Highlights of the Rhine New Year's Cruise

Happy New Year in Holland & Belgium!

From Duisburg to Amsterdam (Lelystad*), Dordrecht, Rotterdam and Nijmegen to Duisburg.

Celebrate New Year's Eve in the Netherlands! Party in the countries most futuristic city: Rotterdam. It is guaranteed to raise your spirits. Fireworks light up the sky and are reflected in the canals below. The colourful, narrow merchants’ houses, all of which seem to mock the invention of the spirit level, are irresistible, as are the Netherlands locals, who are always ready to party. But this cruise has even more to offer: Rubens fans will be in their element in the artist’s home town of Antwerp. Antwerp is also the home of the diamond trade. Indeed, diamonds provided the city with the wealth that keeps it looking magnificent. Followed by Dordrecht, which is another feast for the eyes. The city is located right at the waterfront and offers impressive architectural monuments and charming little harbours in the middle of town. This is just how a new year should start: with a wealth of completely new experiences. Gelukkig nieuwjaar!

Rotterdam

Netherland's second largest city. The home of the continent’s biggest sea port is a thriving metropolis that doesn't scrimp on modern buildings or international flair. Over the past 20 years, a number of impressive new skyscrapers have sprung up – and there’s no sign of this trend stopping yet.

Amsterdam

The lively ringing of bicycles welcomes the new year in Amsterdam. The popular means of transportation is the most flexible way to get to know all the exciting corners here. Always riding along the historic canals, you can see the countless boats and wonderful old merchants' houses. There are also a lot of small stores where you can find special souvenirs. How about a stroll through the nine-street district? Or a visit to one of the city's many museums? How you start the new year is entirely up to you.

Dordrecht

Welcome to Dordrecht! The charming little town that is also affectionately known as “the pearl of the south”. A mixture of history, culture and nature awaits you in Dordrecht, making your river cruise an unforgettable experience. Immerse yourself in the rich history of the city, enjoy the picturesque canals and let yourself be enchanted by the hospitable atmosphere.

Like Dortmund and Bochum, Duisburg became well known as a major location for the iron and steel industries. Nowadays, this city in the Ruhr region is a scientific hub and home to high-tech companies. Situated right on the Rhine, Duisburg is also one of the world’s most important inland ports.

Amsterdam is an incredibly varied city. It’s old yet modern, relaxed yet bustling, and arty while also being commercial. With almost 7,500 listed buildings, it has the highest concentration of historical monuments in the whole country. When your Rhine cruise calls at Amsterdam, you’ll be able to discover a piece of history around every corner. 

*In individual cases, the local authorities in Amsterdam may not confirm the reserved berths. If no berth is allocated, our guests will be provided with a shuttle bus to Amsterdam.

The Romans astutely identified the ideal location along the Rhine River nearly 2,000 years ago, laying the foundation for the oldest city in the Netherlands. Today, this Hanseatic city captivates visitors with its rich historical sites and the vibrant energy brought by its thriving student population. Nijmegen's liveliness extends to its city beaches, where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of its unique surroundings.
