Tour Overview
Take in the delights of the Netherlands as you sail along the country’s waterways on this spring river cruise. Keukenhof Gardens is a highlight - it’s home to one of the world’s largest collection of flowers, including millions of tulips. You’ll also explore a village of windmills and visit historical towns enriched by the once-powerful Dutch East India Company. We’ll complete our journey in Amsterdam, with a cruise along the 17th-century narrow waterways and canals.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : UK - Amsterdam - Hoorn
Location: Amsterdam, Hoorn
Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your journey to Dover, where we take a break before boarding our coaches, for the Channel crossing to Calais and onward journey to Amsterdam. Upon arrival, embark our ship, where light refreshments are available. This evening we’ll sail for Hoorn, where the ship moors overnight.
Day 2 : Hoorn - Enkhuizen
Location: Hoorn, Enkhuizen
This morning, after an onboard lecture on tulips, you’re free to explore the compact city of Hoorn. Or, you can join an optional walking tour to see how modern life blends with the historical townscape. The beautiful port and harbour was the shipping point of the Dutch East India Company, and this afternoon we sail onwards to Enkhuizen, which also grew in the 17th century on the wealth of the great trading company.
Day 3 : Enkhuizen (Keukenhof)
Location: Enkhuizen
Enjoy a full day’s visit to Keukenhof Gardens, a 32-acre showcase of seven million flowers, set within sweeping gardens or as part of unique and inspiring flower shows, themed each year. The endless beds of vibrant tulips, daffodils and hyacinths create the world’s most magnificent spring gardens, and the historical garden shows the origin of the iconic tulip. We dock overnight in Lelystad.
Day 4 : Zaandam
Location: Zaandam
We arrive in Zaandam and take an included excursion to the village of Zaanse Schans. The village is filled with typical 18th and 19th-century Dutch barns and houses, as well as museums demonstrating traditional Dutch crafts such as clog- and cheese-making. A highlight of any visit though, are the six well-preserved historic windmills that were carefully relocated here.
Day 5 : Amsterdam
Location: Amsterdam
This morning we disembark for a leisurely boat tour of Amsterdam’s 17th-century canals, lined with merchants’ town houses and city attractions; followed by a coach tour of the remainder of the city.The afternoon is free for you to explore this quirky capital. Perhaps visit Anne Frank’s House, the Van Gogh Museum or Rembrandt House Museum, or complete your cruise experience by visiting the Amsterdam National Maritime Museum, viewing Oostindisch Huis, the former headquarters of the Dutch East India Company, and strolling along the canals.
