Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a festive Christmas cruise through the Netherlands and Germany. The journey begins on a decorated ship departing from London, where the travelers explore their inside cabins before arriving in Amsterdam. Upon reaching the Netherlands, the group travels outside the main city to visit a picturesque landscape featuring traditional houses and working windmills.
