Amsterdam, Utrecht. Clustered by historic houses and studded with low bridges, Amsterdam's network of 17th-century canals lends the city its nickname – 'The Venice of the North'. Today, you'll board a glass-top boat and glide past the city's impressive waterside facades. Back on land, enjoy some free time before travelling by coach via Rembrandt's Windmill, immortalised in the artist's paintings, to Utrecht. From here, your ship will set off along the Rhine as you enjoy a special Gala Dinner. BLD Day 7. Bonn, Drachenburg Castle. Having entered Germany, cruise through Cologne and be astounded by the magnificent Cologne Cathedral on the river bank. Your cruise continues to Bonn, where you will be able to explore this picturesque city. One of Germany's oldest cities, it was discovered in the first-century BC as a Roman settlement. Like a Local – ride a scenic funicular train to the hilltops and enjoy a visit to the majestic 19th-century Drachenburg Castle, a highly favoured local treasure. During your private tour, absorb the impeccable gardens and have your camera ready to capture the superb views of the surrounding valleys. This evening, enjoy a delicious dinner on board your river ship, then perhaps retreat to the lounge for a nightcap. BLD Day 8. Rhine Gorge, Rüdesheim. Continue cruising to experience a true highlight of the holiday – cruising through the Rhine Gorge, considered by locals to be the most beautiful section of the Rhine River. Watch in awe as steep slopes covered in vineyards and dotted with ancient castles drift past, before your ship docks in Rüdesheim, a Rhine Gorge wine town. Here, the Winzerexpress mini-train will take you through the town to Siegfried's Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum, which houses the most beautiful collection of automated musical instruments in Germany. BLD Day 9. Wertheim. Like a Local – be greeted by the friendly locals and learn about their culture as you are welcomed into their homes for coffee and cake. Explore the beautifully evocative town of Wertheim as you uncover the town's history dating back to the 7th century. Back on board, enjoy time at leisure. BLD Day 10. Würzburg. The architectural beauty that defines Würzburg is on show today as you visit Würzburg Residence, a magnificent palace with its grand staircase, chapel and salon. Here, a walk through Würzburg Court Garden is a delight for both nature and art lovers, with its terraced gardens and water basin encircled by yew trees. BLD Day 11. Bamberg. One of the few German cities that wasn't destroyed during World War II, World Heritage- listed Bamberg beckons this morning. Gain a great local insight during a locally guided tour of the beautiful city centre. Later, your ship will reach the Main-Danube Canal. BLD Day 12. Disembark Ship, Nuremberg, Depart Munich.
