    Today, you have a choice of excursions. One offers you the opportunity to visit the famed Rijksmuseum. Housing over one million objects of different arts, crafts, and artifacts created in the years of 1200-2000 AD (8,000 of which are displayed publicly), the Rijksmuseum is home to some of the greatest historical and artistic masterpieces in the world, including a collection of paintings from the likes of Dutch Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Hals; your other option offers a visit to the Zaanse Schans neighborhood to get an idea of what life was like in 17th- and 18th-century Holland; see the historic windmills and green wooden houses from the period. Nicknamed the "Venice of the North" for the sheer number of canals (165 to be exact) found throughout the city proper, they'll be on full display this afternoon during some free time to explore Amsterdam as you please. Illuminated artwork and sculptures lining the canals add a special glow to the city's winter landscapes at night, and are a highlight of this evening's festive canal cruise. ...

    A leisurely morning cruise brings you to Schoonhoven in south Holland for a drive to historic Gouda, famous for its namesake cheese, but also inviting with its lesser-known candles - and stroopwafels. Join a local guide for a walking tour of its compact canal-ringed city center - in December the market and Town Hall are stunningly candlelit! See the pride of the town, the monumental 17th-century Waag, (weighing house) and the Town Hall. Credited with inventing stroopwafels, an iconic waffle sandwich with syrup in the center, Gouda was the only city to make them until 1870. Enjoy a demonstration and a tasting during your visit to Gouda today! Continue on to the royal city of Den Haag for a walking tour that includes a visit to Escher in the Palace; housed in an 18th-century palace that was once home to the Dutch royal family and is now a museum, it features a permanent exhibition of works by Dutch graphic artist M.C. Escher. ...

    A choice of shore excursions today includes a locally guided walking tour of Rotterdam or a visit to Delft and its porcelain factory. In Rotterdam, view world-class architecture and urban design, along with outdoor sculptures randomly placed. As you make your way to the city's covered Markthal, topped with sought-after glass-walled apartments, see how the market is lined with some 96 stalls enticing with a taste of Dutch culinary specialties under an arched fruit-and-vegetable muralled ceiling. Little changed since Golden Age artist Johannes Vermeer lived here in the 17th century, the historic center of Delft is a veritable time capsule of medieval treasures and Golden Age glories. Tour the city's Royal Delft factory to learn more about the distinctive blue-and-white Delftware pottery first introduced by local artisans in the 17th century, before returning to your ship in Rotterdam. Enjoy dinner tonight as your riverboat cruises to Antwerp. ...
