It's a cliché, but a true one; a cruise to the Netherlands takes you to the land of windmills, tulips and canals. It might be small, but the Netherlands more than makes up for that with its rural beauty, traditional values and vibrant culture. Plus, the flat landscape makes it a mecca for cyclists.  [ReadMoreMob]

Away from the countryside, Amsterdam offers a wealth of culture, canals and coffee shops. Famously laid-back and liberal in its views, Amsterdam boasts 17th century buildings, art galleries celebrating Van Gogh and Rembrandt, and museums by the shed load. With a thriving café culture, Amsterdam is a great place to sample the wholesome and hearty cuisine including stamppot and herrings. As for a tipple or two, you can't go to the Netherlands without having an Amstel or Heineken.

With so many sites to see and places to visit, our Netherlands cruises will leave you wanting to come back for more.Once you have checked out the Netherlands, why not explore our other European Cruises for more great holidays on our comfortable and fully-stocked cruise ships.
