Springtime in Holland including Keukenhof Gardens River Cruise
Highlights: Bruges - Antwerp - Keukenhof Gardens - Amsterdam - Zaanse Schaans - The Hague
11 April 2026 – 7-day tour
Springtime in Holland heralds the advent of the beautiful bulbfields season, creating a vibrant blanket of colours and sweet aromas of gigantic proportions. This seven-day holiday combines visits to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens - the most spectacular array of gardens and floral displays in the world - and the cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam, with great on board hospitality and service.
Keukenhof, often called the Garden of Europe, is world-famous for its breathtaking displays of flowering bulbs, especially tulips. Each spring, millions of bulbs—tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and crocuses—are carefully planted in elaborate patterns and vibrant colour combinations, transforming the park into a living mosaic. The bulbs are selected for their variety, bloom time, and striking colours to create continuous waves of flowers throughout the season. Beyond their visual appeal, these bulbs highlight the Netherlands’ rich horticultural heritage, showcasing centuries of expertise in bulb cultivation and floral design. Visiting Keukenhof is not just a feast for the eyes—it’s a celebration of the artistry and science behind the humble flower bulb.
Amsterdam, the vibrant capital of the Netherlands, is a city where history and modernity flow together as smoothly as its iconic canals. Known for its picturesque waterways, narrow gabled houses, and bustling cycling culture, the city offers a mix of cultural treasures and lively urban energy. Museums like the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum showcase world-class art, while the Anne Frank House provides a poignant glimpse into history. Beyond the sights, Amsterdam pulses with cozy cafés, eclectic markets, and a thriving nightlife, making it a city that’s both charmingly historic and delightfully contemporary—a place where every corner invites exploration.
