Relaxation at sea
La Coruna/Spain, 8.00 – 18.00 hrs
Located on a peninsula between two Atlantic bays, the sea is part of everyday life in the city. From here, you can experience Santiago de Compostela* – the famous pilgrimage site, UNESCO World Heritage Site, magnificent medieval city and the end of the Way of Saint James. If you wish, you can even hike the legendary final stage*.

From here, it is also easy to reach the monastic island of Mont Saint Michel* in the Wadden Sea and the oyster capital of Cancale*. It’s also worth walking around medieval St. Malo and its famous fortified walls.
St. Peter Port , departure 14.00 hrs
The capital of Guernsey is considered the most beautiful city in the Channel Islands and offers a very special blend of experiences: while the sea is cool even in high summer, it has a Mediterranean climate in which bananas grow – plus Breton-like houses in a picturesque maze of terraces and steps. Enjoy stunning views on a hike* along steep cliffs and sandy beaches.
Antwerp/Belgium, 13.00 – 0.00 hrs
The peaked gables of the merchants’ houses, Grote Markt and art nouveau: Antwerp is both elegant and cosmopolitan. Tours* in Rubens’s footsteps and through the unique bar scene* will help you get to know the Flemish coastal city.
Amsterdam/Netherlands, arrival 13.00 hrs
Some call it the “Venice of the North” – others say Amsterdam need not compare itself with any other city. Very few European capitals are as cosy, have such stunning architecture or possess so many unique cultural treasures. Get to know this lovely city on a canal trip* or a walk* through the singular red light district.
TULIPS AND BICYCLES*
Cycle through Amsterdam and to the Bloemenmarkt, where hundreds of types of tulip are sold on boats.
