Day 1:
Overnight Flight
Discover a dramatic waterway where winding valleys give way to riverside cities and Alpine hamlets. Venture along the Rhine and Moselle and spend time in beloved European cities, getting a taste of the local culture at each stop along the way.
Day 2:
Amsterdam, Netherlands – Board Cruise Ship
Arrive in Amsterdam, the 800-year-old capital of the Netherlands, a city of narrow canals and stone bridges. As arrival times will vary, there is no scheduled sightseeing today. For those arriving earlier in the day, you may relax in the ship’s lounge and enjoy refreshments until your cabin is ready in the late afternoon. Or, if you’re ready to explore, consider visiting one of Amsterdam’s famed museums, such as the Van Gogh Museum** or the Anne Frank House.** This evening, meet in the lounge for a cocktail reception followed by a welcome aboard dinner. (D)
**The Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House are the two most popular sites in Amsterdam. Tickets are in high demand and are difficult to obtain on the day or close to the day of visit. If you are interested, we recommend that you purchase tickets online in advance through the museums’ official websites.
Day 3:
Amsterdam
Begin your day with a canal cruise led by a local expert, experiencing Amsterdam from a unique perspective as you glide along the city’s centuries-old canal system. Sail by charming cafés and famous 16th-century row houses stacked side-by-side. Once your tour concludes in the late morning, spend some time exploring the city however you wish. Perhaps you’ll stroll through the charming Jordaan district, or soak in the atmosphere at a canal-side café. This afternoon, relax as your ship departs the Netherlands and makes its way to Germany.

Day 4:
Cologne, Germany
As the sun rises, glide along the Rhine River and pass through picturesque German landscapes dotted with medieval towns.
