Day 2 Dec 28, 2027 Amsterdam Arrives 13:00 Few can resist the grand beauty of Amsterdam’s famous canals, which thread through this place of evocative beauty and thrilling contrast. Open-minded and tolerant, Amsterdam is a place for history buffs and hedonists alike, and its diverse neighbourhoods have something for everyone - whether it’s the beachside relaxation of Bloemendaal, nocturnal thuds of Buiksloterham, or characterful charm of Jordaan. 160 serene canals serve as the arteries of this city, imbuing it with its unique essence. Cruise along concentric waterways, past cherry red and oak-wood cladded houseboats, as you learn of its Golden Age history. Culture is also deep in Amsterdam’s DNA, and the Van Gogh Museum – which pays tribute to the tortured genius of the Dutch post-impressionist artist - stands out among its leading museums and galleries. One of history’s greatest tragedies is also rendered in heart-breaking clarity at Anne Frank House. Visit the site where the precocious teenager hid from the Nazi regime for so long, and the room where she penned the most famous diary ever written. Compact and easily walkable, Amsterdam remains consistently postcard-perfect as you watch bright bicycles trundling over ornate bridges, and stumble across hidden, tulip-decorated courtyards. ‘Gezellig’ is the local word for Amsterdam’s unhurried outlook on life. No translation can quite do the concept justice, but you’ll recognise it instinctively as hours float by in a happy haze browsing De Negen Straatjes street’s independent shops, or as you sip coffee with gooey stroopwafel. Broodje haring - a raw herring sandwich - is Amsterdam’s must-try delicacy, but many visitors find tompouce, a delicious pastry topped with vivid pink icing, a little more to their taste.

Day 4 Dec 30, 2027 Dordrecht Arrives 08:00 The Dutch city of Dordrecht is a former trading town thanks to its location on the water. This past can still be felt in the place today. Be it in the historic city center, at the port or in one of the several museums. The "Grote Kerk" and the Augustinian monastery from the 13th century are also worth seeing. The best way to discover the history of the place is to stroll through Dordrecht. Dordrecht Dordrecht port guide Search cruises visiting Dordrecht

Day 5 Dec 31, 2027 Rotterdam Arrives 10:30 Your MSC cruise will lay anchor in the largest port in the world, Rotterdam, is a no-nonsense working-class city lying at the heart of a maze of rivers and artificial waterways that together form the outlet of the rivers Rijn (Rhine) and Maas (Meuse). After devastating damage during World War II, Rotterdam has grown into a vibrant, forceful city dotted with first division cultural attractions. Your MSC cruise of Northern Europe will give you the opportunity to see that the immense land reclamation work hasn’t obliterated its earthy character though: its tough grittiness is part of its appeal, as are its boisterous bars and clubs. Amongst the most interesting attractions to enjoy during your vacation in Holland, is Rotterdam’s Kunsthal, the museum of contemporary art, and the Boijmans van Beuningen Museum, which has an outstanding art collection including representative works from almost all the most important Dutch painters: both are in the city’s designated culture zone, the Museumpark. Other interesting sites to visit on an MSC excursion are the Oude Haven, the city’s oldest harbour, ravaged during World War II but sympathetically redeveloped, and Delfs haven, an antique harbour that managed to survive the bombs pretty much intact. Rotterdam also boasts a string of first-rate festivals, including the much-lauded North Sea Jazz Festival and the colourful Summer Carnival. The postwar period saw the rapid reconstruction of the docks and, when huge container ships and oil tankers made the existing port facilities obsolete, Rotterdammers promptly built an entirely new deep-sea port, the Europoort, jutting out into the North Sea some 25 km to the west of the old town. Completed in 1968, the Europoort is able to welcome the largest ships in the world, amongst which also the MSC cruise ships. Rotterdam Rotterdam port guide Search cruises visiting Rotterdam

