Voyage Itinerary
Before you board

During your time here, enjoy a guided walking tour to discover the city's treasures including the magnificent Grand-Place central square. Then, transfer to Bruges where you will enjoy a two-night stay, including a guided walking tour of the beautifully preserved medieval centre, the chance to try Flemish cuisine at a welcome dinner with your fellow travellers, a choice between a canal cruise or beer and chocolate tasting, as well as time at leisure to explore independently. Following your time here, transfer by road to Amsterdam where you will board Scenic Ruby and begin your river cruise.
7 April
Netherlands: Amsterdam
Amsterdam is one of our very favourite cities to visit, and comes alive with vibrant spring colours during tulip season. There is a wealth of famous museums and galleries to choose from, such as the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House.
8 April
Netherlands: Dordrecht
Dordrecht was first granted a town charter in the 13th century, and its importance as a merchant city is reflected in the delightful historic architecture of the old harbour. Just outside the city is the watery expanse of Biesbosch National Park, a freshwater delta criss-crossed by walking trails and cycle paths.
9 April
Netherlands: Veere
10 April
Belgium: Antwerp
Antwerp is a city bound up with the arts, once home to the likes of Rubens and Van Dyck, and more recently carving out a reputation as the fashion capital of Belgium. It’s also a magnet for shopaholics, with designer boutiques and jewellers galore.
11 April
Netherlands: Arnhem
In September 1944 the Allies launched Operation Market Garden, a huge airborne assault designed to establish a bridgehead on the river Rhine. The operation went disastrously wrong at Arnhem, as immortalised in the 1977 film ‘A Bridge Too Far’, and your visit offers the chance to learn more about this infamous battle.
12 April
Netherlands: Hoorn
One of the jewels of the IJselmeer lake, the port of Hoorn was an important base for the Dutch East India Company, and you can still see plenty of evidence of the prosperity that the town enjoyed during its 17th-century heyday. There are some lovely restaurants, galleries and shops to explore, and the lake is a popular location for watersports.
