Time to coincide with the world’s largest sailing event; this is a very special, simply unmissable German jaunt. Bolette takes you to the enchanting city of Kiel, for a chance to soak up all the excitement, charms and traditions of the Kieler Woche extravaganza. You get to revel in the magnificence of the spectacular Windjammer parade, featuring hundreds of historic tall ships, and immerse yourself in the authentic German festivity for a magical experience. Elsewhere in Germany, delight in the countryside scenery of the River Elbe en route to Hamburg, where you’ll have ample time to take in highlights such as the magnificent Rathaus, towering St Nikolai Church, the Miniatur Wunderland – home of the world’s largest train set – and the Alster Lake, best discovered on a boat tour. What’s more, for a taste of Danish history and culture, there’s also a visit to charming Copenhagen, while a host of Low Country highlights await you too. There’s a visit to Antwerp, Belgium’s beautiful second city and home to the famous diamond district and abundant Belgian chocolate shops; and to Amsterdam, to explore the iconic canals, visit the Dutch capital’s fascinating museums and much more.
