The kosher river cruise through the Netherlands and Belgium aboard the elegant Amadeus Star riverboat, departs from and returns to Amsterdam, this cruise takes you through historic cities, scenic canals, remarkable museums, and stunning landscapes.
The kosher river cruise through the Netherlands and Belgium presents a distinctive 8-day journey, offering full-board accommodations aboard the elegant Amadeus Star riverboat. Departing and returning from Amsterdam, this cruise takes you through historic cities, scenic canals, remarkable museums, and stunning landscapes. Key highlights include a visit to Bruges, often referred to as the “Venice of the North,” and the Kröller-Müller Museum, which houses one of the world’s finest Van Gogh collections.
Sailing through the diverse waterways of the Low Countries, the Netherlands, and Belgium offers unparalleled beauty. The ship glides effortlessly along tranquil rivers, navigating canals, locks, and bridges—both fixed and those that rise to allow passage. The expansive green meadows stretch endlessly, resembling soft velvet carpets, while white swans and ducks drift serenely across the water, and windmills turn gracefully in the breeze.
This river cruise provides a relaxed and luxurious way to experience the picturesque villages, charming towns, and serene landscapes along the river, all while enjoying the comfort of a “floating hotel” that combines the perfect blend of travel and leisure.
The riverboat Amadeus Star of the company Lüftner Cruises was launched in the spring of 2019. During the cruise, you can enjoy a panoramic restaurant and bar, a café, a gym, a heated swimming pool on the upper deck, and spacious rooms. In the following link, you can find details about it and illustrative photos:

12 Aug: Tuesday Amsterdam – Boarding the River Cruise
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands and one of the world’s top tourist destinations. The city’s charming streets, fascinating contrast between old and new, and vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere make it a thriving metropolis with a distinctly Dutch character.
Check-in will be at 15:00.
Overnight stay on the riverboat.
13 Aug: Wednesday – Arnhem Open-Air Museum – Kröller-Müller Museum
In the morning, the ship will arrive in Rhenen, from where we will head to the Arnhem Open-Air Museum, beautifully located on the outskirts of the city. We will explore over 80 historic houses, farms, and windmills from across the Netherlands and learn about village and town life in the 18th and 19th centuries. We will return to the ship for lunch and then depart for the Kröller-Müller Museum, located within a unique nature reserve. The museum contains one of the world’s finest collections of works by Vincent van Gogh, along with masterpieces by modern artists such as Claude Monet, Georges Seurat, Pablo Picasso, and Piet Mondrian. The sculpture garden features works by Aristide Maillol, Jean Dubuffet, Marta Pan, and others. Its forest setting and blend of art and nature make the Kröller-Müller Museum a relaxing and inspiring destination. After our visit, we will return to the ship for dinner and continue sailing toward Ghent. Overnight stay on the riverboat.
14 Aug: Thursday – Ghent – Bruges
In the morning, we will gather for a group meeting and a lecture by our tour guide. Around noon, we will dock in Ghent, the historical capital of Flanders, located at the confluence of the Scheldt and Lys rivers. In medieval times, Ghent was one of the largest and most important cities in Europe. After lunch, we will travel to Bruges, one of Belgium’s most beautiful cities, known as the “Venice of the North”. We will stroll through picturesque streets, cross charming bridges over canals, and visit the market square, surrounded by ornately gabled guild houses. We will continue to Burg Square to see Belgium’s oldest town hall with its sculpted facade. We will walk along Minnewater (the “Lake of Love”) and explore the serene Beguinage courtyard. The cobblestone alleys are lined with inviting chocolate shops and cafés. After our tour, we will return to the ship for dinner and continue our voyage toward Middelburg. Overnight stay on the riverboat.
15 Aug: Friday – Middelburg – Delta Expo – Erev Shabbat
Early in the morning, the ship will dock in Middelburg, the capital of Zeeland province. This historic city was heavily damaged during World War II but has since been restored. Its center features a 55-meter-high bell tower that once belonged to the medieval town hall.
We will visit one of the most remarkable engineering projects in the world—the Delta project, built after the devastating 1953 North Sea flood that claimed hundreds of lives in the Netherlands. These massive flood defenses, consisting of dams, storm surge barriers, and dikes, were recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. We will tour the Delta Expo visitor center and see the impressive 3.2 km-long storm surge barrier. Upon returning to the ship, we will prepare for Shabbat. Later, we will gather in the Panorama Bar for Kabbalat Shabbat followed by a festive Shabbat dinner in the ship’s restaurant.
Overnight stay on the riverboat.

After Shabbat morning Tefilla, we will enjoy breakfast/Kiddush in the ship’s restaurant. A traditional Torah lecture will be given at a scheduled time during the day.

Overnight stay on the riverboat.
18 Aug: Monday – Amsterdam – Portuguese Synagogue – Jewish History Museum
In the morning, we will dock in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands and a top global tourist destination. The city’s historic buildings from the 17th and 18th centuries, its many bicycles, scenic canals, and lush parks all contribute to its unique charm.
Jewish history in Amsterdam dates back to the 15th century, when Jews fleeing persecution in Spain and Portugal found refuge here. Later, in the 17th and 18th centuries, Ashkenazi Jews arrived from Eastern Europe, attracted by the country’s religious tolerance.
We will visit the Portuguese Synagogue, built in 1675. This synagogue was the site of the ceremony lifting the excommunication of philosopher Uriel da Costa after he recanted his criticisms of Orthodox rabbinic authority. We will also visit the Jewish History Museum, housed within four former synagogues that were damaged during World War II. The museum offers a fascinating glimpse into the life, traditions, and artistic heritage of Amsterdam’s Jewish community. Overnight stay on the riverboat.
