Where this voyage takes you
Day-by-day itinerary
- Day1
Southampton
Depart 17:00

Rotterdam
Arrive 10:30 · Depart 20:30
The Netherlands' great port city, rebuilt after wartime destruction into a showcase of bold modern architecture. The Erasmus Bridge spans the Maas, the cube houses tilt over the Oude Haven, and the covered Markthal anchors a skyline unlike anywhere else in the country.
