Tulip Serenade River Cruise

Awaken your senses on a beautifully refined spring river cruise through the heart of Holland and Belgium, where elegant cities, historic waterways and vibrant floral landscapes come together in perfect harmony. Step on board the sophisticated Amadeus Riva and settle into a world of understated luxury as you glide effortlessly along tranquil rivers, passing windmills, pastoral countryside and scenes that feel timeless in their beauty.

 

Your journey unfolds through some of Europe’s most captivating destinations. Discover the charm of Amsterdam with its iconic canals and elegant streets, explore Arnhem and its compelling wartime history, and experience the medieval grace of Middelburg. In Ghent, grand guildhalls and canal-lined streets reflect centuries of prosperity, while Antwerp enchants with its architectural splendour, artistic heritage and refined indulgences. A visit to Rotterdam provides a striking contrast, revealing bold modern design set against the gentle rhythm of river life.

 

The experience is beautifully complemented by overnight stays in the fairy-tale city of Brugge, allowing you to linger among winding canals, cobbled streets and beautifully preserved medieval architecture. These unhurried moments ashore add depth and balance to the journey, enhancing the sense of occasion throughout.

 

From the elegant comfort of Amadeus Riva to the unforgettable spectacle of Keukenhof Gardens, where millions of tulips burst into colour in one of the world’s most celebrated spring displays, this thoughtfully curated cruise captures Europe at its most enchanting. Blending iconic cities, scenic waterways and seasonal beauty, it offers an indulgent and memorable way to experience the continent in bloom.
