Tulip Time Cruise with Avalon, 8 days from $6,610pp
Celebrate spring in the Low Countries on this river cruise from Amsterdam. Visit Keukenhof, the “Garden of Europe”, where around seven million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths bloom across 32 hectares of parkland and lakes. Sail through Rotterdam’s vast harbour to Antwerp, famous for its diamond trade and historic old town, then join a local expert in Ghent to visit St Bavo’s Cathedral. Back in Holland, wander the grand Market Square of Middelburg and the pretty harbour town of Veere, and visit the star-shaped fortress town of Willemstad. Your journey ends with a canal cruise past Amsterdam’s Golden Age homes.
With Avalon Waterways, you'll enjoy relaxed, modern river cruising from part of the family-owned Globus family of brands. Its Suite Ships feature Panorama Suites with wall-to-wall windows that open to create an open-air balcony, and beds that face the view.
