Optional Excursions:

Authentic: Amsterdam by riverboat. This tour will give you a glimpse of the... see+ Dutch capital’s many historical treasures and sights. A fascinating and dynamic city where the old and the new blend harmoniously, Amsterdam is rich in history, art, and culture, with a surprise waiting around every corner. During a boat ride along the picturesque canals—designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site—you’ll be able to admire the city’s distinctive architecture, including the many narrow gabled houses, 17th-century mansions, and the magnificent bridges spanning the canals, all of which create an extraordinary urban landscape.

Experience: Amsterdam by bike, exploring secret and off-the-beaten-path spots. We’ll set off on foot from the boat to reach our bike rental shop. Cycling is an institution in Amsterdam. A multitude of bike paths crisscross the Dutch capital, forming one of Europe’s largest and most extensive networks. You’ll be accompanied by a guide on a tour lasting about 2.5 hours. You’ll explore the canals as well as the unusual and hidden spots known only to Amsterdammers for an immersive experience in the capital.

In the afternoon, an optional authentic excursion/experience: Volendam and Zaanse Schans. Depart by coach with your guide for Volendam, a charming fishing village on the side of the IJsselmeer where locals are sometimes still seen wearing traditional costumes. You’ll visit a cheese factory (in or near Volendam) to learn how the famous round Dutch cheese—Gouda—is made. Available in various flavors and ages, you’ll have the opportunity to taste it. Then, head to Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum. Starting in 1950, regional buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries were moved and grouped together here to form a village on the side of the Zaan River. Discover how the famous Dutch wooden clogs are made and learn about their history dating back to the year 1200. This excursion will allow you to experience authentic Holland and its traditions.

Activities

Leave the boat on foot to join our bike rental company! You'll be accompanied by a guide for a tour lasting around 2h30. You'll discover the canals and the unusual, secret places known only to Amstellodammers. Free time at the Flower Market or Albert Cuyp... see+ Market. 
Not included $81 / pers.
Set off on a sightseeing tour of Amsterdam by riverboat. Accompanied by your guide, discover the city’s fabulous architecture and its tall gabled houses as you glide along the water. You’ll cruise along the four major canals that encircle Amsterdam’s... see+ city center: Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Singel. The Singel River was converted into a canal in the 14th century to become part of the city’s defensive belt. The other three canals were designed at the beginning of the Golden Age to expand the city. Construction began in 1560 and lasted over a hundred years. Today, the historic center is surrounded by the four half-moon-shaped canals running parallel to one another. The layout follows the sun’s rays so that every home receives sunlight at some point during the day. On a city map, Amsterdam resembles half a bicycle wheel. Take this opportunity to explore the Dutch capital while relaxing. Free time. Return to the ship.

Depart by coach with your guide for Volendam, a charming fishing village on the shores of the IJsselmeer where locals can still sometimes be seen wearing traditional costumes. Next, you’ll visit a cheese factory (in Volendam or the surrounding area) to... see+ learn how the famous round Dutch cheese—Gouda—is made. You’ll also have the chance to taste it—it comes in all flavors and ages: Baby Gouda or Old Gouda; made from cow’s milk or goat’s milk; plain, with pepper, cumin, chili, or even smoked… these are just a tiny fraction of the flavor possibilities this little cheese has to offer. Continue by bus 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 a small plank “with a skeg,” which evolved into the hand-carved and hand-painted models now on display in museums. And today? They’re still clogs, though they’re most often made by machine. Before exploring the clog-making process, take some time to admire the incredible collection of clogs: from children’s clogs to wedding clogs. Enjoy some free time in the heart of this Dutch eco-museum to discover all its traditions, windmills, cheese, and traditional houses… Starting in 1950, windmills, houses, and regional utility buildings dating from the 17th and 18th centuries were moved and assembled here to form a village on the side of the Zaan. This excursion will allow you to discover authentic Holland and its traditions. Return to the ship in Amsterdam by coach.
