Avalon Windmills,Vinyards & Paris Sept. 2010

[cnd crsr]

We are booked on the Avalon Affinity Sept. 25. Would appreciate some info re where the boat docks in Amsterdam and what time it will sail on the 26th. We want to plan time for independent sightseeing there.

 

Avalon lists 2 hotels for the time we will spend in Paris - Le Meridien Montparnasse and the Hilton Arc De Triomphe. If anyone has taken this trip, which hotel did they use? We would like to plan our time in Paris as well.

 

Thanks for any help you can give us.

Riverships in Amsterdam dock just east (most of the times) or west of Centraal Station. The passengercruiseterminal - more east - is sometimes used if no cruiseships are in town.

The night before docking the captain gets instructions where to dock.

Thanks Ine for your quick reply. We would like to take time walking from Central Station to the Dam to see the beautiful architecture etc. and if time allows take the train to Zaan Schens for part of a day. Hope we have time for both:)

Apart from the train to Zaanse Schans, there is a good Connexxion busconnection nr. 91 (every 30 minutes) that takes you from CS to Zaanse schans in about 40 minutes.

Enjoy

Thanks for the bus information for Zaanse Schans. We will look into bus versus train.
