Sunday - Transfer from the designated hotel in Amsterdam to the Marjorie II, moored at Haarlem. After a drink to welcome you on
board, you can visit the Frans Hals Museum and its collection of Old Masters. Other highlights include St. Bavo's Cathedral on the
main square where both Handel and Mozart played the magnificent Muller organ.
Monday - After an early breakfast you'll take a trip to the Aalsmeer flower auction, where some 17 million cut flowers are
auctioned every day. Returning to the boat, you'll cruise on to Leiden. This is a very charming University town with the American
Pilgrim museum that tells the stories of the founders of New England, the Pilgrims.
Tuesday - This morning marks a cruising highlight: a walk through the glorious Keukenhof Gardens, Holland's best-known
gardens park, with more than 70 acres filled with over 6 million flowering bulbs. You'll stroll through breathtaking waves of color
on this unforgettable half-day excursion. Back on board, Marjorie II cruise's through beautiful landscapes to Delft.
Wednesday - Delft is a fascinating town, full of small canals and humpbacked bridges and best explored by bike or on foot.
Many beautiful buildings illustrate the city's historic connection with the Dutch East India Company. The birthplace of Jan Vermeer,
Delft is also famous for its tableware, and you'll visit a factory to learn how this world-famous porcelain is made. Then, back on the
barge, you'll cruise through Rotterdam, the largest port in the world on the way to Antwerp.
Thursday - Antwerp, where the three "must-see" sights are baroque painter Pieter Paul Rubens' house, the Plantin-Moretus house,
a printing plant and shop in service between 1555 and 1876, and of course Belgium's largest Gothic cathedral. This evening you should
go to the "Grote Markt" to drink one of the more than 100 kinds of Belgian Beers.
Today Marjorie II will cruise on the Schelde River to Gent. This river has a tide difference of more than 20 feet and a strong
current.
Friday - A first and lasting impression of Ghent is of its marvelous medieval structures whose sturdy stone facades reflect
well in canal waters. You'll visit the Castle of the Counts. This magnificent, almost unrivalled example of a feudal fortress of
the Counts of Flanders has a massive medieval shape that rises from the reflective waters of its moat, it was built about 1180.
Then Marjorie II will cruise to your final mooring, Bruges. The day ends with this evening's gala Farewell Dinner.
Saturday - After breakfast, disembark and transfer to your Bruges or Brussels hotel or airport.
