Embark on a delightful, seven-night cruise along the intimate waterways of the Netherlands and Belgium brimming with centuries of history and Old-World charm! See Amsterdam’s iconic canals, stroll amid the brilliant tulips at Keukenhof Gardens and relish an extraordinary and rare exhibition of Vermeer’s paintings gathered from around the world at the Rijksmuseum! You’ll also take in Bruges’ wonderfully preserved Gothic gems and Antwerp’s impressive medieval old town.

Other ports of call introduce you to the inviting Dutch city of Kampen, rich in Hanseatic history, and the laid-back seaside harbor town of Veere. Enjoy enrichment from expert guides and lecturers, plus a choice of included excursions. Explore The Hague and the famed Mauritshuis, watch artisans at the Royal Delft porcelain factory or sample delectable cheeses in Gouda. In Bruges, visit a chocolaterie, discover the beer culture or admire fine Belgian art. Aboard your exclusively chartered, first-class ship, savor generous meals with wine and beer at lunch and dinner. No single supplement!
