Amsterdam Cruise & Stay

nhow Amsterdam RAI is one of Amsterdam’s most distinctive hotels, designed as a stack of striking, rotated triangular sections that makes it a real skyline landmark. Inside, it leans into that design-led feel with bold interiors, lots of colour, and floor-to-ceiling windows that give you brilliant city views. Guests regularly praise the overall style, the comfort of the rooms, and the friendly, helpful service, which all adds up to a stay that feels a bit special rather than just “somewhere to sleep”.

Destinations

  • Amsterdam — Amsterdam is one of those cities people fall in love with quickly - scenic canals, elegant narrow houses, and neighbourhoods that are made for wandering. A lovely way to start is simply exploring the canal belt and drifting through areas like the Jordaan and the Nine Streets, where you’ll find boutique shops, cosy cafés and that classic Amsterdam atmosphere. A canal cruise is also a favourite because it lets you see the city from its best angle without feeling rushed. If you want the famous highlights, Museumplein is the big one for culture, with the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum right there. The Anne Frank House is another key visit for many people - it’s really moving, but it does tend to sell out, so it’s worth knowing tickets are only sold through the official site. For classic city-centre sights, Dam Square is a good focal point, and if you fancy something more food-and-street-life focused, places like Albert Cuyp Market are great for an easy wander and something tasty.

  • A visit to Amsterdam on the return route, famed for its canals and gabled merchant houses

Destinations

  • Ghent — Ghent combines the grandeur of an old trading city with the easy atmosphere of somewhere that is still very much lived in. Historic façades line the Graslei and Korenlei quays, reflected in the River Lys, while church towers and the Belfry rise above the rooftops. Start by the water, where the old guild houses tell the story of centuries of trade. From nearby St Michael's Bridge, the views pull together some of the city's most memorable architecture — the sort of scene that makes you stop for one more photograph.
  • Arras — A visit to Arras, with elegant Flemish-style squares and a magnificent belfry
  • Lille — Lille's grand buildings and lively café culture make a lovely contrast. Begin around the Grand'Place, where the richly decorated Vieille Bourse reflects the city's long history as a prosperous trading centre. Beyond it, the cobbled streets of Vieux-Lille invite a slower pace. Browse independent shops, admire the brick-and-stone façades and find somewhere tempting for lunch or a sweet treat.

Croatia at The Island Istra Hotel
  • Coach holidays
  • 10 days · 9 nights

Croatia at The Island Istra Hotel

This is more than a coastal tour. It is five nights on a traffic-free island, boat rides across clear blue water, Roman history, beautifully preserved old towns and a national park scattered across the sea. With the four-star Island Hotel Istra as your base, each day brings a different side of the Istrian peninsula—and there is still time to slow down, find a quiet cove and enjoy the view.

  • Free time to explore Rovinj using the hotel’s regular boat service
  • Scenic touring along Croatia’s Adriatic coast

Destinations

  • Island Hotel Istra, Croatia — The four-star Island Hotel Istra occupies an exceptional position on St Andrew Island, a short hotel boat ride from Rovinj. With sea on every side and no road traffic, it offers the sort of setting that immediately changes the pace of a holiday.
  • St Andrew Island, Croatia — Known locally as Sveti Andrija or Crveni Otok, St Andrew Island is part of the Rovinj archipelago. Its wooded shoreline, rocky coves and clear water create a peaceful backdrop that feels far removed from everyday life.
  • Rovinj, Croatia — Rovinj grew from a fishing town into one of the Mediterranean’s most photogenic coastal destinations. Its old town rises from a compact peninsula, with warm-coloured houses packed around narrow lanes that climb towards the Church of St Euphemia.
  • Brijuni National Park, Croatia — Brijuni is an archipelago of 14 islands and islets off Istria’s western coast. Here, open meadows, woodland and beautifully arranged parkland sit alongside archaeological remains and reminders of the islands’ remarkable past.
  • Pula, Croatia — Pula carries its Roman history in the fabric of the modern city. Ancient gateways, temples and fragments appear between lively streets, but nothing prepares you for the scale of its great amphitheatre.
  • Poreč, Croatia — Poreč combines an attractive waterfront with a historic centre shaped by more than two thousand years of life. Its street plan still follows the lines of the Roman town, leading visitors between stone houses, small squares and glimpses of the Adriatic.
  • Lim Fjord, Croatia — North of Rovinj, the sea reaches deep into the Istrian landscape through a long, sheltered channel bordered by steep, forested slopes. Although widely called a fjord, Lim is a flooded river valley—a striking natural corridor where the water is calm and the scenery feels enclosed.

Destinations

  • Dresden — Dresden's domes, towers and richly ornamented façades create one of Europe's most memorable riverside skylines. Its historic centre tells a remarkable story of destruction, restoration and a city reclaiming its beauty. Your included guided walking tour introduces the city and its history. The great dome of the Frauenkirche, the grand architecture around the old town and the sweeping presence of the Elbe give Dresden a character all its own.
  • Meissen Porcelain Factory — Entrance to Meissen Porcelain Factory, including a demonstration of its celebrated craftsmanship
  • Pillnitz Castle and Gardens — Entrance to Pillnitz Castle and Gardens
  • Kraków — Kraków draws you in with its great market square, elegant historic buildings and streets that invite another turn. The Cloth Hall and the unmistakable towers of St Mary's Basilica give the old town its distinctive silhouette. An included guided sightseeing tour helps you make sense of the city's layers of history. With four nights at Hotel Wyspiański, Kraków becomes a proper chapter of the holiday, not simply a stop between journeys.
  • Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum — Entrance to Oskar Schindler’s Factory Museum, exploring Kraków’s wartime history
  • Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial — A guided visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial, a place of remembrance and reflection
  • Wieliczka Salt Mine — A guided tour of Wieliczka Salt Mine, with its extraordinary underground chambers and salt-carved features
  • Prague — Prague has a skyline that seems made for lingering over: Gothic towers, red rooftops and bridges crossing the Vltava. Around the Old Town Square, grand buildings and intricate details make even a simple stroll feel full of discovery. Your included guided walking tour introduces the city's streets and stories. Then there is the pleasure of staying in the heart of it all, with three nights at the five-star Art Nouveau Palace Hotel.
