Your Itinerary

Day One: Depart London Tilbury

Embark in London Tilbury before your ship sails at the start of this relaxed, pre-Christmas cruise.
Day Two: Amsterdam, Netherlands

Today Columbus arrives in Amsterdam. Prepare to be delighted by its step-gabled houses, canals and friendly atmosphere. The city comes alive with festive cheer at this time of year, from Museumplein's 'Christmas Square' and the ancient Jordaan district to that beside Dam Square's illuminated tree.
Day Three: Hamburg, Germany

After a morning at sea, Columbus arrives in the great German port-city of Hamburg. Head ashore to soak up the atmosphere of this famously vibrant metropolis, browse the Christmas Market in front of its Renaissance Revival town Hall, and enjoy an afternoon and early evening exploring, before Columbus sets sail at around 10pm.
Day Four: At sea

Relax on board as Columbus spends a day at sea.
Day Five: Arrive London Tilbury

Disembark at London Tilbury and make your way home, after a wonderful festive break.

Days marked above with an anchor include ports where you will be transferred to shore by landing boat. These ports may be inaccessible for customers with mobility difficulties as a result. Any days not listed will be spent at sea.
