Itinerary

Belgium

Antwerp

Arrive at Brussels International Airport. If you have arranged a Uniworld arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.

Belgium

Antwerp

It may be the diamond capital of the world, but Antwerp is also known for a number of other sought-after cultural gems, including Golden Age art and Belgian beer, waffles and fries. Visit Antwerp’s striking Cathedral of Our Lady, with its UNESCO-designated belfry and its historic surroundings, or, if you’re feeling adventurous, hop on the metro and experience the city like a local.

Belgium

Gent (Ghent)

Your next day in Belgium offers you the chance to visit one of two national gems: beautiful Bruges, the capital of West Flanders and one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Europe, or fascinating Ghent, the capital city of East Flanders, whose long history does not weigh on its vibrant present. Belgium’s second largest city, Ghent abounds in medieval architecture, but there’s nothing museum-like about the city. It’s lively and brims with cutting-edge boutiques and galleries.

Netherlands

Dordrecht

Your ship docks today in Dordrecht, the oldest city in Holland. With around 1,000 historic monuments seamlessly integrated into the city center, some now home to boutique shops and charming restaurants, the city's past and present mingle to create a rich and distinctive atmosphere.

Netherlands

Rotterdam

Rotterdam is thoroughly modern—you’ll soon understand why it’s sometimes called “Manhattan on the Meuse.” The Maas Tower, the Montevideo, the Millennium Tower, and the spectacular Erasmus Bridge make for a dazzling skyline. Explore this modern city on a tour that highlights its eco-friendly innovations. This evening, enjoy a Night Out with a visit to Mauritshuis museum in The Hague.

Netherlands

Nijmegen

For your choice of excursions today, visit the Dutch Freedom Museum, which is dedicated to Holland's struggle for liberation against the Nazis. Alternatively, opt for a walking tour of Nijmegen.

Netherlands

Enkhuizen

Discover the Netherlands’ seafaring past, where the swashbuckling derring-do of Dutch explorers will come to life during your visit today.

Netherlands

Zaandam

Sitting just north of Amsterdam is the quieter town of Zaandam, beloved for its traditional green cottages, windmills, craft shops, and quirky modern touches.

Netherlands

Amsterdam

The Netherlands’ largest city, Amsterdam, has been an international port and financial center for 400 years. Your choice of excursions today: either a morning visit to the Fabrique des Lumières or a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience on a canal boat.

Netherlands

Amsterdam

Disembark the ship. If you have arranged a Uniworld departure transfer, you will be transferred to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for your flight home.
