Join a guided visit of Amsterdam and a visit to a diamond merchant. The city has been a major diamond center since the late 16th century, and since then it has been known as the City of Diamonds. In the afternoon, visit the Van Gogh Museum. It houses the largest collection of works by Vincent Van Gogh, including more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings, and 700 of his letters. It also has a few works by other renowned artists such as Paul Gauguin and Claude Monet. Enjoy a free evening or why not discover the famous Red Light District through an optional tour (book and pay on board). Although the famous neighborhood leaves nothing to the imagination, it’s also one of the oldest and most beautiful parts of the city. Overnight stop.

Spend the morning cruising towards Utrecht and arrive by midday. In the afternoon, make a visit to Delft and Rotterdam. Delft is a charming city dating back to the 13th century and is world-renowned for its blue and white Delft pottery. Admire the centuries-old techniques of this imitation porcelain. Then visit Rotterdam, a city dominated by modern architecture. While you are enjoying the tour, the ship cruises to Rotterdam, where you must board it at the end of the afternoon. The evening’s entertainment is presented by the crew. Overnight stop.

Begin your day with an early morning start cruising towards Antwerp. Pass Dordrecht and enter the Holland Diep — crossing though the Volkerak and Kreekak locks. After crossing the Dutch-Belgian border, continue up the Scheldt River to Antwerp, the second largest harbor in the world after Rotterdam. In the afternoon, join a guided visit of Antwerp and its impressive Gothic cathedral, and finally make a visit to the Diamondland. Over five centuries, Antwerp was the commercial heart of Europe and approximately 40% of world trade passed through its ports. The diamond industry naturally grew out of this favored position. Return on board and enjoy a Gala evening. Overnight stop.

This morning enjoy an early breakfast on board before disembarking the MS Mona Lisa.
