Sail through Belgium and the Netherlands as we discover the floral displays of Keukenhof Gardens, visit poignant war sites, and explore the quaint streets of Amsterdam, Bruges, Ghent and more.
Don't miss the opportunity to marvel at the awe-inspiring blooms of Keukenhof. The world's largest flower garden is only open for a few months of the year, and its kaleidoscope of vibrant displays decorating the meticulously landscaped grounds promise to leave you breathless.
On our voyage, we'll explore some of the region's most charming cities, such as Antwerp and Ghent, and discover one of Europe’s finest ‘old world’ cities: the delightful Bruges. Take in the beauty of Amsterdam as you glide through its enchanting canals on a glass-topped canal boat. And enjoy a fascinating glimpse into traditional Dutch life, with a guided tour through historic buildings, crafts and customs in an open-air museum.
Alternatively, those with an interest in history can choose to pay their respects at the battle HQ of the British 1st Airborne Division in Oosterbeek and visit the Commonwealth War Cemetery, and embark on a poignant excursion to Ypres and Tyne Cot Cemetery, reflecting the First World War’s staggering loss of life during an unforgettable trip back in time.
This holiday is ideal for travellers with an interest in history and gardens.

5* Ships
OVERVIEW
Rather than following minimalist trends, the ship has a more familiar, characterful feel – a space that feels well cared for and easy to settle into. From the moment you step into the light-filled atrium, with its open, airy lobby, there’s a clear sense of space and calm.
Across the ship, public areas have been designed with guest comfort in mind, from the lounge and bar to the restaurant, reception and fitness area. Materials such as warm woods, polished metals and glass are used with care, creating a timeless, balanced look that has been refreshed over time.
Up on the sun deck, there’s space to sit back and enjoy the ever-changing views, while cabins include thoughtful details that make relaxing on board simple and comfortable.
A small number of bicycles are also available – just ask at reception for more information.
