Amsterdam City Tour | March 25–28, 2027

This is designed for the way we like to travel:

• You won’t feel rushed or herded from place to place
• You’ll have private guiding where it matters (no straining to hear, no big groups)
• You’ll have free time to explore without feeling like you’re missing something
• You’ll arrive to the cruise rested—not depleted
• And just as importantly—you’ll already know the women you’re traveling with

It’s a calmer, more enjoyable way to begin.

The price per per for a single room is $ 4,467.00

The price per per for a Double room is $ 2,666.00

The family-run boutique Hotel Estherea is housed in a row of 17th century buildings on the Singel, Amsterdam's oldest major canal and part of the ring of canals recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Dream away with the richly colored interior, the crystal chandeliers, the lavish fabrics and the expressive prints. Each of the 93 guestrooms and suites are individually styled, with no two alike. Located in the heart of Amsterdam, Dam Square, the central railway station, the main shopping area, museums, theaters, dining options and night life are all within walking distance. While there's no full restaurant on site, guests can relax with a cocktail and light snack at the on-site bar.

Classic Rooms are located on the inside overlooking the courtyard. These rooms are equipped with a luxurious bathroom with all amenities, radio and television, safety deposit box, mini-bar, air conditioning, telephone with voice mail, wireless internet access, and a DVD player and docking station on request.

Hotel Estherea offers a bar with cocktails and snacks, as well as an on-site fitness center available to guests.

We’ve built this intentionally—enough structure to feel taken care of, with space to make it your own.

Day 1 – A First Look at Amsterdam
We head out on foot with a private guide and ease into the city—walking the canals, exploring the historic center, and getting a feel for how Amsterdam actually works.
At just the right moment, we take to the water for a small boat canal cruise—because seeing Amsterdam from the canals isn’t optional… it’s essential.

Day 2 – Art, History, and Context That Actually Sticks
We walk to Museumplein and spend the morning inside the Rijksmuseum with a guide who knows how to make it manageable—and interesting.
No wandering aimlessly. No overload. Just the highlights that matter, with the stories behind them.

Day 3 – Completely Your Day
Visit the Anne Frank House if it’s on your list (tickets must be booked individually in advance), explore neighborhoods like Jordaan, or settle into a café and let the day unfold naturally.

We’ll also give you curated suggestions—from museums like the Van Gogh Museum to hidden local spots—so you’re never wondering what to do.

Day 4 – A Gentle Transition
One last slow morning in Amsterdam before we transfer together to the ship in the afternoon—already relaxed and ready for the next part of the journey.

• A thoughtfully designed pre-cruise itinerary
• 3 nights in a centrally located Amsterdam hotel
• Private guided walking tour of the city
• Small group canal cruise
• Guided visit to the Rijksmuseum
• Daily breakfast
• All transfers during scheduled activities, including transfer to the ship
• Luggage handling (1 suitcase + 1 carry-on per person)
• 24/7 in-destination support from our local team

Many of you will want to visit the Anne Frank House—and for good reason. It’s one of the most meaningful and powerful experiences in Amsterdam.

A few important things to know:

• All tickets must be purchased online in advance through the official website (they are not available at the door or through group bookings)
• Tickets are released every Tuesday at 10:00 AM CEST for visits taking place six weeks later
• Entry is by timed ticket only, so you’ll select a specific date and time when booking
• Payment is by credit card or bank card only

My advice? Set a reminder.
Tickets sell out quickly, and if this is something you want to see, it’s worth planning ahead. SET AN ALARM TO REMIND YOURSELF TO BUY A TICKET 6 WEEKS AHEAD OF THE VISIT!

“I almost didn’t book the pre-trip because I thought I didn’t need it. It ended up being one of my favorite parts of the entire journey. I arrived relaxed, got to know everyone before the cruise even started, and actually felt like I experienced Amsterdam instead of just passing through.”
