Day 1 Individual travel arrangements to cruise departure point Bremerhaven/Germany, departure 19.00 hrs
Day 2 Relaxation at sea
Day 3 Amsterdam/Netherlands, 07.00 – 19.00 hrs

Tranquil and vibrant, old and new, picturesque and daring – the canal city of Amsterdam is a unique celebration of contrasts. Discover the jewel of the Netherlands on a city walk with your experts or completely at your own pace. Only by wandering through the narrow streets will you notice the elegance of the gabled houses, the heron on a houseboat or a hidden inner courtyard known as a “hofje”. Take a journey back in time through the historic ages, past the Westernkirk (western church), the Anne Frank Museum and the Royal Palace. Cultural insights await when you follow in the footsteps of the legendary painter in the Van Gogh Museum. The Netherlands and cycling simply belong together: so how about exploring Amsterdam by bicycle? Take in the avant-garde former workers’ district in the north of the city – now a “creative hub” with houseboat galleries and trendy restaurants. 

Day 4 Cruise on the Thames London/United Kingdom, arrival 16.00 hrs  (subject to the tides)

Your mind will be on Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden when cruising on the Thames. In London, Tower Bridge opens up and you sail through the Neo-Gothic monument – which is only possible on a small ship like this one.

Breathtaking Gothic churches right next to impressive skyscrapers, punks in Camden and the elegant upper class – welcome to London. This city of contrasts is a lively mosaic of history and modern, culture and pleasure: walk along the Thames and visit Borough Market, a place where scents from all around the world tempt curious explorers. In Soho, you will find lively bars and street music, while the heavens above the pubs in Camden are full of faces that will never grow old. But it's also the little things that are the heart and soul of this busy city, such as a hidden garden or a trip on the underground. London is not just a destination in itself, but your own expedition through its diversity and lifestyle. One thing is for sure, you will take a wealth of impressions home with you as crown jewels.

Day 5 London/Great Britain, departure 18.00 hrs (subject to the tides)
Day 6 Relaxation at sea
Day 7 Hamburg/Germany, arrival 08.00 hrs Individual travel arrangements from cruise arrival point
