7 Nights from Cologne to Amsterdam (Lelystad*), Huizen, Panorama Cruise Markermeer & IJsselmeer, Enkhuizen, Panorama Cruise Markermeer & IJsselmeer, Hoorn, Nijmegen and Duisburg to Cologne.
Day 1: Cologne
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
Day 2: Amsterdam (Lelystad*)
Amsterdam is an incredibly varied city. It’s old yet modern, relaxed yet bustling, and arty while also being commercial. With almost 7,500 listed buildings, it has the highest concentration of historical monuments in the whole country. When your Rhine cruise calls at Amsterdam, you’ll be able to discover a piece of history around every corner. *In individual cases, the local authorities in Amsterdam may not confirm the reserved berths. If no berth is allocated, our guests will be provided with a shuttle bus to Amsterdam.
