Located in Northwestern Europe, the Netherlands is much more than the vibrant bulb fields it's known for and what better way to uncover its secrets than on a relaxing river cruise?
Why river cruising is a great way to see The Netherlands
Old harbor towns, history and horticulture are the perfect way to fulfil your Dutch adventure. And on a river cruise, you can enjoy your trip with all the luxuries of a boutique hotel. Bond with fellow travelers, dine to excellent cuisine, relax in the spa or take a dip in the pool. We’ll meander down the Dutch waterways, stopping in medieval Bruges, stunning landscapes scattered with tulips (imported into the country during the 16th century by the Ottoman Empire) and magnificent historic windmills.
Navigating the country's many waterways is a truly authentic way to travel, as inhabitants are used to traveling by boat and living on or at the water's edge. It puts you in the heart of the country and takes you to places you probably never thought of visiting. From the vantage point of the water, you can see everything from the thriving capital, Amsterdam, to the idyllic windmills that have become symbolic of the Netherlands.
Top experiences on a river cruise in the Netherlands
Accompanied by our expert Tour Managers, discover the magnificence of this low-lying country. Cities like Rotterdam will have you gazing at architecture whereas Enkhuizen still exudes the atmosphere of the Golden Age. And a Dutch experience isn’t complete without a trip to the famous Amsterdam. Raise your glasses on an open-top canal cruiser and immerse yourself in history. Moor by narrow merchant houses and walk the cobbled streets at your leisure. See bicycles everywhere you turn, rummage through the Waterlooplein flea market or set your sights on the Van Gogh Museum and, unlike anything before, see how he used pain and passion to portray the beauties of our world. Nothing is quite as wonderful as the surprises of the Netherlandic waterways.
