Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Leisurely Dutch Countryside

Travel Through Stunning Dutch Landscapes Enjoy the beautiful Dutch landscape on a leisurely drive, stopping in a fishing village to taste local snacks. You will get a sense of why this area has been described as “a creative masterpiece, created by humans.” Embark on a scenic drive by motor coach to Zaanse Schans, a charming neighborhood renowned for its collection of windmills and wooden homes from the 18th and 19th centuries. This former industrial area once featured more than 1,000 windmills; today, 13 remain. Upon arrival, tour the interior of a windmill and gain insight into its inner workings, then return to your coach and transfer to the picturesque fishing village of Volendam, known for its quaint streets and historic buildings. Sample some local fish delicacies in this stunning lakeside location, including pieces of crispy cod. After, return by coach to your awaiting 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.
