Join kindred spirits on this delightful adventure along the northern Rhine. All along the way, you’ll be pampered in a lavish Suite, complete with personal Butler. Embark in Amsterdam, a once-tiny fishing village that grew into a major world port during the Dutch Golden Age. Next, spend the day surrounded by icons of the region as you visit Kinderdijk with its collection of traditional, still-operational windmills. The Netherlands’ maritime past takes center stage in Vlissingen, the Dutch East India Company’s most important harbor in the 17th century, followed by the end of your cruise in Brussels, official capital of Belgium and unofficial capital of the European Union.
Capital of the Netherlands, the magical Venice of the North is famous for its dazzling Golden Age of power and wealth during the 16th and 17th centuries. Today, it is a bustling wonderland of things to see and do. No visit is complete without a cruise along the intricate network of more than 62 miles (100 km) of canals and time with the Dutch masters at the renowned Rijksmuseum. Other highlights include the Royal Palace, Anne Frank House, lavish 17th-century canal homes, Heineken Beer Experience, and the infamous red-light district!
The city of Utrecht is an underappreciated whose ancient city center features structures dating back to the High Middle Ages. It has been the religious center of the Netherlands since the 8th century, and was the most important city in the Netherlands until the Dutch Golden Age, when it was surpassed by Amsterdam. Today, Utrecht is a city of lovely parks and canals, lively cafes, and remarkable historical buildings and museums. And no visit here is complete, of course, without the 465-step climb up the cathedral tower for incredible views over the city.

Strategically situated between the Scheldt River and the North Sea, Vlissingen (aka Flushing) has been an important harbor for centuries. It served as the Dutch East India Company's primary ship harbor in the 17th century and as the construction shipyard for the Royal Netherlands Navy. This was also the birthplace of Michiel de Ruyter, one of the most skilled naval commanders in Dutch history, and home to the MuZEEum, one of the country's most important maritime museums, with nearly 20,000 objects and artifacts in its collection.
Capital of Belgium, Brussels has traces of human settlement dating back to the Stone Age. Over the centuries, it grew in size and importance and by the Middle Ages was an important hub of trade and commerce. Today, this bustling cosmopolitan city is the de facto capital of the European Union. It's also a magnet for foodies seeking some of the world's finest chocolate, French fries, and beer! Major attractions include the impressive Grand-Place (main square), irreverent statue of Manneken Pis, and futuristic Atomium.
