8D Dutch Delight - UNIWORLD

Amsterdam (Embark), Amsterdam, Lemmer, Harlingen, Harlingen, Nijmegen, Willemstad, Rotterdam, Schoonhoven, Schoonhoven, Zaandam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam (Disembark)

Dive into Dutch history, culture and cuisine on a river cruise through the Netherlands.

Windmills, delicious cheeses, colorful flowers, a rich art history and more bikes than you can possibly imagine—the Netherlands is like nowhere else on earth. See the full spectrum of Dutch life, landscapes and customs on visits to bustling cities and small rural villages.

With an entire third of the country below sea level, it takes a complicated system of inland waterways and flood barriers to keep the Netherlands afloat, including the Delta Works architectural marvel that was named the 8th wonder of the world. It’s no wonder, then, that Dutch culture is so deeply tied to the water. Experience the many ways this plays out as you sail your own boat in a lakeside resort town, visit charming port towns, taste pickled herring and, of course, stroll through endless canal-lined streets.
