Holland & Belgium River Cruise Destinations
From tulip gardens to windmill villages and canal cities, here’s what a Holland cruise brings within a short walk of the ship.
Amsterdam
The start and end of most cruises — canals, the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank House and the floating flower market, all steps from the ship.
Keukenhof & the tulip fields
The world’s largest flower garden and the surrounding bollenstreek bulb fields — the reason to sail in April, and simply unforgettable.
Kinderdijk
A UNESCO World Heritage site of 19 historic windmills along the polders — the classic Dutch view, seen right from the deck.
Zaanse Schans & Dutch towns
Working windmills, cheese and clog makers at Zaanse Schans, plus Gouda, Delft, Hoorn and Rotterdam’s modern skyline.
Antwerp, Ghent & Bruges
On Holland & Belgium sailings — Flemish art cities of medieval squares, canals, chocolate and world-famous beer.
Tulip-season cruises fill the city’s hotels early, so reserve your pre-cruise night soon — compare hotel rates in Amsterdam.
Bruges is at its most magical after the day visitors leave; for an evening beside its canals, look through places to stay in Bruges.
