Tour details
Individual arrival for embarkation in the Rhine metropolis of Düsseldorf. Our on-board tour guide will welcome you with a glass of sparkling wine. In the evening, it's time to cast off for Rotterdam.
Welcome to Rotterdam! The most dynamic city in the Netherlands is one of the country's cultural centers. On an optional city tour, past the famous Market Hall and the iconic Cube Houses - a walk through Rotterdam can feel like being in an open-air design museum - you will gain an initial insight into this multifaceted city. In the afternoon, experience one of the world's largest ports with all its hustle and bustle. An experience not to be missed: Marvel at the huge container terminals up close and admire the architectural variety of Rotterdam's skyline (optional).
You arrive in Ghent in time for breakfast.
In the morning, we offer you the opportunity to discover Bruges, also known as the Venice of the North, on an optional city tour. Stroll through the historic old town past the imposing bell tower, majestic churches and old windmills.
At dusk, the charming city of Ghent will enchant you on a light walk. Architectural accents, streets, monuments and squares are aesthetically illuminated. Experience the city in a new and completely different way on this evening tour (optional)!
Early in the morning, the SE Manon sets off on its journey to Antwerp. Enjoy the view of the passing landscape over breakfast. Use the day to stroll through the enchanting city of Antwerp or relax comfortably on the sun deck.
Spend the day exploring the diamond city of Antwerp. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Antwerp was one of the most important trading centers in Europe and was consequently very wealthy. The trade in diamonds and their processing played a not insignificant part in this. The city was also home to many artists. The most famous of these are Rubens and van Dyck. Discover Antwerp during a short city tour followed by a walk through the historic center. In the afternoon, there will be enough time to explore Antwerp on your own and perhaps take a short break in one of the many cafés on the Grote Markt. In the evening, the MS SE-MANON sets sail for Nijmegen.
In the morning, your ship arrives in the cozy Hanseatic city of Nijmegen. At more than 2000 years old, Nijmegen is the oldest city in Holland. Around the market square you will find the St. Stevenskerk, medieval town houses, restaurants and galleries. Discover this diverse city on a guided city tour (optional).
Enjoy your last evening on board with a good glass of wine in the saloon and reflect on the many impressions of the last few days before your captain invites you to a gala dinner.
After breakfast, disembarkation and individual return journey.

Important notice Please bear in mind that your ship is not only your “vacation hotel”, but also a piece of equipment that is powered by an engine and has to be operated constantly, even at night (sometimes with lock and bridge passages). We recommend that guests who are particularly sensitive to noise bring earplugs. Disturbances must always be expected when passing through locks. Please note: at low water, the pool may have to be emptied to reduce the draught of the ship and is then not available.
