5Nights

Rhine Urban Charm & Windmills 2027

Highlights of the Cruise on the Rhine

Bustling cities in a magnificent landscape.

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

Striking skylines and vibrant landscapes dotted with picturesque windmills set the scene. In Duisburg, you can feel the urban energy of the Rhine, which continues downstream into impressive cityscapes and wide horizons. In Rotterdam, you'll find modern maritime architecture, the iconic Erasmus Bridge and an abundance of creativity. Amsterdam builds on this energy and invites you to explore its canals, narrow gabled houses and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Two cities that will inspire you with their open-mindedness and urban charm. In Nijmegen, you'll discover historic squares, Roman ruins and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. A journey that offers a perfect balance of energy and tranquillity.

Amsterdam

Few European cities are as diverse as Amsterdam, with its multicultural charm, historic canal district and the highest concentration of museums in the world. Don’t miss the Rijksmuseum, which was restored to its former glory several years ago following a decade-long renovation project. Follow the locals’ example and explore by bike, or take a trip along the canals and discover Amsterdam from the water. Children of all ages will enjoy the NEMO Science Museum, where they can create bubbles big enough to stand in, make liquorice and learn why water is see-through.

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.

Nijmegen

The Romans were already aware of the perfect location on the Rhine a good 2,000 years ago when they founded the oldest city in the Netherlands. Today, the cityscape of the Hanseatic city is not only characterized by historical sites from that time, but also by numerous students. The liveliness of Nijmegen can also be experienced on one of the many city beaches in unique surroundings. 

Itinerary

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.

Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban and international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country. Be prepared to be amazed by the fantastic skyline, featuring the the Erasmusbrug bridge. Rotterdam is home to Europe’s largest port, as well as being a major transport hub. It's no surprise that this is a centre of contemporary architecture, featuring the famoust Kijk-Kubus, and the Witte Huis, which was the first skyscraper in Europe. Several impressive new skyscrapers have sprung up over the past 20 years.

Few European cities are as diverse as Amsterdam, with its multicultural charm, relaxed atmosphere, historic canal district and the highest concentration of museums in the world. Don’t miss the Van Gogh Museum or the Rijksmuseum, which was restored to its former glory several years ago following a decade-long renovation project. Follow the locals’ example and explore by bike or take a trip along the canals and discover Amsterdam from the water. 

*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.

Did you know that Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands? You only need to cross the Waalburg arch bridge into the centre to understand why the 160,000 inhabitants are so proud of their city: the Waalkade wharf and the silhouette of the city-centre buildings combine to form a truly impressive sight. In this Hanseatic city, tradition and modernity go hand in hand. 

Enjoy the Day on board with a dreamy view of the passing landscape and look forward to relaxation. Tip: In the SPA-ROSA you can really spoil yourself.
