Saga Sapphire moors overnight in Amsterdam, offering plenty of time to also discover the beautiful canals, museums and galleries or try local specialities such as warming poffertjes – fluffy pancakes served with sugar and butter.
The mini-cruise also includes a call to Belgium and the beautiful city of Bruges, where beer lovers can wander along the cobbled streets to find bars selling a host of tasty Belgian beers, while chocoholics can seek out the finest chocolate shops and perhaps treat themselves to a warming hot chocolate.
