Tulips and Windmills River Cruise 2009


Storybook windmills and the largest flower spectacle on earth!

Our beautiful cruise ship - the River Empress provided us with the opportunity to see Holland the way it is meant to be seen - from the water.

Over 9 glorious days we sailed past storybook windmills and the country's patchwork, rainbow coloured countryside.
We put in at charming ports, giving us the opportunity to explore the fascinating towns of Antwerp, Bruges, Veere, Rotterdam, Dordrecht, Nijmegen, Enkhuizen, Hoorn and Amsterdam.

Highlights included visits to some of the country’s greatest treasures such as the Rijksmuseum (home to the paintings of Rembrandt and the country’s finest works), as well as the magnificent Kroller - Muller Museum.

Throughout the trip our cruising experience was enhanced with a luxurious ship, outstanding cuisine and a superb crew.

Below is my trip diary of our days together. The trip was filled with many wonderful moments, as well as terrific travel companions. Thank you for being part of this exceptional travel experience!

All the best,
