admire the centuries-old techniques of this imitation porcelain. We’ll then visit Rotterdam,

DAY 5 - ROTTERDAM - ANTWERP
We’ll start our day with an early morning start cruising towards Antwerp. We’ll sail past

the second largest harbour in the world after Rotterdam. In the afternoon, we’ll set out on
an optional guided visit of Antwerp and its impressive Gothic cathedral. We’ll also visit a
diamond merchant in this diamond shopper’s paradise. Over five centuries, Antwerp was
