Description:

The magnificent national museum of Holland counts more than 1 million works of art in its impressive collection—beat the long lines for express access to explore them all, then round out your cultural experience with a sightseeing cruise on the enchanting canals of Amsterdam's historic center.

Take a seat on a comfortable canal barge for views of the city from one of the best vantage points in town. Sail along the charming waterways of the UNESCO-listed center for views of the city's major sights and landmarks, such as the Dutch Renaissance towers of the 17th-century Westerkerk and the canal-side façade of the Anne Frank House. As you cruise, listen to informative narrative through your personal headset.

It's easy to appreciate the beauty contained within the magnificent halls of the Rijksmuseum. The Netherlands' premier museum was established in the 19th century, and it welcomes around 3 million enthusiastic visitors each year. The opulent rooms are packed with astonishing treasures—8,000 are on display at any given time from a million-strong collection, including masterpieces from Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Vermeer.
