Enjoy a day of South Holland delights, beginning with two ways to explore Dordrecht, the oldest town in Holland. In the afternoon, marvel at the UNESCO-designated windmills of Kinderdijk or the Schoonhoven countryside. We’ll dock for the evening in Rotterdam, sometimes called “Manhattan on the Meuse” for its dazzling modern skyline. Take it all in from the viewing deck of the iconic Euromast tower during a Nights Out experience.

Excursions

Included - Choice

At one time 10,000 windmills operated in the Netherlands, pumping water away from low-lying lands (much of the country is below sea level) and creating what are known as polders—arable land reclaimed from the water. Though the mighty windmill has been replaced by newer technology, you can see how effective the system was in Kinderdijk, where a group of 19 windmills erected in the 18th century still function. Most are ground-sail windmills (meaning their sails nearly touch the ground as they whirl) and each one was carefully situated to make sure one did not block another’s wind. Each windmill moves the water a little farther, pumping it from field to canal, from canal to river. Climb the steep stairs of a mill and look out over the quiet fields that would be underwater were it not for the ingenuity of the Dutch. (Of course, you can simply admire it from the outside. But if you do that, you won’t see how the mill keeper’s family lived.) These mills are kept in working order partly as a backup in case modern technology fails, and they were used as recently as WWII, when there was no fuel to keep newer pumping stations working.

Note: If docking in Kinderdijk is not possible, the excursion will be arranged by motorcoach from Rotterdam.

Included - Choice

Set out on an invigorating bike ride through quintessential Dutch scenery. Pedal through the countryside to pass the windmills of Groot-Ammers and Streefkerk.

Included - Featured

Rewind through the centuries on a guided visit to the medieval city of Dordrecht. As a highlight of your tour today, you’ll stop at the House of van Gijn, the opulent estate of a wealthy 19th century collector. Now a museum, the House of van Gijn is filled with beautifully preserved interiors, art, and artifacts. After, you’ll be treated to a tasting at Rutte Distillery, a family-run producer of premium Dutch gin and other spirits since 1872, to learn about the ingredients and techniques that go into making Holland’s finest gins.
