Garden enthusiasts will delight in a visit to see the breathtaking colors of Keukenhof, also known as the “Garden of Europe.” With 70 acres of parkland and lakes, it’s one of the world’s largest flower gardens with nearly 7 million flowering bulbs bursting with color. Next, sail to Antwerp, Belgium’s second-largest city, known for its centuries-old history in diamond trading amid ancient buildings and monuments combined with modern architecture. In Ghent, Belgium, join a local expert for a guided tour of the city, including a visit to St. Baaf’s Cathedral. Your cruise traverses back into Holland where you’ll explore Middelburg, formerly an important trading city. You’ll still get a sense of its historic wealth today with its impressive structures like the Gothic Town Hall, Abbey Tower, and bustling Market Square. This beautiful and historic springtime river cruise concludes with more time to explore the wonderful city of Amsterdam.

Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
1. The cabin was wonderfully and thoughtfully laid out. There was enough space and space was well planned and functional.
2. The staff was friendly, pleasant and professional. They made every effort to accommodate passengers.
Food on Avalon is marginal and don't know why. With just a little imagination could have been great.
