Itinerary

Arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship. (D)

The Netherlands' largest city, Amsterdam, has been an international port and financial center for 400 years. Your day begins with a morning visit to the Fabrique des Lumières. Later, see the sites by canal boat. (B/L/WD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of A Morning at the Fabrique des Lumières OR Anne Frank House Visit OR Nights Out: Lookout Tower Amsterdam OR Amsterdam Canal Cruise OR Refugee Canal Cruise

Note: A special Captain's Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.

Spend half a day among millions of brilliantly colored flowers in Keukenhof, then mix it up a bit with a visit to and exploration of Haarlem's art, history and Dutch lifestyle. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Keukenhof Gardens OR Haarlem - Art, History, and Dutch lifestyle OR The Tulip Experience

Spend some time exploring the picture-perfect town of Enkhuizen and leave the modern world far behind as you visit a recreated 19th-century Dutch village. Later, you'll discover the town of Hoorn's seafaring past, where the swashbuckling derring-do of Dutch explorers will come to life on a guided walking tour of this historic locale. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Hoorn Walking Tour OR Dutch Maritime Traditions of the Zuiderzee OR Dutch Cheese Trail

For your choice of excursions today, visit the Kröller-Müller Museum, which is home to 97 works by native son Vincent van Gogh as well as other notable artists and sculptors. Or opt for a walking tour of Nijmegen. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Freedom Museum OR Nijmegen Walking Tour OR Kröller-Müller Museum Visit

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. Begin your day by exploring this modern city on a Dutch culinary stroll, with a stop at the architectural milestone, Market Hall. Erected in 2014, it's known for its futuristic look and unique culinary offerings.

Later, head to Kinderdijk to discover why windmills are such an iconic symbol of Holland; marvel at their engineering and learn about their role in changing the course of Dutch history. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Dutch Culinary Stroll to Rotterdam's Market Hall OR Rotterdam, City of the Future OR Kinderdijk Windmills OR Let's Go: Biking the Dams and Windmills OR Visit Famous Delft

Your ship docks this morning in the quaint Zeeland village of Veere, which will be your base for explorations of this charming town. A harbor village on the shores of the Western Scheldt, Veere may be a small town now, but its stately 15th-century town hall tells of a grander past. For three centuries it was the bustling center of the wool trade with Scotland; the wealth from this trade built the splendid church with its tall and ornate steeple that dominates the village, as well as the handsome mansions on its main street. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Stroll into the Artists' Village of Veere OR Delta Works Drive

Your first 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. (B/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Bruges Walking Tour with Canal Cruise OR Ghent Walking Tour

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. (B/L/FD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Antwerp Historic Downtown Highlights OR Do as the Locals Do: Antwerp Walking Tour

Note: A special Captain's Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.
