Holland America Line

Zuiderdam

As you glide past some of the city's most interesting buildings and landmarks, sit back and enjoy a snack -- a cheese platter, French bread, nuts and red or white wine -- while your guide reveals some fascinating facts about the waterways of Holland.

You will visit the famous Van Gogh Museum to see the brilliant collection by the 19th-century master. Van Gogh is as famous for lopping off his own earlobe as he is for his amazing, colorful, post-Impressionist renditions of sunflowers and potato-eaters, as well as tortured self-portraits.

During a short canal cruise, watch for the many mansions and guild buildings dating from the Golden Century, when Dutch merchants traded prolifically with the Far East.

Amsterdam is the city of canals, bridges and diamonds. It boasts a unique charm that is owed to the endless canals that criss-cross the city and the tall, skinny canal houses that huddle on the banks of these busy waterways.

Just a short distance from Amsterdam lies the village of Zaanse Schans, located on the banks of the River Zaan. Bring your camera, as the scenery packed into this tiny park-village is quite remarkable. The windmills spaced along the river are quintessentially and beautifully Dutch -- the stuff of postcards. Enjoy a close-up view of how a windmill works.

A Dutch-speaking guide leads this tour (or a guide with a Dutch interpreter). A limited number of Dutch guides and interpreters are available in this port; book early to avoid disappointment. This is not a bilingual tour; please see Waterfalls & Nature for the same tour guided in English.

Kayaking is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in nature. A fun and easy activity that offers breathtaking scenery with gentle exercise. A short walk with your instructor will bring you to a small beach where your adventure begins. After a safety briefing, board your kayak and glide into the calm waters with your paddle in hand.

Your tour starts with a drive through the spectacular and steep Måbødalen Valley. The road leads to the huge Hardanger Mountain Plateau -- actually the largest mountain plateau in Northern Europe. It is also part of Norway's largest National Park.

Drive through the village of Eidfjord before you continue up the steep Måbødalen Valley. The old road to the top was once only four miles, made up of an alarming series of hairpin bends carved precariously into the mountainside. Today there is a new route -- appreciably safer, albeit less thrilling. It leads to the enormous Hardanger Mountain Plateau -- the largest mountain plateau in Northern Europe and one of the few places in Norway where wild reindeer herds still live untended. Keep your eyes peeled; but they are elusive creatures -- brilliantly camouflaged and thus seldom seen.

A must-do for Formula One fans, this outing will acquaint you firsthand with one of the world's greatest and most challenging motor racing circuits -- that of the Monaco Grand Prix. This is easily the most famous 'street circuit' in the Formula One calendar.

From Monaco, your motor coach will take the Middle Corniche road to the medieval village of Eze, perched on a craggy peak above the Mediterranean. Often called the eagle's nest, Eze is closed to traffic, so you will walk along its steep narrow cobblestone streets to explore its hidden corners.

Discover the history and charm of Monaco during a fascinating walk through one of the world's smallest city-states. Perched above the Cote d'Azur, the Old Town boasts mesmerizing views of the Mediterranean Sea below and exudes an aura of elegance, combining Belle Epoque architecture with a stunning natural beauty.

Travel by motor coach for a scenic drive along the Middle Corniche road. You're headed to the beautiful medieval village of Eze, clinging to the rocky outcropping on the mountainside.

The tiny hamlet of Skjolden is the gateway to the ruggedly beautiful Jotunheimen National Park. Covering 1,351 square miles, the park is home to a spectacular landscape of waterfalls, rivers, glaciers and some of the highest peaks in Europe north of the Alps. A great way to see it is with this full-day comprehensive tour. Take in the jaw-dropping scenery, visit two popular attractions and enjoy lunch in this remarkable wonderland.

Leaving Skjolden behind, you'll experience a varied landscape on a panoramic drive along Sognefjord surrounded by lush green views. Then, ascend through the Jostedal Valley with its traditional agricultural scenery.

Set your sights on the panoramic vistas surrounding Skjolden. This three-hour excursion is designed for those who prefer very little walking but want lots of photo opportunities, awe-inspiring scenery, and cool, crisp air.

Experience an exhilarating RIB (rigid inflatable boat) ride through magnificent Lustrafjord. A ten-minute walk brings you to Skjolden's small-boat pier. Meet your guide here and listen to a safety briefing; then, gear up in a survival suit before taking to the water.

Set out from the pier on foot for a walk to the very end of Sognefjord and through the center of Skjolden. This village lies in the very heart of Norway, at the foot of the tallest mountains of Northern Europe -- the Jotunheimen Range.

In 2004, National Geographic Traveler Magazine rated the Norwegian fjords as the 'world's best travel destination', so it it comes as no surprise thatcLustrafjord has a place on many a bucket list. Today, you have a chance to cross it off yours.

A scenic drive takes you over Sognefjell Mountain Pass -- the highest mountain road in Norway at 4,700 feet above sea level. The scenery offers stunning views of the Hurrungane mountain range area, where 27 of the highest peaks in Norway can be found. This is an ancient thoroughfare linking east and west. You'll see old varder -- small stone pyramids or cairns which were used to mark a safe route for those traveling this inhospitable territory on foot or on horseback. The mountain road was first opened to cars in 1938 after approximately 200 unemployed youths worked on it for two summers with simple tools and in harsh weather conditions. The road is closed in winter.

