After joining our coach, we make our way to Dover for the Channel crossing to France. We continue our journey into Belgium, where we arrive to board our river cruise ship in Antwerp. After settling into your cabins, you'll meet the crew over a welcome cocktail before an evening of refined dining.
Today, discover the old city of Antwerp, a captivating destination with medieval roots, elegant architecture and a long-standing reputation as the heart of Belgium's diamond industry. Stroll through its historic streets and soak up the atmosphere of this stylish and vibrant city before returning to the comfort of our ship. This afternoon, we set sail towards Rotterdam, cruising through small inland seas and passing through vast locks as we journey deeper into the Dutch waterways, arriving in the evening. Tonight, we celebrate in style with a special gala dinner and an enjoyable evening on board.
Explore the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens today, considered to be the most beautiful spring flower park, showcasing over seven million bulbs each year. While tulips are the star of the show, you'll also find a stunning array of hyacinths, daffodils, lilies, roses, carnations, and irises exhibited throughout the extensive grounds and indoor pavilions. After some free time to enjoy the beauty, we return to our cruise and continue our cruise towards Amsterdam.
Embark on a captivating riverboat tour through the enchanting city of Amsterdam, often referred to as the "Venice of the North." As we glide along the picturesque canals, your knowledgeable guide will lead you deeper into the heart of this remarkable city, showcasing its stunning architecture from a unique vantage point. Our journey will take us through the four magnificent canals that encircle the city centre: the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Singel. After soaking in the breathtaking views and rich history from the water, you'll have the opportunity to explore the vibrant city at your leisure. Enjoy some free time to explore Amsterdam as you wish, taking in the lively atmosphere before returning to our ship for lunch, where you can spend your afternoon at your leisure. Alternatively, why not join our optional excursion to visit Volendam's authentically Dutch fishing village and the beautifully preserved Zaanse Schans, home to traditional architecture, windmills, canals, and museums? We return for our final overnight on board ship.
We enjoy one last breakfast on board before we disembark, sail across the English Channel and travel to the East Midlands.
