First stop is Marken, a quaint fishing village where the traditional Dutch way of life can still be seen on the streets. Your knowledgeable guide will walk you through this hole in time and let you in on the history of this town. You will even enjoy a visit to a traditional wooden shoemaker and see the craftsman busy practicing their skills in the art of elaborating the famous wooden clogs.



From Marken you board the comfortable Marken Express and cruise along to Volendam.

Your adventure continues to a little town famously associated for centuries with cheese - Edam. Try the renowned cheese at a special tasting before exploring the town, once a former shipyard and home to one of Holland’s largest churches, the Grote Kerk. As you stroll down the cobblestoned streets, admire the picturesque houses and bridges that crisscross the canals of Edam. This will be a day of memories to keep forever.
