In 1680, Dordrecht played a pivotal role during the Synod of Dordrecht, where religious leaders from Protestant churches gathered.

  Day 1: Arrival in Bruges 
  Embarkation time in Bruges is between 1 and 2 pm. The ship awaits you in the Bruges harbor. You may bring your luggage on board at 11 am but the cabins will not be ready for check-in just yet. After a welcome meeting with the crew at 2 pm there is time for bicycle fitting and a short test-ride through the countryside around Bruges. After dinner the guide will take you for a short walk through the center of town.

  We advise you to come to Bruges one or more days earlier, so that you will have plenty of time to discover this UNESCO World Heritage-listed historical city, aptly named the “Pearl of Flanders”. While you are there make sure you visit one of Bruges' many museums or simply take in the stunning beauty and culture of this unforgettable city from the comfort of a sidewalk café.

  Day 2: Bruges - Ghent, 21 or 36 mi. (35 or 57 km)
  You will start your first day of cycling by pedaling towards Ghent through the beautiful Flemish landscape along the Ghent canal. On arrival in Ghent make sure you make the effort to discover the best of what this historical city has to offer during an afternoon stroll. Ghent’s medieval center features lovely illuminated streets that are a must to explore, while the architectural richness in the center of the city has to be seen to be believed. During the Middle Ages, Ghent was the 2nd largest European city, after Paris. The ship will dock for the night at a lock, in a suburb of Ghent, and approx. 30 cycling minutes from the city center. Before dinner, a small canal boat will take you for a guided tour through the historic city.

  Day 3: Ghent - Dendermonde | St. Amads, 24 or 32 mi. (40 or 53 km)
  In the morning you will spend some time in Ghent and will then cycle downstream through a diverse landscape along the tidal Schelde River to Dendermonde located at the confluence of Dender and Schelde rivers. There is only one way to describe the landscape along the Schelde and that is: “magnificent”. It is without doubt one of the natural highlights of the tour. During this section of the Schelde, the speed of the ship will be determined by the height of the tide. You will travel from Dendermonde to St. Amands by either bicycle or barge depending on the tides. Your floating hotel will be docked for the night in St. Amands.

  Day 4: St. Amands - Temse - Antwerp, 19 or 31 mi. (32 or 49 km)
  The route follows the Schelde River further downstream through the Temse region to Antwerp. Over the centuries the Schelde river has held strategic importance for the Romans, Vikings, Spanish and Napoleon... Today it is a beautiful waterway just perfect for bike and barge holidays! Antwerp, your destination for the day, is a harbor city famous for handling up to 80% of the world’s rough diamonds and as the birthplace of the famous painter Sir Peter Paul Rubens. There are many highlights in the city to discover including the City Hall, one of several majestic buildings constructed during the Renaissance period, the historical City Square Grote Market, the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwe Cathedral, and the medieval Steen Castle.

  Day 5: Antwerp - Kreekrak locks | Kreekrak locks - Tholen | Tholen - Willemstad - Dordrecht, 13 or 23 mi. (20 or 36 km)
  This morning, the ship will sail along the Schelde-Rhine Canal and over the huge Kreekrak lock system. Here your bicycle tour starts through the beautiful “Wouwse Plantage” forest to Tholen, Tholen once was an island in the middle of the large Zeeland streams, where many people fished for their living. Nowadays Tholen is connected to the mainland in various ways. But it is still a picturesque village with many relics of an eventful past. From Tholen, you will join the ship again for a nice afternoon sail to the city of Dordrecht. Halfway the ship will pass the impressive Volkerak lock system.

  Dordrecht, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands is your destination for the day. The guide will take you for an evening walk and tell you about the history of the Netherlands.

