Tulips in Holland

Tulips in Holland Theme Cruise

There are several river cruises that are focused on Holland's tulip season, offering the opportunity to see the country's famous tulip fields in full bloom. These cruises typically take place in the spring, typically from March to May, when the tulips are in season. A dazzling array of colorful tulips bursting into bloom makes spring in Europe a feast for the eyes, and there is no better way to experience this than on a cruise along Dutch and Belgian waterways. Alongside traditional European highlights such as museums, galleries and historic landmarks, these cruises provide breathtaking vistas of field after field of vibrant tulips. Shore excursions might include a picturesque canal cruise in Amsterdam, a trip to the whimsical windmills of Kinderdijk or a visit to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens -- 70 acres of parkland filled with lakes, sculptures and greenhouses. Tulip cruises depart in March, April and May, when flowering tulips are at their peak.
