The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, who runs it, and how to book it direct — so you can weigh it against your ship’s excursion and pick what suits you.
Slip away from the quay aboard a private traditional Dutch sailing vessel for an unforgettable cruise across the glittering Veerse Meer inland sea, with Veere's skyline receding behind you and Zeeland's sky-wide horizons ahead. Pure, unhurried freedom on one of Holland's most beautiful waters.
Visit the only surviving Scottish staple-port warehouses in continental Europe — a pair of 15th-century merchants' houses on Veere's quayside that tell the captivating story of the wool trade between Scotland and Zeeland. An utterly unique cultural encounter you simply cannot find anywhere else in the world.
Experience one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World — the Netherlands' awe-inspiring Eastern Scheldt Storm Surge Barrier — at the Neeltje Jans visitor centre, just 20 minutes from Veere. Walk on top of the mighty Delta Works and understand how the Dutch literally conquered the sea.
Zeeland is the undisputed oyster capital of the Netherlands, and a private tasting at a working shellfish farm in the Oosterschelde estuary is the most delicious and authentic thing you can do in this region. Pair plump, briny oysters and sweet local mussels with crisp Dutch white wine and local Zeeland bread.
Glide along Zeeland's legendary cycling paths through dune landscapes, past ancient windmills, tulip fields, and sea-dyke panoramas on a private guided e-bike tour of the Walcheren peninsula — one of the most beautiful and cyclist-friendly corners of all Europe.
