Nienburg Hoya Bremen
Optional transfer for a free tour of Nienburg, the "red city". The heart of this 1,000-year-old... see+ historic town is the Old Town, with its half-timbered and Renaissance facades and red bricks. Nienburg's town hall, a magnificent building from the Weser Renaissance period, is also located here. Nienburg's main church, a three-aisled church in the North German brick Gothic style, was consecrated in 1441. The church tower, a 72 m-high neo-Gothic edifice, is the symbol of the town and was built at the end of the 19th century.

The city's oldest building is probably the Stockturm. This is the remains of the former moated castle of the Counts of Hoya. Afternoon sailing on the Weser.

Dörpen Papenburg Groningen
Early morning departure for Papenburg and optional excursion to the Meyer Werft shipyard. Founded... see+ in 1795, Meyer Werft originally built wooden boats, and did not stand out from the twenty or so shipyards in Papenburg at the time. At the end of the 19th century, the company took the gamble of moving into the manufacture of steel boats, and since then it has undergone continuous development and has survived to the present day. Run by the same family for six generations, the shipyard's history has been marked by a number of vessels, notably the Triton, the first iron ship built in 1874, and the Graf Goetzen, a 1913 steamship shipped in crates to Africa to sail on Lake Tanganyika, the same ship that became famous as the German patrol boat in the 1951 Hollywood film The African Queen Odyssey. For 1h30, a passionate guide will show you all the secrets behind the construction of these floating monsters.

Afternoon sailing to Groningen on the Ems Canal. Built between 1866 and 1876, this important waterway link is mainly used by coasters. Arrival in Groningen in the evening.

Groningen Amsterdam
Early morning departure. Day's sailing to Amsterdam(4). Between canals and lakes, you'll sail... see+ through Friesland, a typical Dutch region with lush green plains, a land of farms and lakes that lives apart with its own language, identity and traditions. Here, the pace of life seems timeless. As famous for its speed skaters as for its incredible lakes, the province extends north to the Wadden Sea.

Towards Lemmer, you'll cross Lake IJsselmeer, Holland's largest lake, with a surface area of 1,100 km². It's a very special lake, as it used to be part of the Zuiderzee Sea. Since the Afsluitdijk dam was built, it has become a lake fed by several rivers, including the Amstel, Rhine, Vescht and IJsel. Then on to Lake Markermeer before reaching the Dutch capital in the evening. Gala evening.

Amsterdam
Optional morning tour of Amsterdam. A panoramic tour will give you an overview of the many... see+ historical treasures and sights of the Dutch capital. Windmills and the famous flower market are all symbols of the Netherlands and its history. Our first stop is the Riecker Mill, one of Amsterdam's oldest mills, on the banks of the Amstel. Depart for the flower market, where you'll round off this Dutch postcard by discovering thousands of varieties of flowers and bulbs of tulips, the country's star flower.

In the afternoon, optional excursion to Volendam and Zaanse Schans. Drive to Volendam, a charming fishing village on the banks of the Ijsselmeer, where the locals are sometimes still dressed in traditional costumes. Visit a cheese factory to learn how the famous Dutch round cheese, Gouda, is made. Tasting session. Continue on to Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum. Mills, houses and workshops have been relocated here to give a glimpse of Dutch life in the 19th century. In a traditional workshop, you can admire the art of shaping Dutch clogs.

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.
