We travel to Dover for the ferry crossing to Calais and then onwards to our overnight hotel in Northern France in time for dinner.

We continue to Amsterdam to join the MPS Rotterdam in time for lunch. You can relax on board or explore Amsterdam, with its historic canals, cobbled streets and coffee shops. An optional city tour will be offered to show you some of the main sights, or you might prefer a gentle canal cruise.

Today we cruise to the city of Schoonhoven, nicknamed the ‘silver city’ due to its long tradition of silver making. There is also a history of clock making here and the city is home to the Dutch Gold, Silver and Clock Museum.

The sail to Dordrecht cruises past the small village of Kinderdijk, which is unique for its 19 windmills dating back to the 16th century. We then stop at the city of Dordrecht with its canals, merchant houses, church with uncompleted leaning tower and shops full of sheep-related souvenirs, before heading to Rotterdam.

An included excursion to Keukenhof today takes us to the largest flower gardens in the world, with colourful and vibrant displays of over seven million bulbs of all types to enjoy. Our final night on ship is moored in Amsterdam, enjoy a farewell dinner with the captain and fellow cruise passengers.

Time to say goodbye to Holland and the MPS Rotterdam as we journey by coach to our overnight hotel in Northern France to arrive just in time for dinner.

We travel to Calais for the ferry crossing to Dover and then home.
