Day One

It's a fun-filled atmosphere all the way as 'Ocean Countess' sets sail from Tilbury on a festive voyage. Make the most of all the onboard amenities enjoying dinner and entertainment until late into the night.

Day Two

'Ocean Countess' arrives in Bremerhaven, gateway to the historic, Hanseatic city of Bremen, home to magnificent St Peter's Cathedral and exquisite, UNESCO-listed Market Square, on which the city's famous Christmas Market is laid out. Take the shore excursion into the city, and spend time soaking up the atmosphere. Don't miss the narrow, cobbled streets of the Schnoor, the city's oldest.

Day Three

This afternoon 'Ocean Countess' ties up in the great Dutch city of Amsterdam, with its canals lined with step-gabled buildings lit up for the festive season, and Museumplein's 'Christmas Square' complete with ice-rink, Dam Square's illuminated tree and the the ancient Jordaan district a picture-postcard winter-wonderland. Several markets dot the city, and of course the other attractions - the famous Rijksmuseum included, with its 'Old Masters' - are open.

Day Four

The last of our trio of festive cities is Belgium's great port of Antwerp, the 'diamond city', which truly sparkles at Christmas time. Several world-class museums - one the former home of Rubens himself -house works by Flemish Masters, a fine Gothic cathedral and the Christmas markets all add to the wonderful atmosphere.

Day Five

'Ocean Countess' arrives back in Tilbury.
