Merry Christmas! This morning we set sail and cruise to Nijmegen which is the oldest city in the Netherlands and nestles on the banks of the Waal River. After a traditional British Christmas lunch, you are free to relax on board or join our Cruise Manager for a walk through the old town which takes you on a journey through time, starting from when the Romans first settled here.
