Shore Excursions SHORE EXCURSIONS Guest: Ms Celia Ruth Engler Booking Number: 5318602 Basel to Amsterdam Viking Sigrun May 01, 2019 Enrich Your Journey We believe the best journeys enrich and enlighten you, so we’ve developed great optional excursions that show you local culture-from architectural treasures to artistic masterpieces, natural wonders to historic marvels, and long-cherished traditions to culinary delights. What Sets Viking Excursions Apart Our excursions are carefully designed by experienced, licensed and insured tour planners to provide the perfect overview of must-see cultural and historic highlights, with some delightful surprises. Professional, English-speaking guides give you an insider’s view of their country and culture, bringing you closer to the art, architecture, history and people that define your destination. In many ports, we’ve timed our shore excursions for maximum immersion, letting you join up to three in one day if the schedule permits. Reserve Online at MyVikingJourney.com Your invoice will tell you when your shore excursions are open for booking. Once they are available, log in to your account at MyVikingJourney.com and reserve them online for priority processing; there’s no phone call to make. Though you can book your shore excursions up until 7 days before your sail date, we recommend reserving as soon as possible . You can do so with peace of mind as our website securely accepts credit card payments. After we process your payment, we will send your confirmation by email. If you prefer, you may call your Travel Agent to reserve your shore excursions. About Your Excursions Your cruise features one included excursion in each port of call; some are walking tours and others are via motor coach or a combination of walking and coach. Our excursion motor coaches are often just a few years old, are usually air conditioned and typically include restrooms. Drives rarely take more than two hours; nearly all have frequent sightseeing stops. Sundays & Holidays In many countries, shops, public buildings and banks are closed Sundays and public holidays; also, businesses in smaller towns may close for several hours midday. In these cases, a particular excursion or portion of visit may not be available, and your itinerary will vary. If you’re exploring on your own on these days, your Program Director or Viking Concierge can suggest alternatives. Optional Excursions To further enhance your experience, we sometimes offer optional excursions should you want to visit an additional site or maximize your time in port. Details on these follow. Note that the order of visits may vary.

  • The Netherlands Lapbook Information Sheet the Flag the Flag of The
    The Netherlands Lapbook Information Sheet The Flag The flag of The Kingdom of the Netherlands - divided into 12 provinces, of which two are North Holland and South Holland - is made up of three rectangles in red, white and blue. At one time this tricolour flag was orange, white and blue, as those were the livery colours of William of Orange, a Dutch prince. In the 17th century, red replaced the orange as a flag colour, because the orange dye used on the flag was unstable, and turned red after exposure to the sun. The Location As mentioned above, "Holland" is generally referred to when "The Netherlands" is meant. There are 12 provinces - Zeeland, Noord-Brabant, Utrecht, Flevoland, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, Overijssel, Gelderland and Limburg and North and South Holland. The Netherlands are in Northern Europe, and to make things a smidgen more complicated, they are included with Belgium and Luxembourg as Low Countries, or Benelux Countries. Famous Dutch People I'm sure there are dozens more very famous Dutch people if you start looking, but we were looking for ones that would interest the girls, so we looked (very) briefly at Mata Hari, Corrie ten Boom, Rembrandt van Rijn and Vincent van Gogh and in a bit more detail at Anne Frank (Lapbook for Anne Frank to follow!) Dutch Icons There are a few things The Netherlands are famous for: - Canals. This country is mostly meant to be under water, so the sheer amount of the place that's been reclaimed from the sea is astounding. The canals played an important part in Dutch commerce and development, and many still do.

  • Die Zweite Heimat Over De Televisiebeleving Van Duitsers in Nederland
    Die zweite Heimat Over de televisiebeleving van Duitsers in Nederland Doctoraal Scriptie Judith Fraune 0111996 Universiteit Utrecht, Faculteit der Letteren Theater-, Film- en Televisiewetenschap Mei 2007 Begeleiders: drs. Vincent Crone dr. Eggo Müller i De titel "Die zweite Heimat" verwijst naar het tweede deel van Edgar Reitz' televisie-trilogie "Heimat" uit het jaar 1981. De trilogie is een kroniek van de Duitse geschiedenis van 1919 tot 2000, verteld vanuit het perspectief van de inwoners van een klein dorp in de Hunsrück. ii Samenvatting Voor veel individuen voelt de televisie zo vertrouwd en onmiddellijk als geen ander medium. De televisie neemt een belangrijke plaats in binnen de dagelijkse huiselijke routine. Het onderzoek "Die zweite Heimat" gaat over de manier waarop in Nederland wonende hoogopgeleide Duitsers het televisie kijken beleven. Met behulp van diepte-interviews biedt dit onderzoek groter inzicht welke rol het televisiekijken voor het leven van Duitse immigranten in Nederland speelt. Hoogopgeleide Duitse immigranten zijn om verschillende redenen een interessante groep voor receptieonderzoek. Ten eerste lijken Nederland en Duitsland op het eerste gezicht nauwelijks van elkaar te verschillen. Het blijkt echter dat de immigranten een aantal verschillen tussen de twee landen ervaren die voor hun beleving van zowel de Duitse als de Nederlandse cultuur van groot belang zijn. Ten tweede staan hoogopgeleide, in Nederland wonende Duitse immigranten synoniem voor de nieuwe stroom van immigranten. Hiermee worden westerse expats bedoeld die voor een bepaalde tijd werkgerelateerd emigreren en in een aantal opzichten verschillen van de 'gastarbeiders' die in de tweede helft van de vorige eeuw naar West-Europa zijn geëmigreerd. Menig mediacriticus stelt dat men een gevoel van verbondenheid tot zijn natie pas kan beleven door onder andere naar de nationale televisie van het land te kijken.
