Itinerary
Day 1
Day 1
Hamburg
Depart 18:00
Hamburg — once the 'Gateway to the World' and still Germany's greatest port — combines Hanseatic grandeur with an unmatched contemporary creative energy. The Speicherstadt, a vast nineteenth-century brick warehouse district now housing design studios, museums, and the Elbphilharmonie concert hall perched dramatically above the Elbe, exemplifies the city's gift for transforming history into living culture. The Reeperbahn's legendary nightlife, the Alster lake's elegant promenades, and an exceptional restaurant scene anchored by the finest fresh fish from the daily harbour market complete an irresistible portrait. Hamburg rewards visits year-round, though May through September offers the longest, most luminous days.

Day 3
Cowes
Arrive 11:00Depart 19:00
Cowes is the spiritual home of world yachting on the Isle of Wight's northern tip, where the Royal Yacht Squadron has presided over the Solent since 1815 and Cowes Week draws the sailing world each August. Must-dos include watching the regatta action from the waterfront, visiting Queen Victoria's Osborne House, and sampling Solent oysters and Isle of Wight garlic. The sailing season runs April through October, with August's Cowes Week the spectacular peak.
Day 4
Day 4
Guernsey
Arrive 08:00Depart 18:00
Guernsey is a British Crown Dependency in the English Channel, where Norman French heritage, dramatic coastal cliffs, and Victor Hugo's literary legacy create a uniquely charming island experience. Must-dos include visiting Hugo's eccentric Hauteville House, tasting local crab and ormer shellfish, and exploring the German Occupation tunnels. May through September offers the mildest weather and longest days for clifftop walking and beach exploration.
Day 5
Day 5
Honfleur
Arrive 08:00
Honfleur, a historic port in Normandy, is known for its stunning waterfront and vibrant artistic heritage, having been a launching point for significant voyages like Samuel de Champlain's to Quebec. Don’t miss the chance to savor local specialties such as moules marinières and tarte normande while exploring the charming cobbled streets. The best time to visit is during the spring and summer months when the town bursts into bloom and outdoor dining thrives.
Day 7
Day 7
Antwerp
Arrive 08:00Depart 17:00
Antwerp has been one of Europe's great mercantile capitals since the fifteenth century, when it commanded the world's first commodity exchange and Peter Paul Rubens made it the artistic capital of the Baroque world — a legacy preserved in the magnificent Rubenshuis studio and the soaring Cathedral of Our Lady, whose nave houses four of the master's greatest altarpieces. Today the city leads global fashion from the acclaimed Antwerp Six design school and remains the diamond capital of the world, with 84% of the world's rough diamonds trading through its storied district. Visit in spring or autumn; Brussels and Bruges are each under an hour away by train.
Day 8
Day 8
Amsterdam
Arrive 09:30Depart 19:00
Amsterdam's UNESCO-listed canal ring — a concentric web of seventeenth-century merchant houses and arching stone bridges — remains one of the Western world's most perfectly preserved Golden Age cityscapes, best explored by bicycle or canal boat at a pace that lets the city's genius reveal itself slowly. The Rijksmuseum's collection of Rembrandt and Vermeer masterpieces is essential, while the Anne Frank House offers one of Europe's most profoundly moving historical encounters. Spring brings the iconic tulip season; summer fills the terraces of the Jordaan district. Schiphol Airport makes Amsterdam a seamless gateway to the entire European continent.
Day 9
Day 9
Heligoland
Arrive 13:00Depart 18:00
Heligoland, Germany's dramatic red sandstone island 70 kilometres offshore in the North Sea, combines duty-free shopping, the iconic Lange Anna sea stack, and extraordinary wildlife — from grey seal pups on the Düne beaches to some of Europe's most spectacular bird migration watching. Must-dos include cliff walks along the Oberland, cracking Knieper crab claws at a waterfront restaurant, and visiting the world's oldest bird observatory. Spring migration and the winter seal season are the wildlife highlights.
