Volendam and Zaanse Schans:Optional half-day excursion to the heart of the Dutch countryside, visiting the picturesque fishing village of Volendam and the living and working neighborhood of Zaanse Schans, re-created to look like an old Dutch village. Continues down the winding, cobblestone streets, past charming shops and crooked houses. Includes cheese and clog-making demonstrations as well as a visit to a windmill.

Elsinore-Kronborg Castle:Walk in the footsteps of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, on an optional half-day journey to the medieval Danish town of Elsinore. Includes a scenic drive along the coast from Copenhagen to Elsinore. Here, we’ll visit the famous 400-year-old Kronborg Castle. On the guided tour, see the castle’s maze of secret passageways, the Great Hall, ancient silk and woolen tapestries, and the king and queen’s chambers. Hear about the “sleeping ghost” of Holger Danske, famous Viking chief and Danish hero; according to legend, peace will preside in Denmark only as long as he slumbers in the castle’s dungeon! Concludes with free time in Elsinore before returning to Copenhagen.
