Overview

Experience historic maritime cities, where innovation meets the traditions of the past, and take in the authenticity of iconic windmills and the floral masterpiece of the colourful Dutch bulb fields.

The bulbfields really are an amazing sight. In Keukenhof Park, a staggering 7 million blooms cover 80 acres in a riot of colour whilst imaginative landscaping shows off mother nature at her outstanding best with shimmering lakes, water gardens and flowering shrubs of every hue during spring.

You will also explore the Ijsselmeer, the inland lagoon created by the damming of the Zuider Zee in the 1930s and discover one of the beautiful villages along its shore which have made their living from the sea for centuries. It was from here, during the 16th century Golden Age, that the Dutch roamed the world in search of the spices, silks and luxury goods Europe’s aristocracy craved. Today, little has changed. With so much of the Netherlands reclaimed from the sea, we'll learn about the importance of the iconic windmills at Kinderdijk. Add to this a visit to Amsterdam - one of Europe’s most vibrant and fascinating cities - and Rotterdam, situated where the Rhine flows into the North Sea, and wonderful few days are in store.

This river cruise is the perfect way the see the wonders of the Netherlands for travellers who love horticulture, history and old harbour towns.
