The windmills of Kinderdijk, built in the 1700s, are collectively a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 19 windmills that remain intact today are lined up along the riverfront and were used to pump rising water into the canal, keeping the village dry. Incidentally, the name of this charming village comes from the time of the St Elisabeth flood in 1421, when the villagers found a baby (kind) on the dike (dijk).
Walk past the windmills and look inside one of them for an up-close appreciation of how these simple machines harness the power of the wind to work — it is quite ingenious.
You'll have plenty of time for photos of the windmills and the countryside. Transfer to
Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport in time for your flight.
Notes:
This tour is available only to guests whose cruise ends in Rotterdam, with flights departing Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport after 3pm. If you have already purchased an airport transfer with your cruise booking, a refund for the transfer will be processed on board the ship, as this excursion automatically includes a transfer. You are responsible for handling your own luggage at the airport. Tour requires a walk of around 200 yards (200 m) from the coach drop-off area to the terminal.