Stavanger, center of the oil industry, is the fourth-largest town in Norway. Situated at the entrance to the Gandsfjord, it is somewhat protected from the North Sea. Stavanger is a charming mix of new and old. Close to the harbor, you'll see the wooden, white-painted houses with tiny gardens. These once belonged to sailors and craftsmen. Your helicopter adventure begins with a drive from the pier to the helipad. After takeoff, you'll head eastward towards Lysefjord, which incises an impressive 30 miles into a mountainous massif. It is considered the wildest, least-accessible fjord in the region, surrounded by cliffs rising steeply from the water and worn down by eons of ice erosion. In a few places along the fjord, there is enough space for small, isolated farms to cling to the cliff-sides.

Your hike to Pulpit Rock takes 1½ to 2 hours each way and passes through a variety of different landscapes, including mountains, forest and marshland with some lovely ponds along the way. The distance to the top is about 2½ miles and climbs 1,100 feet in elevation. The last 600 yards are quite spectacular as you walk along a narrow path with steep cliffs on one side and Lysefjord far below on the other.

Cruise through the Stavanger Archipelago for an overview of how the Norwegians live in this area, with plenty of small idyllic islands and many holiday homes by the sea. A guide will accompany you and point out various attractions along the way.

Stavanger -- Norway's fourth-largest city -- is a charming blend of old and new. Towards the end of the 18th century, Stavanger became a leading commercial and industrial town. The herring fisheries and canneries flourished, as did the shipbuilding industry. Today, the oil industry activities play a leading role in industry and social development both in the town itself and in the surrounding areas.

See the Swords in Rock Monument. It is comprised of three Viking swords forced into the ground, stands more than 30 feet tall, and commemorates the place where Viking King Harald Haarfagre (Fairhair) defeated the last of the regional princes in AD 872 and founded the Kingdom of Norway by uniting the 29 small kingdoms under one crown.

Travel via underwater tunnel to Moster Island -- a bucolic haven of green fields and grazing cows and sheep. Located on Moster Island, Utstein Kloster (monastery) was founded in the 13th century. Take a guided tour of the graceful cloisters and enjoy a music recital in the monastery. Centuries-old beech trees shade the monastery's beautiful grounds. Return to Stavanger, where you have the option of heading directly to the ship by motorcoach or staying in town with your guide to explore the old port's narrow, cobblestone lanes on foot. You will view 18th- and early 19th-century wooden houses along the way.

Your fun, expert-foodie guide takes you on a lovely walk through the heart and soul of Old Stavanger in search of the real flavors of the city. Food samples include canned brisling and smoked salmon at the Breidablikk Museum, fenalår (salted, dried and cured leg of lamb) and herring, coffee, and traditional soft lefse flatbread at the Maritime Museum.

On your way to Ringve Museum today, you will pass through Trondheim's streets and stop at the Nidaros Cathedral for a visit inside. A splendid Gothic structure dating back to the 12th century, this impressive church is built over the grave of St Olaf and boasts gorgeous stained-glass windows.

A panoramic drive takes you through the city center before you head out of town towards Sverresli. Enjoy views of the fjord and wood-clad hills before reaching Bymarka. This is an area of natural landscapes with contrasting scenery -- a haven for the people of Trondheim in both winter and summer.

Head upriver to Fannrem, where you will board the narrow-gauge Thamshavn Railway, originally built to transport ore from the mine to the harbor. It re-opened as a museum railway in 1983, but you'll ride in a carriage that dates back to 1908. This railway line is the only one in Scandinavia with a gauge of 1,000 mm (one meter) and few lines have sharper curves or steeper climbs.

Transfer by bus to the city center, where you'll step aboard the Gråkall line streetcar. This five-mile line opened in 1924. It runs from the city center to Lian, located on Trondheim's lush west side, and the Bymarka, where residents enjoy outdoor activities in both summer and winter.

Your excursion starts from the pier in Eidfjord -- a charming village at the head of the fjord built on sand and gravel moraines from the last major Ice Age, some 8,000 years ago. Your coach follows the road along the River Eid, well known for excellent trout and salmon fishing.

Starting off from the pier in Eidfjord, a scenic drive will take you along the fjord with a short stop at the viewpoint in Bu for photos. On your way to the village of Ulvik, you will drive over the new Hardanger Bridge -- the longest suspension bridge in Norway and one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Ulvik is a small community with around 650 inhabitants, famous for its cultivation of various fruits, including apples and is the second most important fruit-growing municipality in Norway.

The village of Eidfjord has only about 1,000 inhabitants; however, due to its production of hydroelectric power, it is one of Norway's wealthiest communities.

Departing Exmouth by coach, your first stop will be at the communication towers at the Harold Holt Naval Base. Here, you’ll also see a replica of the one-man submarine used during World War II. Continue to the lighthouse, complete with an air raid warning tower, for magnificent views over the ocean and Exmouth. Next, visit the Jurabi Turtle Centre to learn about these age-old creatures and hopefully you’ll see them on the beach. After a quick stop at Bundegi Beach to snap some photos, return to Exmouth township where your guide will provide a commentary about the history of the town and the points of interest you pass on a brief panoramic drive. Proceed to Charles Knife Gorge where you will see a beautiful limestone plateau, compressed sand and the remnants of a shallow sea.

Cape Range National Park, on the west coast of Australia's North West Cape, includes a number of gorges and limestone ridges. The most spectacular of these is Yardie Creek Gorge -- your destination today.

Ningaloo Reef is known as one of the world's most desirable snorkel destinations. Step aboard a boat for dazzling views into the depths of a limpid sea as you cruise the crystal-clear waters of Ningaloo.

Drive out to Tantabiddi Boat Ramp and collect some snorkel gear for the day. Board a boat here for a ride out to the first snorkel site. Enjoy the warm waters of the Indian Ocean as you swim among the local sea life.
