Your cruise at a glance
Hand-crafted highlights
Make the most of spring on this rewarding five-night escape, timed for the Netherlands’ famous tulip season. Amsterdam provides the perfect base for visits to Keukenhof Gardens or venturing into the surrounding countryside to see fields filled with seasonal blooms at their colourful best. Alternatively, stay in the city and explore by canal boat, discover Van Gogh’s celebrated art and learn more about the moving story of the Anne Frank House, with time to soak up Amsterdam’s distinctive atmosphere along the way. Across the border, Zeebrugge opens the way to Bruges, where cobbled streets, historic squares and winding canals create a distinctive setting for sampling Belgian favourites such as chocolate, waffles and locally brewed beer.
