Savor Old World Amsterdam

Discover the Netherlands through its iconic canals and dikes, fabled ports and villages and first-rate cuisine and libations.

About Your Trip

On this adults-only Platinum DreamTrip, experience the distinct charm and flavors of the Netherlands. Your first excursion puts you in Enkhuizen, among the country’s most important ports of the storied Dutch East India Company due to its large marina. Stroll through the old town area to admire the historic grandeur that still exists, then cross the IJsselmeer lake on the extensive Houtribdijk dike. At your next destination, Giethoorn, delight in discovering why the idyllic spot is referred to as the “Venice of the Netherlands.” Only fully accessible by boat, the village is known for its numerous wooden arch bridges and canals, which you will see firsthand by boat after a delicious 3-course lunch.

The next afternoon, create your own itinerary before boarding a nighttime Dutch cheese-and-wine cruise. Savor a sumptuous cheese platter and carefully selected wines as you drift down Amsterdam’s captivating canals and marvel at city highlights.

After another day of exploring at your leisure, relish an evening encounter with one of the world’s oldest distillers. At the legendary House of Bols, learn how to mix classic and contemporary cocktails with the help of expert instructors and some of the finest spirits available. You will also tour the facilities while sipping a drink crafted by the master bartenders.

What we love:
• 17th-century Canal Ring of Amsterdam was named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2010.
• The Amsterdam Tulip Museum gives guests an amusing look into the story behind the iconic Dutch flower.
• The Vondelpark, a public urban park, covers 120 acres (49 hectares) and features an open-air theater, playground, bars and restaurants, extensive bike and walking paths and more.
• Museumplein is the cultural hub of the city — the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam are all located there.

Destination

As capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam is a city of extensive canals and plenty of culture — it’s home to one of the broadest varieties of nationalities of any city in the world. Due to its relatively small size for a major city, Amsterdam is one of the most bike-friendly metropolitan areas in the world, with nearly 250 miles (402 kilometers) of bike paths offering leisurely exploration of the city. Another popular and charming way to take in the capital is via the extensive canal system, which is the city's hallmark feature.

The Rembrandt House Museum, Jewish Historical Museum and Anne Frank House open doors to the city's past, while modern attractions including Amsterdam Icebar and Tropenmuseum reveal its progressive attitude. Another popular destination is the Leidseplein square, with its shops, restaurants, street performers, food stalls, and bustling nightlife.
