“From Amsterdam to Iceland, Norway & British Isles”
July 31 ~ August 14, 2022
Aboard another brand new ocean liner! –
Come in early and enjoy a pre cruise hotel in Amsterdam.
Post cruise option is a River Cruise from Romania to Hungary.
Let’s cruise to Iceland, Norway and the UK on another
fabulous brand new ship!!
Starting in Amsterdam offers us the chance to explore the sights
of one of Europe’s most colorful, dynamic and
historic cities – one with a well-earned reputation as a
laid-back and inviting place for people of every stripe imaginable.
Visitors are naturally drawn to the historic city center where
you’ll find some of the world’s top art museums, including
the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. And at Dam Square,
Amsterdam’s largest public square, you can tour the Royal
Palace before continuing to the tourist attractions on the Canal Belt.
The iconic network of waterways that surrounds the downtown area offers
a picturesque backdrop for sightseeing by bike or canal boat. Be sure
to visit the floating Bloemenmarkt to peruse famed Dutch tulips, and
take time to wander and window-shop among the narrow lanes of de
Jordaan.
~ Do You Need Travel Insurance? ~
One option is Trip Insurance.
There are other choices, but we offer
Travel Guard for informational purposes.
And you won’t have to look far in Amsterdam to find delicious
Dutch treats along the way. Just duck into a cozy brown caf? to sample
a plate of bitterballen with mustard and a beer, and grab a gooey
sweet stroopwafel from a street vendor as you stroll. We are flying
in 4 days early to explore – please join us!
Then we sail the picturesque fjords to Bergen Norway where we step
off into the medieval Bryggen wharf where maritime tradition goes back
nearly 1000 years. Enjoy cobblestone streets, medieval cathedrals, stone
fortresses, local markets all surrounded by mountains and thick forests
– lots to do and see both inside and outside the city. Then to
all the stunning beauty you may associate with Norway, Molde
– breathtaking panoramas are on display with coastal drives,
mountain peaks, and clapboard homes and with a nickname as
“The City of Roses” – flowers are blooming everywhere
through August.
Our first stop in Iceland is Akureyri located at the head of 60 Km
Fjord – idyllic for the incredible landscape that surrounds it
– this is what Iceland is inescapably almost about! We simply
have not enough room here to describe all the picturesque wonders that
make up Iceland – we urge you to do more Google research by way
of looking up the stops we make there in Iceland, so you can enjoy it
so much more upon arrival.
Then we sail to the UK isles – from here you can visit
Scotland’s stunning Loch Ness – the body of water for the
world-famous the Loch Ness monster! Again, we run out of room to
adequately describe the adventure available with this cruise –
the visuals are so varied and vibrant – I would not do it justice
herein. I beg of you to look it up!!
Then there is more – that is, start your 2022 summer bucket
list of travels by departing from Amsterdam & sail to Iceland on
a brand new beautiful ship, and then if that is not enough, you can
join us for a river cruise August 15th by flying into Bucharest the
day before we board. Or you can simply join us for this Romania to
Hungary River Cruise – which has a pre-cruise package to
Istanbul!
Yes, this is the cruise from 2018 where the itinerary changed due
to water level issues. Yup – we are going again!! But this time
for those only doing this river cruise – you can do a pre-package
into Istanbul. Let’s go for an amazing vibrant week of tantalizing
visuals and tastes. The choices are yours!
