    Amsterdam, Netherlands
    • Amsterdam, Netherlands
    Spend the day in the Dutch capital, celebrated for its artistic heritage, historic canals, and narrow houses with gabled facades. One of the best ways to see Amsterdam is by water, and this morning you'll glide through its waterways on a guided canal cruise before your choice of excursions. One takes you on a guided tour of the Rijksmuseum to see such works as The Milkmaid by Vermeer, Self-Portrait by Van Gogh, The Merry Family by Jan Steen, and Rembrandt's The Night Watch, followed by lunch at the museum's Michelin-starred restaurant, RIJKS. Your other choice takes you to the nearby town of Volendam for a bike ride past dikes, windmills, and small bridges on your way to a local farm to learn about cheesemaking. Return to your riverboat for a wine presentation and tasting, followed by dinner in the Compass Rose and musical entertainment. ...

Return to your riverboat this afternoon before a Tauck Exclusive evening at the Mauritshuis in The Hague, where you'll admire masterpieces of the Dutch Golden Age before enjoying a private dinner accompanied by live music performed by students from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. ...

    Voted "the most beautiful fortified town in the Netherlands", Gorinchem boasts a remarkably preserved historic center, where centuries-old ramparts recall its role in the Dutch Waterline defense system. Surrounded by green polders and grazing cattle, the town offers a glimpse into the Netherlands' rich history and rural landscapes. This morning, depart by water taxi for Slot Loevestein, a medieval castle surrounded by the waterways of the Dutch countryside. Here, choose two activities that bring the castle's history and traditions to life: explore its storied past on a guided tour, try your hand at archery or fencing, or join a djembe drumming workshop. Return to your riverboat for lunch and an afternoon of cruising toward Ghent. ...

    You're off on a choice of excursions this morning. One brings you to the Flemish city of Bruges, known as the "Venice of the North" for its picturesque canals and narrow medieval streets. On a guided walking tour through cobblestoned, fairy-tale-like Bruges, you'll feel as though you've stepped into a painting by Jan van Eyck, who captured life in the city during its 15th-century heyday. Enjoy lunch in town and free time to explore as you wish. The other choice brings you to Ghent, where a guided walking tour and canal boat ride reveal a beautifully preserved medieval center of soaring church spires, historic merchants' houses, and picturesque waterways. Enjoy time to explore at your own pace, perhaps sampling a local specialty like Ghent noses, the city's traditional raspberry-flavored candies, or a warm Belgian waffle. Have cocktails and dinner onboard as your riverboat charts a course toward Antwerp. ...

    Antwerp, Belgium
    • Antwerp, Belgium
    Belgium's largest port city, Antwerp, has long been a center of art, commerce, and diamond trading. One of Europe's wealthiest cities during the 16th century, it later became home to Flemish masters Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and Frans Snyders, whose artistic legacies endure today. Join a local guide for a walking tour through Antwerp's historic heart, where the lively Grote Markt, ornate guild houses, Baroque churches, and the magnificent Cathedral of Our Lady reflect centuries of rich history and architectural heritage. This afternoon, choose how you wish to explore: visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, home to an exceptional collection of works spanning the 14th through 20th centuries, including masterpieces by Rubens; discover Belgium's celebrated beer culture on a brewery tour with tastings; or enjoy free time to explore Antwerp at your own pace. Return to your riverboat this evening for the Chef's Signature Dinner in the Compass Rose. ...

    Brussels, Belgium
    • Brussels, Belgium
    Spend the morning getting to know Brussels, with a choice of two very different looks at the Belgian capital. A motorcoach and walking tour takes in the city's landmark architecture and historic squares, with a local guide sharing stories of Brussels past and present. Or explore the city through its remarkable Art Nouveau heritage, combining a guided drive and walk with a visit to the Horta Museum, the former home and studio of architect Victor Horta (the Van Buuren Museum is visited if the Horta Museum is unavailable). Then the afternoon is yours: return to the riverboat for lunch, or stay in Brussels to explore as you wish - perhaps take in UNESCO World Heritage-designated Grand-Place and the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, elegant 19th-century covered arcades distinguished by a soaring glass-vaulted roof, graceful arched facades, cafes, chocolatiers, and theaters; seek out some of the city's colorful comic-strip murals; or settle in with a Belgian chocolate, waffle, or beer. This evening, bid your riverboat and journey adieu with a farewell reception and dinner onboard. ...
