A Journey of Wind, Water & Wonder

A Journey of Wind, Water & Wonder

About This Cruise

The journey begins in Brussels, Belgium’s capital and the heart of Europe. The Grand Place, historic façades, and modern institutions create a lively atmosphere. Leaving the city, the landscape opens into meadows, forests, and rivers.

In Antwerp, the Cathedral of Our Lady dominates, while the Grote Markt and bustling port reveal the city’s maritime importance. Sailing north, the Dutch delta unfolds: a wide mosaic of water, dikes, and green pastures.

Veere enchants with its storage houses, canals, and sea views, while Bruinisse, the “mussel village,” offers authentic maritime charm with fishing boats and tidal flats.

Willemstad impresses with its star-shaped fortress layout and historic streets, surrounded by open waters.

In Dordrecht, the oldest Dutch city, canals, churches, and merchant houses recall centuries of trade. The surrounding polders and windmills emphasize the close link between land and water.

Rotterdam presents a bold contrast with modern architecture, the Erasmus Bridge, and Europe’s largest port, embodying a dynamic, international character.

The cruise ends in Amsterdam, where tree-lined canals, merchant houses, and world-class museums create a unique atmosphere. A city of history and openness, it provides a fitting finale to this river journey.

Itinerary

Belgium

Brussel (Bruxelles)

Manneken Pis or the Atomium? Then you’ve arrived in Belgium’s capital, Brussels! Manneken Pis is a bronze fountain figure that, although only about half a meter tall, has been delighting people since 1650. In addition to its historic buildings, Brussels is best known for its culinary scene, particularly its fine chocolate, which is available at numerous chocolatiers. Once you’ve seen enough sights and sampled plenty of sweets, there’s no better way to round out a relaxing day than with a delicious beer. Brussels has an abundance of it, and as a beer lover, you can choose your favorite from a selection of over 1,000 varieties. Whether it’s Manneken Pis, a chocolatier, or Leffe Blonde—in Brussels, you’ll find everything your heart desires.

Belgium

Antwerp

The heart of Flanders beats in Antwerp, the international center of the diamond trade. And when it comes to the finest chocolates and the vibrant cultural scene, it beats just a little faster. Home to numerous fashion designers, painters, and musicians, Antwerp was Europe’s largest city 400 years ago, and its historic city center bears witness to a magnificent past: A visit to the main hall of the central train station or the luxury department store “Stadsfeestzaal” is well worth it! In addition to thirteen UNESCO World Heritage Sites, more than 50 Baroque works by Rubens in various museums are a stunning sight to behold.

Willemstad

Willemstad is a former fortress city built by William of Orange, located on the southern coast of the Netherlands. It is an imposing, star-shaped fortress consisting of a hexagon of canals and five bastions. There are a total of 11 fortresses along the southern coast of the Netherlands, three of which can be visited in Willemstad. In this historic city, the former ammunition depots and supply stores have been transformed into cozy cafés and restaurants, inviting visitors to take a break in a historic setting. In addition to touring the fortresses, you can also spot wonderful birds in the area around Willemstad. The best place to do this is at the Hellegat-Ventjager Bird Boulevard, where you’ll find four observation huts and a lookout tower.

Netherlands

Dordrecht

Thanks to its location on the water, the Dutch city of Dordrecht is a former trading city. This history is still evident in the city today—whether in the historic downtown, at the harbor, or in one of its many museums. Also worth seeing are the “Grote Kerk” and the 13th-century Augustinian monastery. A stroll through Dordrecht is the best way to discover the town’s history.

Rotterdam

The port city of Rotterdam is located in the Netherlands and is one of the most interesting places in the world. Its modern architecture plays a significant role in this. Among the impressive sights is the horseshoe-shaped Market Hall, with its vast array of goods and lively atmosphere. In the Old Harbor, with its striking white building, you can admire historic ships. The Witte de Withstraat shopping district is a great place to stroll, shop, and party. The futuristic-looking central station, known as “The Bag,” is also a great spot for bar-hopping and shopping.

Netherlands

Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of those cities that every traveler should visit at least once in their lifetime. It’s no wonder that millions upon millions of tourists flock to the city of canals every year to enjoy its abundance of sights and cultural offerings. The best way to discover Amsterdam is on a boat tour along the canals or a stroll along these unique waterways. Art lovers will be immediately drawn to one of the world-famous museums, such as the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, or the Van Gogh Museum. Partygoers will find their happy place in the nightlife and red-light district of De Wallen. And beer lovers should definitely not miss the Heineken Experience.
