aboard River Empress.
Day 1: Amsterdam (Embark)
Day 2: Amsterdam, Lemmer, Harlingen
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.
Choice of Giethoorn, the "Little Venice" of the Netherlands or Lemmer walking tour
In the evening, a special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.
Day 3: Harlingen
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.
Choice of Harlingen "Village Day" or "Let's Go" biking the islands
Day 4: Nijmegen
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.
Day 5: Veere
Once a wealthy city known for its role in Dutch-Scottish wool trade, the Zeeland town of Veere is full of rich, Gothic-style buildings and is known to be particularly pretty.
Choice of Delta Works Museum or "Let’s Go" biking the beach
Day 6: Rotterdam, Schoonhoven
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.
Choice of The Hague with Mauritshuis visit or Delft walking tour and visit to Nieuwe Kerk
Day 7: Schoonhoven, Zaandam, Amsterdam
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.
Choice of Zaanse Schans windmills or Floriade visit
In the evening, a special Captain’s Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.
