Cruise Description |
4 Nights from Cologne to Rotterdam, Huizen and Emmerich to Cologne.
Day 1: Cologne
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
Day 2: Rotterdam
Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban, international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country. In recent years, Rotterdam has become a centre for architecture – its large architect-designed houses testament to the city’s modernity. With a little luck, you’ll see other cruise ships during your day in Rotterdam, since Europe’s largest maritime port is a major transport hub.
Day 3: Huizen
Welcome to the Dutch city of Huizen! The city is located on the banks of the Gooimeer, part of the IJsselmeer, and is known for its picturesque location, historic architecture and maritime atmosphere. Huizen has a rich history as a fishing village, but over the years the economy has diversified to include trade, tourism and services. Visitors can explore the charming old town with its traditional houses, cozy cafés, stores and marina. The surrounding nature offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling and water sports, making Huizen a popular destination for locals and tourists alike.
Day 4: Emmerich
The small beautiful town of Emmerich on the lower Lower Rhine gives you a nice time out on land during your cruise. Here you can take a stroll along the promenade and enjoy the magnificent view of the Rhine while discovering the "Golden Gate Bridge of the Lower Rhine", a suspension bridge spanning over the Rhine, which, just like its role model, can be seen from afar in vibrant red. Definitely worth taking a souvenir photo!
Day 5: Cologne
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs, so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended. |
