Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Rijksmuseum & Amsterdam by Canal

The Great Dutch Masters and the City That Inspired Them See the best of Amsterdam by canal and by motor coach, followed by an enriching visit to the Rijksmuseum. Meet your guide at our berth, then enjoy an informative overview of the city by canal boat, wending your way past elegant gabled houses and under charming arched bridges. The canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, were dug during the Dutch Gold Age for the dual purpose of managing the city's water and facilitating the movement of goods from Amsterdam into the countryside. Now, they offer an excellent way to see the city. Your ride concludes with admission to the Rijksmuseum. Explore the galleries of the great Dutch and European masters independently. Or, for greater enlightenment, join a tour with commentary that leads you to numerous works of art, including Rembrandt’s The Night Watch . After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore more before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
