Your Destinations

Start your stay in magical Amsterdam.  Since the 1st of August 2010, the Amsterdam Canal District is officially listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.  The historic urban ensemble of the canal district of Amsterdam was a project for a new ‘port city’ built at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th centuries. It comprises a network of canals to the west and south of the historic old town and the medieval port that encircled the old town and was accompanied by the repositioning inland of the city’s fortified boundaries, the Singelgracht.

Then head up the gorgeous Rhine and watch the land of German fairy tales role past your window with it's picturesque steep-roofed houses and cobblestone streets, rushing streams and stormy mountains.

After a walking tour with a local guide, cruise the dramatic Rhine Gorge, an incredibly beautiful stretch of river where quaint, fairytale castles stand sentry on the steep, terraced banks.
