Imagine the Perfect Time of Year

When the weather is warming, the sun wants to shine, and the flowers are in full bloom. Spring is one of the most popular times to visit the Netherlands. This year is no exception.

See Rivers, Canals, and Waterways

Water is an important resource for the Dutch. Almost 30% of the country is under sea level. With over 6000 km of waterways throughout the Netherlands, a cruise is the way to experience the country. You’ll cover a lot of ground and only have to unpack once.

A special bonus: due to the special nature of your ship, this cruise gets to Noord-Holland to cruise past the iconic flower fields. Many
large riverboats can’t make it through the locks to this province.
This is something to write home about.

A tour host to help with group comradery.
