Arnhem - One of the delights of river cruising is the enchanting experience of waking somewhere new, the water gently lapping as the ship glides almost imperceptibly along. We’re now deep in the heart of Holland, passing flower-bedecked houseboats, flocks of wildfowl and, of course, windmills! We’ll soon arrive in Nijmegen and from here we visit Arnhem, synonymous with the ill-fated 1944 aerial assault depicted in the film A Bridge Too Far. We’ll visit the battle HQ of the British 1st Airborne Division at Oosterbeek, now an excellent museum, and the Commonwealth War Cemetery, the final resting place of so many. Back on board, we’ll continue our passage along the Dutch waterways, before enjoying another sumptuous dinner on board, as distant lights glint on the waterfront as we silently slip by.
