Tour details
Individual arrival for embarkation in Düsseldorf. Our on-board tour guide will welcome you with a glass of sparkling wine before we cast off for the first time on this cruise at around 18:00.
Today we are going to Keukenhof, the “most beautiful spring park in the world”, which is only open from March to May. Every year, over seven million flower bulbs are planted, including 800 varieties of tulips. Marvel at the colorful splendor of the flowers. Not only worth seeing for flower lovers. (Full-day excursion with lunch/packed lunch included in the price).
At around 18:00, cast off and off we go to Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands.
Welcome to Rotterdam! The most dynamic city in the Netherlands is one of the country's cultural centers. On a combined excursion comprising a city tour and harbor cruise (optional), you will stroll past the famous market hall and the iconic cube houses before cruising through one of the world's largest ports and admiring the huge container terminals up close. An unmistakable insight into this multifaceted city.
Experience Delft in the afternoon. Known for its beautiful blue porcelain and the famous painter Johannes Vermeer, Delft also looks back on a varied and exciting history, which you will learn about on this optional city tour. An experience not to be missed.
A whole day to explore the diamond city of Antwerp. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Antwerp was one of the most important trading cities 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 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, MS SE-Manon sets sail for Nijmegen.
In the morning you reach 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 walk (optional). In the afternoon, visit a local brewery on an optional guided tour followed by a tasting.
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.

Itinerary or program are subject to change at any time. If due to low or high water levels, or bad weather conditions, a route cannot be sailed, the captain reserves the right to alter the itinerary for your safety. (No legal right shall arise in either situation). The same shall apply for repair or maintenance works on locks and bridges ordered by river and other local authorities with little or no advance.
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.
