Optional Pre-Cruise Extension Program
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Tuesday, June 17 – Thursday, June 19, 2025

Start your trip with a three-day adventure at the iconic Conservatorium Hotel Amsterdam, the iconic former Music Conservatory of Amsterdam turned luxury hotel. Explore amazing Amsterdam and discover incredible cuisine, the artistry of Dutch classical musicians, and the iconic art of the Dutch Masters.

  • Day 1: Amsterdam
    After clearing customs, you’ll be greeted by a Transcend Cruises representative and transferred to the Conservatorium Hotel. There, you will check in, and, if you wish, go out and explore the city on your own. Your Transcend Cruises local host can offer suggestions. Join us this evening at the hotel for a festive welcome reception hosted by Jacqueline Lorber and Maestra Sebrina Alfonso.

  • Day 2
    Amsterdam is called the Venice of the North for a reason: canals crisscross the heart of the old city, and bridges link approximately
    90 islands. The city’s fathers demolished most of the old city and built it new, creating Europe’s first planned city. That “new” district is now 400 years old, and as you glide along the main canals, you’ll pass stately merchants’ houses built centuries ago. A canal cruise also gives you a look at the busy modern city. Later this evening, join us for an incredible reception, dinner, and signature performance.

  • Day 3: Amsterdam
    Start your morning with a tour of the Rijksmuseum, where an expert art historian guide will help you navigate the most renowned collection of Dutch and Flemish art and artifacts in the world. After your guided tour, you’ll have time on your own for an independent exploration before joining your fellow travelers for an incredible lunch at RIJKS. This Michelin-star venue has curated an incredible menu for you, and Chef Joris Bijdendijk will join the group for a toast and send-off.

Prague, Czech Republic
Thursday, June 26 – Saturday, June 28, 2025

Visiting the “City of Spires” is the perfect way to end your enchanting cruise while staying at the NH Hotel Carlo IV Prague. The grand neo-Renaissance façade, swathed in heraldic symbols and architectural allegories, looks like a venerable royal palace. Enjoy cocktails in The Vault Bar. Prague has been a center of arts, commerce, and politics for a thousand years, and it offers a stunning array of medieval, baroque, and art nouveau architecture.

  • Day 1: Prague
    Upon disembarking The Gentleman, you’ll transfer to Prague. Upon arrival at the hotel, you’ll be greeted by a Transcend Cruises representative who will assist you with check-in. This evening, you can choose to rest up at the hotel or go out and explore the city. Your local host will be happy to offer suggestions.

  • Day 2: Prague
    Prague Castle dates back to the 9th century. A drive across the Vltava River brings you to the sprawling complex of towers, halls, cathedrals, courtyards, and houses, where kings, emperors, and presidents have had their offices for almost a millennium. Step down from the motorcoach and walk inside, taking in the Gothic structure of St. Vitus Cathedral, and Vladislav Hall, whose intricate stone-vaulting system was one of the most advanced engineering feats of the late Middle Ages.

    Afterwards, you can choose between re-boarding the motorcoach for a ride back to the hotel or continuing your guided walk through the picturesque Lesser Quarter to Charles Bridge. The walking tour will end in Old Town Square, surrounded by majestic buildings, including the Church of Our Lady before Týn and Prague’s City Hall, which boasts a famous medieval astronomical clock.

  • Day 3: Prague
    After breakfast at the hotel, your extraordinary journey will end. You’ll be transferred to Václav Havel Airport Prague (PRG) for your flight home. Though your journey is over, we know the memories will last for years.
