Tour details

Individual arrival for embarkation in the Rhine metropolis of Düsseldorf. Use the free time to familiarize yourself with the ship, take a stroll through the lovingly decorated “KÖ” or stroll through one of the many Christmas markets in the evening. Our onboard tour guide will greet you with a welcome sparkling wine. In the evening, your ship leaves Germany and takes you to Rotterdam.

Modern architecture in Düsseldorf's Media Harbor featuring curved metallic building, Rhine Tower, and contemporary office buildings along the harbor.

Herzlich willkommen in Rotterdam! Die dynamischste Stadt der Niederlande ist eines der kulturellen Zentren des Landes. Bei einer fakultativen Stadtrundfahrt, vorbei an der berühmten Markthalle und den kultigen Kubus Häusern, erhalten Sie einen ersten Einblick über diese facettenreiche Stadt. Nach einem Besuch der Innenstadt geht es weiter über die berühmte Erasmusbrücke nach Rotterdam-Süd zu den beliebten Stadtteilen Kop van Zuid und Katendrecht. In der Hafenmetropole darf natürlich auch ein Besuch der zahlreichen Häfen nicht fehlen. Erleben Sie bei unserer Stadtrundfahrt einen der weltweit größten Häfen mit all seinem geschäftigen Treiben. Ein Erlebnis, das man nicht verpassen sollte: Bestaunen Sie die riesigen Containerterminals und bewundern Sie den architektonischen Variantenreichtum der Skyline von Rotterdam (fakultativ).

A whole day to explore the diamond city of Antwerp. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Antwerp was one of the most important trading cities in Europe and was consequently very wealthy. The trade in diamonds and their processing played a not insignificant part in this. The city was also home to many artists. The most famous of these are Rubens and van Dyck. Discover Antwerp during a short city tour followed by a walk through the historic center. In the afternoon, there will be enough time to explore Antwerp on your own and perhaps take a short break in one of the many cafés on the Grote Markt. In the evening, MS SE-MANON sets sail for Nijmegen.

In the morning, the MS SE-MANON reaches the cozy Hanseatic city of Nijmegen. At more than 2000 years old, Nijmegen is the oldest city in Holland. Around the market square you will find the St. Stevenskerk, medieval town houses, restaurants and galleries. Discover this diverse city on a guided city walk (optional). In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to explore a local brewery on an optional guided tour followed by a tasting.

Enjoy your last evening on board with a good glass of wine in the saloon and reflect on the many impressions of the last few days.

Arrival approx. 08:00 in Düsseldorf. After breakfast, disembarkation and individual return journey.
