2013 - APT Europe River Cruising

Day 9. Cologne. This morning, your cruise continues on to Cologne. Here, disembark and enjoy a walking tour of the Old Town and Cathedral Square. See several of the city's landmarks as well as Kölner Dom – the famous Gothic cathedral around which Cologne is centred. Or perhaps set off on a guided tour by bicycle. Afterwards, you will have free time to linger in the cathedral, browse the many nearby shops or perhaps enjoy a glass of Kölsch, Cologne's famous beer. Amsterdam NETHERLANDS Rhine River 7 Aria River Ship BELGIUM BLD Day 10. Amsterdam. Thanks to its waterways, Amsterdam enjoys a leisurely pace. The city's network of 17th-century canals are clustered with historic houses and studded with low bridges, so it's easy to see why this capital city is also known as The Venice of the North. This morning, on arrival in Amsterdam, you'll board a glass-top boat and glide past the city's impressive waterside facades. Later, back on land, enjoy a city tour of Amsterdam, taking in the major sights before stopping off at Rembrandt's famous Windmill, which was immortalised in the artist's acclaimed paintings. The rest of the day is then at your leisure. BLD Day 11. Depart Amsterdam. Your journey ends today after breakfast as you disembark your ship and are transferred to the airport.