  Day 6: Dordrecht - Kinderdijk | Kinderdijk - Schoonhoven - Vianen, 19 or 36 mi. (32 or 57 km)
  Today you will start your tour with the “Waterbus”, a fast ferry that will take you and your bike in just 10 minutes to Alblasserdam. After just a few minutes of cycling, you will reach Kinderdijk, a village famous for its impressive row of 19 UNESCO cultural heritage-listed windmills – one of which you can visit (don’t forget your camera!). The windmills were constructed in the 18th century to pump water out of the low Alblasserwaard polder (a polder is a low-lying tract of land enclosed by embankments). You will then continue to cycle via Schoonhoven to Vianen, a small fortified town on the river Lek (where you will be moored for the evening and where you can explore at your leisure after dinner).

  Day 7: Vianen - Breukelen | Breukelen - Amsterdam, 23 or 28 mi.  (36 or 46 km)
  During breakfast, your barge will cruise to Breukelen where you disembark to start your final day of cycling. Ride along the Vecht River in an area famous for its beautiful mansions, small castles, impressive houses, and their large gardens. After cycling through the villages of Nieuwersluis, Loenen and Vreeland you will arrive at Nigtevecht where you can visit a traditional cheese farm. Continue cycling through the historical town of Muiden and on to Amsterdam where you will meet the barge for the final time in the Amsterdam harbor.

  Day 4: Middelburg - Zierikzee, 30 mi. (50 km)
  After riding to Veere - a historically important trading place - you will cycle over the Veersgatdam, perhaps taking a break for a beach visit, before arriving in North Beveland. From North Beveland, you will cycle past the Oosterscheldedam with its enormous locks to keep the sea at bay. Here, it is easy to see why this is one of the hardest and most expensive places to protect the land from the sea. In fact, these Deltaworks are called one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World because of the truly amazing feat in engineering. From this incredible dam, you will arrive in Zierikzee.

  Day 5: Zierikzee - Willemstad - Dordrecht, 34 mi. (55 km)
  You begin today by cycling in Schouwen-Duiveland along spectacular routes to Bruinisse. Bruinissee is an isolated community known for its mussel fishery. On the way there, you will even see a statue of an opened mussel! From Bruinisse, you will cycle to an old fortified town, Willemstad, where you will reboard your ship to sail for Dordrecht. This is one of the oldest cities in Holland at the crossroads of busy waterways, and here, you’ll have the opportunity to stroll the historical streets or visit a museum or two.

  Day 6: Dordrecht - Gorinchem - Vianen, 30 mi. (50 km)
  Enjoy a delicious breakfast as you sail to Gorinchem. Then, you will have the chance to see Woudrichem, an old fortified town containing the most famous castle in the Netherlands: Loevestein.

You can take a break in Leerdam and appreciate the glasswork before finishing your bike tour in Vianen.

  Day 7: Vianen -  Breukelen - Amsterdam, 25 mi. (40 km)
  A breakfast cruise to Breukelen will start your day. Once in Breukelen, you will be treated to cycling along the most beautiful rivers in Holland: the Vecht and Amstel.

From the countryside, you will seamlessly enter Amsterdam - named after the Amstel river - along tranquil bike paths to the city center. Once in Amsterdam, the day is yours!

  Portions in italics will be covered by ship.

  Day 1: Bruges - Aalterbrug - Ghent, (21 km)
  Embarkation begins at 1 pm. You are asked to be on board at the latest by 2 pm as your cycling itinerary begins! Boat will be moored at the Buiten Katelijnevest near the Bargeweg (1 km from the central train station). You can drop your luggage off at 12 noon.  Once you arrive onboard the ship you can put your luggage away in your cabin and then enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. It is also a good moment to become acquainted with the guide, skipper and crew, and of course your fellow passengers.

  At 2:15 pm, the barge departs, and you will cycle toward Ghent. The barge will mostly be following the canal between Bruges and Ghent to Aalterbrug, which offers a beautiful, peaceful cycle route with an unexpected variety of experiences.

  The city of Ghent is proud of its rich past but is much more than just a museum town. This lively city with its numerous squares and cozy pubs is an excellent mixture of medieval architecture, stylish shopping streets, splendid mansions, and busy little squares with outdoor cafés.

