Activities

Departure by coach for a guided tour of the city. Amsterdam is one of the world's most extraordinary small cities. From its canals and world-famous museums to its many sights and historical treasures, Amsterdam is one of Europe's most romantic and surprising... see+ capitals. Stop at the Riecker Mill, a windmill located on the banks of the Amstel River to the south of the city. The mill was built in 1636 in the village of Sloten. Pumping of the polder water was taken over by an electric pumping station in 1932, and the mill was subsequently dismantled when the polder was dug up to create, among other things, Lake Het Nieuw Meer. In 1961, the mill was re-erected some 8 kilometers away on the banks of the Amstel, between the Kalfjeslaan and Borcht roads. The banks of the Amstel at this point are much frequented by tourists and walkers, and it's a prime location for an old Dutch windmill. A statue of Rembrandt has been erected next to the windmill as a reminder that the painter drew many pictures on the banks of this river. Then visit the famous flower market. You'll find thousands of fresh flowers, as well as bulbs of the famous tulip (with the gouda ball, probably the best idea for a souvenir gift), shrubs, plants... The countless varieties will make you dizzy. Return by coach. 
Not included
Departure by coach for Volendam, a charming fishing village on the shores of the IJsselmeer, where some locals still wear traditional costumes. After watching a short film explaining the founding of the town and the construction of the dyke, you will have... see+ free time to explore the village and perhaps taste the local specialty: dried eel! Then you will visit a cheese factory (in or around Volendam) to discover how the famous round Dutch cheese — Gouda — is made. You’ll also be able to taste it, available in all sorts of flavors and ages: Baby Gouda or Old Gouda; cow’s milk or goat’s milk; plain, peppered, cumin, chili, or even smoked... these are just a few of the many possible flavors of this little cheese.
Continue by coach to visit Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum. Discover how the famous Dutch wooden clogs are made and learn about their history dating back to the year 1200! At first, they were just small wooden soles at the heel, evolving into hand-carved and painted models displayed in museums. And today? Clogs are still made, now mostly by machine. Before watching how they’re made, take some time to admire the incredible clog collection — from children’s clogs to wedding clogs. Enjoy some free time in the heart of this Dutch eco-museum to explore all its traditions: windmills, cheese, and typical houses. From 1950 onwards, windmills, houses, and regional utility buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries were moved here to form a village along the Zaan River.
This excursion will allow you to discover authentic Holland and its traditions.
Return to Amsterdam by coach.
Notes: The order of visits may change. Times are approximate. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
 
Not included $69 / pers.
Departure by coach to The Hague, the administrative capital of the Netherlands. The Hague is one of the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands. From William of Orange to Prince Maurice and the current royal family, The Hague has always been a popular city... see+ with the royal household. With its many authentic courtyards, The Hague is rightly called the residence of the court. Today, these oases of tranquility in the city center are quite hidden, but your guide will show them to you: the Hofje Rusthof, behind the Lange Voorhout, the Hof van Wouw on the Lange Beestenmarkt, and the Hofje van Nieuwkoop on the Prinsengracht. We will visit the Binnenhof (which literally means "inner courtyard"). This is the historic seat of the Dutch Parliament and government and the center of political power in the Netherlands. The country's affairs have been debated here for over 400 years. Your guide will also show you the royal monuments. You will discover the Lange Voorhout Palace, also known as the Escher Museum. Then, you will pass by the Hotel des Indes, the Supreme Court building, and the Kloosterkerk church. NOTES Wear comfortable shoes: the tour is entirely on foot. The order of visits may be changed. Times are given as a guide only.  
Not included $68 / pers.
The tour of Belgium's capital city will begin with a panoramic tour to discover the city's famous monuments, such as the Royal Park of Laeken and the Atomium, which represents an iron crystal molecule magnified 165 billion times and dates back to the 1958... see+ Brussels World's Fair. You will then head to Brussels city center to admire the Royal Palace of Brussels, the king's workplace, numerous Art Nouveau buildings, the European Union buildings, and more.You will continue the tour by foot toward the Grand Place in Brussels, with its imposing Gothic-style Town Hall dating from the 14th century, and you will also discover the famous Manneken Pis. Stop at a chocolate shop, a true Belgian institution. You can discover the work of artisan chocolatiers and taste these sweet flavors. Return to the side of the boat. You will have some free time before joining the bus that will take you back to the ship. NOTES Panoramic bus tour with photo stops. Wear comfortable walking shoes: the old town tour is on foot and the streets are cobbled. The order of visits may be changed. Times are given as a guide only.
