The municipality covers the entire Dordrecht Island and is surrounded by the Oude Maas, Benenden Merwede, Nieuwe Merwede, Hollands Diep, and Dordtsche Kil rivers. As the oldest city in Holland, Dordrecht is rich in history and culture. Visit the impressive Grote Kerk, Augustijnenkerk, St Nicolaas Kerk, and Munt van Holland. Molen Kyck over den Dych - the last remaining windmill on Dordrecht, Het Hof van Nederland Museum, Huis Van Gijn, and the fine artworks at Schilderjenmuseum are well-worth seeing too. Biesbosch National Park is the go-to place for walking trails and boating in the wetland nature park.

Veere is a charming historical village built on the shore of the Western Schedlt in the Netherlands. This once fishing village boasts a plethora of local attractions to explore; see the eye-catching Gothic Stadhuis with its 48-bell carillon on the Markt and the 15th-century Scottish Houses facing the marina - both of which make up Museum Veere. The impressive Grote Kerk Veere is another must-see, before strolling along the waterfront to admire the Campveerse Toren on Veerse Meer Lake. The nearby nine-kilometre-long Oosterscheldekering - Eastern Schedlt Storm Surge Barrier - with its 13 Delta Works dams and storm surge barriers is a sight to behold. Travel to see the 15th-century Fort Rammekens, the oldest sea fort in Western Europe, which once played an important role in Zeeland's maritime history.

Pay a visit to the 17th-century Rubenshuis to view artworks by the Flemish Baroque painter, Peter Paul Roberts. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed Museum Plantin-Moretus, the impressive MAS complex, and the Gothic-style Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal are well worth visiting too.

Background
Scenic Crystal
Overview

Scenic Crystal, Jade & Jewel were the sixth, seventh, and eighth ships to join our fleet of luxury Space-Ships respectively. All three river cruise ships feature our signature Scenic Sun Lounges, as well as newly designed cabins and suites.

With four sumptuous decks boasting a selection of private suites and public lounge and dining venues, every aspect of Scenic Crystal, Jade & Jewel has been carefully considered to be easily navigable and wonderfully luxurious.

Measuring 135 metres in length, these sister Space-Ships are perfectly proportioned for navigating the preeminent waterways of Europe, and all without forfeiting your comfort, space and enjoyment.

Each generously appointed vessel features just 85 cabins, giving them a maximum guest capacity of 169. This affords our guests a real appreciation of space and freedom, as well as complete intimacy and comfort. Couple this with a 1:3 crew-to-guest ratio, and you can look forward to the very best service from the moment you set foot aboard Scenic Crystal, Jade & Jewel.

As you’d expect from three valued members of the luxury Scenic Space-Ship fleet, comfort, refinement and luxury are second to none aboard Scenic Crystal, Jade & Jewel. The sister ships offer a number of different suite classes spanning three decks, so you have plenty of choice and flexibility depending on your individual travel preferences.

Entertainment

Scenic strictly limit their guest and cabin numbers. Not out of pretension or pride, but because in their experience, they know their guests appreciate a real sense of space. In fact, the wonderful scenery gliding by is often the only reminder you have that you’re actually on a ship.
