Holland America Line

Zuiderdam

As you glide past some of the city's most interesting buildings and landmarks, sit back and enjoy a snack -- a cheese platter, French bread, nuts and red or white wine -- while your guide reveals some fascinating facts about the waterways of Holland.

You will visit the famous Van Gogh Museum to see the brilliant collection by the 19th-century master. Van Gogh is as famous for lopping off his own earlobe as he is for his amazing, colorful, post-Impressionist renditions of sunflowers and potato-eaters, as well as tortured self-portraits.

During a short canal cruise, watch for the many mansions and guild buildings dating from the Golden Century, when Dutch merchants traded prolifically with the Far East.

Amsterdam is the city of canals, bridges and diamonds. It boasts a unique charm that is owed to the endless canals that criss-cross the city and the tall, skinny canal houses that huddle on the banks of these busy waterways.

Just a short distance from Amsterdam lies the village of Zaanse Schans, located on the banks of the River Zaan. Bring your camera, as the scenery packed into this tiny park-village is quite remarkable. The windmills spaced along the river are quintessentially and beautifully Dutch -- the stuff of postcards. Enjoy a close-up view of how a windmill works.

This panoramic drive through the city will introduce you to the many and varied features of Northern Ireland’s largest city -- its industry and elegance, a rich and varied past, and 19th-century buildings that tell of its prosperous heyday.

Departing from the pier in Belfast you will travel to the nearby town of Larne, where you will join the scenic Antrim Coast Road. From the rugged cliffs of the coast to the magical beauty of the Glens, this is among the best northern Irish scenery. Each bend in the road reveals more dramatic headlands and bays. On a clear day, you may even be able to see Scotland's Mull of Kintyre. Glenariff Forest Park is situated amid the world famous Glens of Antrim -- an area that has attracted international visitors for more than a century.

At the Giant’s Causeway Visitor Centre, meet your National Trust tour guide and take your first steps onto the spectacular Causeway. This geological wonder, with its 40,000 basalt stone columns, was created by volcanic eruptions about 60 million years ago…Or was it built by warring giants? You’ll hear both sides of the story, so you can decide for yourself.

From your motorcoach, admire in the evening light the many delightful Victorian and Edwardian buildings of Belfast. Many of them feature elaborate sculptures over their doors and windows. Stone-carved heads of gods, poets, scientists, and kings and queens peer down from the high ledges of banks and old linen warehouses.

Belfast is a city of industry and elegance and boasts a rich and varied past. Its origins go back to an ancient fort controlling the ford across the River Lagan, which flows through the city. Built with 19th century industrial money, many fine buildings from this era grace the city still and are reminders of its prosperous past.

A panoramic drive through the wide streets brings you to the Customs House on the north bank of the River Liffey. Many mid-18th-century public buildings grace this area and Dublin's south side.

EPIC: The Irish Emigration Museum is an interactive experience that tells the fascinating stories of more than 300 Irish people and more than 1,500 years of history. It relives some of the greatest achievements in the world of Irish sport, music, art, culture, politics, food, fashion and science. Voted one of TripAdvisor's Top Five Irish Museums and claiming Europe’s Leading Tourist Attraction at World Travel Awards 2 years in a row, EPIC is for anyone with an interest in Ireland or Irish heritage.

Dublin is the capital of the Irish Republic and is home to more than 1¼ million people -- one third of the population of the Republic of Ireland. In addition to its splendid public buildings, Dublin is particularly rich in domestic architecture dating back to the 18th century. Fine Georgian mansions, many of them with historical associations, lend a sober beauty to the city's wide streets and spacious squares.

A panoramic drive from Dun Laoghaire brings you to the heart of bustling Dublin -- Ireland's capital city -- steeped in ancient history and youthful energy.

Tour through County Cork, a region steeped in 4,000 years of history, rich in culture and heritage. In the city of Cork, view the splendid French-Gothic Cathedral of St Fin Barre and the medieval core of the city, still intact.

Cork, Ireland's second-largest city (or the "real capital" of Ireland, as the inhabitants like to call it) is your first destination today. Criss-crossing the city's bridges, a panoramic drive takes you past St Fin Barre's Gothic Cathedral, the medieval Old Town, the University, City Hall and Shandon Bells.

In the city of the same name, you'll visit the newly-constructed House of Waterford Crystal. Since the closure of the original factory in 2009, only a limited production of crystal occurs here in Waterford. The new showrooms and exhibition will take you through a reconstruction of the production process and the finished product is here on display for you to browse through, or perhaps purchase a memento.

Measuring 104 acres, Spike Island commands a strategic position within the sheltered mouth of the lower reaches of Cork Harbour -- one of the largest natural harbors in the world. For centuries people have used the island for a host of different purposes. Written early-Christian evidence suggests that, in the 7th century, Saint Mochuda founded a monastic settlement on Spike Island with 20 brothers.

Departing from Cobh, travel via the Lee Tunnel to beautiful Kinsale. Upon arrival, take advantage of a photo stop at Charles Fort overlooking the wide expanse of Kinsale Harbour, and at the town itself. From here, drive the short distance to the town where time will be allowed for independent exploration. Kinsale is a winner of the European prize for Tourism & the Environment, Entente Florale, National Tidy Town and Gourmet Capital awards. It is a pretty little town lying snugly between hills and valley. Kinsale is safely sheltered by the rounded contours of its beautiful harbor and is believed to have been founded by the Anglo Normans in around 1177. It was a magnificent naval base in the 17th and 18th centuries, and seemed to have enjoyed a degree of prosperity uncommon for Ireland. For centuries, Kinsale had close European connections and, in 1966, became the first town to be awarded the Flag of the Council of Europe.
