The Netherlands in Bloom with Diane
Experience the Netherlands at its most colorful on this 9-night spring river cruise aboard the Avalon Vista, sailing roundtrip from Amsterdam April 11–20, 2027.
If you're going all the way to the Netherlands during tulip season, of course you want the tulips — but you want to see the Netherlands, too!
This itinerary goes well beyond the traditional tulip cruise. You'll visit the historic harbor towns of Hoorn and Enkhuizen, travel through the Dutch flower-growing region, explore Nijmegen and Maastricht, cross into Belgium for Antwerp, see the iconic windmills of Kinderdijk, experience Rotterdam and enjoy time in Amsterdam. And, of course, you'll have the opportunity to visit spectacular Keukenhof Gardens during one of the most beautiful times of year.
Throughout the cruise, Avalon gives you choices in how you'd like to explore. Depending on the destination, included experiences range from traditional guided sightseeing and cultural discoveries to cycling and more active adventures, with plenty of free time along the way.

Come Along With Me!
I'll be sailing on this one myself, and I'd love to have you join me. I'm also arriving in Amsterdam a day early, so if you'd like to do the same, I can arrange the extra night along with your cruise.
Come for the tulips, stay for everything else that makes the Netherlands such a wonderful place to experience in the spring!