Day 8 Jan 3, 2028 Cologne Arrives 08:00 It’s not just the locals who consider Cologne to be among the best cities in the world. The typical friendliness that you find at every turn makes visitors feel at home right away. It’s not unusual to quickly get chatting to strangers and even go for a couple glasses of Kölsch with them. The main landmark – Cologne Cathedral – watches over the whole city. It is the third-tallest church building in the world, at 157.38 metres. It might be a bit of a trek up to the top of the tower, but it’s worth it. You’ll be rewarded with an unforgettable view of the city and the Rhine spread out before you. Cologne Cologne port guide Search cruises visiting Cologne

Ship

Your ship A-ROSA SENA 5★ **280** guests Built **2022** We’re sure 2022 is going to be a big one – our biggest yet in fact. And that’s in no small part due to the launch of our revolutionary new eco-friendly ship which we’re proud to promise will offer a completely unique experience on the waterways of Europe. For 20 years we’ve been pioneering our own relaxed, flexible and all-ages-welcome style of river cruising. With the arrival of the first of our next generation ships, A-ROSA SENA in May 2022, we’ll be turning that dial up to maximum with a ground-breaking design, host of eco-friendly credentials and standout features created to make a river cruise a genuine option for families and multi-generational groups. Quite simply, there is nothing else like A-ROSA SENA. Here’s what you’ll love: Sustainability first Completely unique on the rivers of Europe, A-ROSA SENA will feature an innovative electric and diesel hybrid engine and has been designed to switch to battery power as she enters and leaves port. This means our arrivals and departures will be emission-free, and almost silent so we can help keep the places we love cleaner and greener. With sustainability at the heart of her design, A-ROSA SENA will lead the way in lowering emissions and helping to protect the rivers and cities she sails through. A whole new level Not only the biggest ship in our fleet, A-ROSA SENA will be the first ship on the Northern Rhine with four decks of spacious public areas and cabins plus a stunning al fresco sun deck. This extra level of interior space gives us more room than ever to dedicate to the things that make an A-ROSA river cruise so unique. Alongside the biggest spa in our fleet, she’ll also feature a host of spacious cabins designed for families and multi-generational groups plus extra standouts, such as two swimming pools. Everyone’s welcome A-ROSA SENA is being custom-built for families and multi-generational groups. That means things like a dedicated kids’ club, family-friendly dining options, a children’s pool, choice of excursions designed with kids in mind and fantastic family cabins sleeping up to five. Plus, don’t forget, kids under 15 cruise completely free! A taste of your destination A-ROSA SENA will offer our widest choice of dining options yet – as well as a distinct flavour of the places you’ll visit. Inspired by the market halls of Europe, A-ROSA MARKET will be the go-to for casual buffet dining with a focus on regional specialities, locally-sourced produce and organic food. It will also feature a cafe, a bakery and a family area. If you’d rather not lift a finger, choose waiter service at THE PAVILION, or, for al fresco eats, go for RIVERSIDE where you can tuck into things like fish pans, mussels and wok dishes, cooked live in front of you. SENA GRILL is the home of prime cuts of steak and seafood, plus catch or the day and sushi bowl options. There will be a small supplement to eat here. Drinks-wise, take your pick from our relaxed and stylish SENA BAR or take your tipple against the ever-changing vistas of CAPTAIN’S VIEW. THE WINERY is the intimate home of wine tastings and the perfect place to raise a toast to a special occasion, and the head-turning UP & DOWN BAR on sun deck has been magnificently designed to disappear into deck when we sail under a low bridge. And relax… Our signature SPA-ROSA will be bigger and better than ever. Expect a Finnish sauna, jacuzzi, two treatment rooms and even an ice grotto with ice fountain. An expanded fitness room will offer up premium machines with smart tech, plus space for group sessions, including yoga. Refuel at the self-service bar or choose to snuggle up in the relaxation room with comfy loungers and a fireplace. A-ROSA SENA A-ROSA SENA ship guide Search cruises on A-ROSA SENA
