    This tour is geared toward those who like to explore a destination at their own pace and discretion.


    Leaving the pier by coach with your escort, you will travel approximately 1-hour to reach the center of Amsterdam. Upon arrival, you will disembark your coach and have nearly 6-hours to discover all the delights of Amsterdam. Although this is a non-guided tour, your escort will be at your disposal for 1-hour after arrival to answer any questions you may have and provide you with a city map for your convenience.


    Spend your day in this exciting city doing exactly what you like, how you like. Meals and entrance fees to any attractions are not included and local currency will be required in many places; therefore, it is suggested that you exchange your money on board the ship or at a local currency exchange in Amsterdam upon arrival.


    At the appointed time and location, you will re-join your coach for the return transfer to the pier. Those who fail to be on time for the return transfer will be responsible for making their own way back to the ship, at their own expense.

    Transfer to Museum Square where the famous Van Gogh Museum is located. The museum houses the world’s largest collection of the 19th century master's paintings and drawings. The collection is as unique as Van Gogh himself, who is as famous for lopping off his own earlobe as he is for his amazing, colorful, post-Impressionist renditions of sunflowers, potato-eaters and tortured self-portraits. Upon arrival, your guide will brief you before you enter and then you will have approximately 2-hours to explore the museum on your own, assisted by an audio guide. Experience the painter's life and strangely somber work as you browse among the numerous paintings and drawings on display.

    Glide through the Venice of the North in a fitting manner, via glass-roofed canal boat. It’s an incomparable way to experience this cosmopolitan city that stretches over some 70 islands and boasts 60 miles of canals and 1,000 bridges. An obscure port mostly visited by fisherman back in the 13th century, Amsterdam steadily grew in trade importance – blossoming into one of the world’s most important ports as the Dutch Golden Age gained steam. On this relaxed waterway tour, you’ll traverse some of the four concentric canal rings that define the old city center while learning much of the history behind this watery network from your guide. Along the way, expect to pass countless variations on the signature gabled canal house design the city is so famous for. Just as colorful are the procession of houseboats and tiny skiffs tied up in organized randomness along the stone canal banks. The designated route brings you by such major monuments as the National Maritime Museum, magnificent Town Hall (once considered Europe’s largest administrative building).