  Day 2: Ghent - Dendermonde | Dendermonde -  St. Amands, 29 mi. (47 km)
  Early Sunday morning you will cycle through the old center of Ghent. After coffee, you will leave for a nice day along one of the most beautiful rivers of Europe, the Schelde.

  After approximately 20 km, in Wetteren, you can take a break in a real Flemish ‘staminee’ and in Berlare you will have a Belgian beer with your lunch. Next, cycle through Dendermonde, the city of the legend of the Beiaart, where you can see the magnificent city hall that is still standing. From Dendermonde, you will sail to the small, quiet village of St. Amand for the night.

  Day 3: St. Amands - Antwerp, 24 mi. (40 km)
  From St. Amands, the cycle route leads you along the river and past nature reserves like the mudflats of Durme and Schausselbroek. The mudflats
  of Durme are worth mentioning because it's one of the last freshwater marshes along this tidal part of the river and therefore has a unique flora and fauna. You continue your tour through Bazel, one of the most beautiful villages in Belgium. The wooden moving stairs in the St. Anna tunnel under the Scheldt is a unique experience before entering the city center of Antwerp. Highlights of the historical center of Antwerp are worth a visit, here you'll find: the Onze-Lievevrouwenkerk and the Rubenshuis. In the Willemsdok, near the Museum for Modern Art (Museum Aan de Stroom) you will find the barge.

  Day 4: Antwerp - Kreekrak locks | Kreekrak locks - Willemstad, 34 or 40 mi. (56 or 65 km)
  This morning you’ll sail through the big harbor of Antwerp, a big difference from the nature reserves and quiet villages of yesterday. But due to the big seagoing vessels and large harbor, cranes it’s a fascinating journey that brings you to Holland where you start your bike tour at the Kreekrak locks. By bike, you will make a beautiful tour over the ‘Brabantse wal’ a sand wall dating back from the times when Mammoths roam the area. Today you won’t find any big elephants but the area seemed to be perfect for strawberry and asparagus fields. From the woodlands around Bergen op Zoom, you continue through a polder landscape to the old fortified town of Willemstad, near the Volkeraksluizen (locks) at the Haringvliet, the busiest locks of Europe.

  Day 5: Willemstad - Werkendam | Werkendam -  Gorinchem, 28 mi. (45 km)
  The barge leaves early so you can make a beautiful tour from Werkendam where you go ashore to continue your tour by bike through the land of Heusden and Altena. Along the Bergse Maas, the south border of the land of Heusden and Altena, you continue your tour along the fortified town of Heusden. From here another river, the ‘Afgedamde Maas’ leads you back to the river Waal where you started your tour this morning. Here you’ll find another beautiful fortified town, Woudrichem. A ferry brings you to the other side of the river where you’ll board the ship.

  Day 6: Utrecht - Breukelen | Breukelen - Amsterdam, 24 mi. (40 km)
  From Gorinchem you will follow the meandering river, Linge, through the Betuwe. This area is known for its orchards and therefore will be covered with blossoms in the months of April and May. Along with the city of Leerdam, famous for its glass, you continue your tour in the northern direction towards Utrecht. On your way toward Utrecht, you’ll pass the ‘Wiel van Bassa’ the biggest dike burst hole in the Netherlands, and another relic of the everlasting battle against the water. From Vianen you sail to Utrecht. After dinner, you can take a public bus to the old center of Utrecht.

  Day 7: Utrecht - Amsterdam, 24 mi. (40 km)
  During breakfast, you will sail to Breukelen from where you will cycle to Amsterdam along the two most beautiful rivers of Holland, the Vecht and the Amstel.

  Along the route, you will find the magnificent country houses and mansions from the 18th century with their splendid, well-kept gardens. After dinner, you have the option to take a canal cruise through the canals of Amsterdam.

  Day 8: Departure from Amsterdam
  The mooring place of the barge in Amsterdam is the Oosterdok (near Science Center NEMO, Oosterdok 2), located 1.2 km/.75 miles from the Central Station in Amsterdam.
  There is a direct train that leaves 6 times per hour from Amsterdam Central Station to Schiphol Airport. Travel time is about 16 minutes.
