Day 1: Cologne
DEP 05:00 PM
We will set off on our exciting Rhine cruise from here, heading for the northern or the southern Rhine. But you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore this cathedral city, with its wealth of monuments and attractions. The best way is to arrive the day before your cruise departs so that you can relax – or simply extend your stay in Cologne after the cruise has ended.
Day 2: Amsterdam
ARR 09:00 AM
DEP 11:59 PM
Amsterdam is an incredibly varied city. It’s old yet modern, relaxed yet bustling, and arty while also being commercial. With almost 7,500 listed buildings, it has the highest concentration of historical monuments in the whole country. When your Rhine cruise calls at Amsterdam, you’ll be able to discover a piece of history around every corner.
Day 3: Rotterdam
ARR 08:00 AM
DEP 02:00 PM
Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. Known as ‘Manhattan on the Maas’, it has a more urban, international atmosphere than anywhere else in the whole country. In recent years, Rotterdam has become a centre for architecture – its large architect-designed houses testament to the city’s modernity. With a little luck, you’ll see other cruise ships during your day in Rotterdam, since Europe’s largest maritime port is a major transport hub.
Day 4: Nijmegen
ARR 08:00 AM
DEP 01:00 PM
Did you know that Nijmegen is the oldest city in the Netherlands? You only need to cross the Waalburg arch bridge into the centre to understand why the 160,000 inhabitants are so proud of their city: the Waalkade wharf and the silhouette of the city-centre buildings combine to form a truly impressive sight. In this Hanseatic city, tradition and modernity go hand in hand. Discover this wonderful spot directly from your A-ROSA ship during your Rhine cruise.
Day 5: Cologne
ARR 06:00 AM
In Cologne, your exciting Rhine Cruise comes to an end. But before you start the journey home with a thousand memories of your journey, why not take advantage of the day to look around in North Rhine-Westphalia or explore the cathedral city? Once in Kölle, one should also have visited the cathedral. See you soon and Ahoy!
