Settle into your stateroom, sip a welcome cocktail, and join us for an elegant dinner on board.v
After breakfast, enjoy a guided walking tour of Antwerp, a port city steeped in medieval and Renaissance charm. Return to the ship for lunch before setting sail toward Rotterdam. Spend your afternoon relaxing—perhaps with a book on the sundeck, a cocktail in the lounge, or simply taking in the scenery. Tonight, join the Captain for a formal Gala Dinner, featuring refined cuisine and impeccable service.
Today, experience the extraordinary Keukenhof Gardens, one of the world’s most iconic springtime spectacles. With over 7 million blooms across 80 acres, this is truly a feast for the senses. The time is yours to explore the gardens at your leisure before returning to the ship to enjoy an onboard lunch. This evening, we cruise into Amsterdam, arriving in the heart of this vibrant, canal-lined city.
Begin the day with a canal cruise through Amsterdam, admiring centuries-old homes, bustling squares, and royal landmarks. Afterward, return to the ship for lunch. This afternoon, we head into the picturesque Dutch countryside, visiting Zaanse Schans and Volendam, where windmills, traditional crafts, and artisanal cheeses paint the picture of a slower, more soulful way of life. Return to the ship for a relaxed final night aboard.
Disembark and journey to Amersfoort, a well-preserved medieval town home to Europe’s first cotton printery. At the Cotton Printing House, take part in an intimate workshop using hand-carved wooden blocks to create your own printed design. Later, we arrive in Amsterdam, where our park-side hotel welcomes us for the final leg of the journey.
Today’s curated excursion focuses on Amsterdam’s vibrant textile scene. Begin at Petra Prins Patchwork & Quilting, a stylish and inspiring boutique known across Europe. Browse a handpicked selection of modern fabrics, books, and patterns, and enjoy a private trunk show from Petra’s personal collection. The evening is yours—whether it’s a Michelin-starred dinner, casual wine bar, or canal-side stroll, Amsterdam has something to suit your mood.
This morning, enjoy a guided visit to the Van Gogh Museum, home to the largest collection of the artist’s work. With the afternoon at your leisure, choose to browse the boutiques, relax in a café, or visit another world-class museum—we recommend the powerful Anne Frank House. This evening, gather for a Farewell Dinner, celebrating the art, beauty, and friendships formed along the way.
After a final breakfast, say goodbye to your fellow travelers and transfer to the airport for your flight home—refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of your next elegant escape.
