Individual arrival in Amsterdam and embarkation from 2:00 p.m. The crew will welcome you on board. The ship will then depart from Amsterdam to Vianen, a small fortified town on the River Lek (Lower Rhine). After dinner and the distribution of bicycles, you can take a short test ride there.

Today, you will cycle along a beautiful route to the silver town of Schoonhoven, a town that has been home to many talented silversmiths since the 17th century. Later, you will continue cycling along the Lek, then cross the Alblasserwaard Polder and reach Kinderdijk, surely the highlight of the day. Kinderdijk is famous for its impressive row of 19 windmills and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; you can visit one of these windmills, so don't forget your camera! You will cover the last stretch by “water bus”: in about 10 minutes, you will travel from Alblasserdam (near Kinderdijk) to Dordrecht, one of the oldest cities in Holland.

During breakfast, the ship will sail to Willemstad, where you will set off on your next bike tour. Your bike tour will take you to Tholen, once an island surrounded by the great rivers of the province of Zeeland, which was often flooded. Today, Tholen is connected to the mainland, but it is still a picturesque little town.

You will then cycle on to the destination of this trip – Bergen op Zoom. Bergen op Zoom is a historic fortified town that once stood on the open waters of the Oosterschelde. After dinner, you can take a stroll through the old town. Narrow alleys, old town squares, marketplaces, church squares, and idiosyncratic monumental buildings reveal the history of a rich and eventful past that dates back more than eight hundred years.

In the morning, you will take a short bike ride through the beautiful “Wouwse Plantage” around Bergen op Zoom. In the early afternoon, you will board the ship again and continue through the impressive Kreekrak locks to Belgium, to the port city of Antwerp. The city is considered the world capital of the diamond trade and offers countless sights, including the town hall, one of the many magnificent Renaissance buildings, the historic Grote Markt square, the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe cathedral, and the medieval stone castle. Your tour guide will reveal their best restaurant tips for a delicious dinner in Bruges today (no dinner on board).

In the morning, you will cycle along a beautiful route out of Antwerp and along the picturesque tidal river Scheldt to Sint-Amands, where you will spend the night. The landscape around the Scheldt can be described in just one word: breathtaking! This part of the tour is undoubtedly one of the natural highlights.

Today, you continue your journey along the Scheldt and cycle to Ghent, a university city with a rich history (mooring at the Merelbeke lock, approx. 30 minutes by bike from Ghent's old town). The city was founded in Roman times at the confluence of the Leie and Scheldt rivers. Its favorable location brought great prosperity for many years, reaching its peak at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th centuries. Before dinner, you can take a guided canal tour through the historic city.

Today's final bike tour takes you through the enchanting Flemish countryside of West Flanders to Bruges, also known as the “Venice of the North.” The beautiful city of Bruges is often referred to as the most beautiful Flemish city. Its medieval old town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. There is plenty to do while you are here. You can visit one of the many museums or simply relax and enjoy the atmosphere of this unique and unforgettably beautiful city with a coffee in one of the many nice street cafés.

After breakfast, disembarkation by 9:30 a.m. and individual journey home.
