A hearty welcome to Rotterdam! The most dynamic city in the Netherlands is one of the cultural centres of this country.

In the afternoon, experience one of the world`s largest seaports, bustling with activity. An experience you should not miss out on: enjoy amazing views of the gigantic container terminal from up close and marvel at the unique skyline with the city`s rich architectural gems(optional).

Towards evening, the charming city of Ghent will enchant you with the magical light plan walk. The walk (optional) will take you past beautifully illuminated monuments, streets and waterways, allowing you to experience the city in a new way, completely different!
In the early morning, the SE-Manon will set sail for Antwerp. During breakfast, enjoy the stunning views of the passing landscape. Seize the day taking a stroll through the charming city of Antwerp, or take your time to prepare and get dressed for New Year`s Eve. In the evening, a festive New Year`s Eve Dinner will await you and you can look forward to a spectacular fireworks display lightening up the night sky over Antwerp.
New year`s Day you will spend exploring Antwerp, the city of Diamonds. During the 15th and 16th century, the city was considered one of most important commercial metropolis in Europe, and hence was very wealthy. An important share in building this wealth was obtained by trading and processing diamonds. The city was also home of many artists, the most famous among them are Rubens and van Dyck.

Enjoy your last evening aboard over a glass of fine wine in the saloon and recall the many impressions of the last few days.
