Amsterdam, Kinderdijk & Dutch Bulbfields

From £1,299 pp

Experience historic maritime cities, where innovation meets the traditions of the past, plus the authenticity of iconic windmills and the floral masterpiece of the colourful Dutch bulb fields. The stunning bulbfields really are an amazing sight. In Keukenhof Park there are a staggering 7 million blooms covering 80 acres in a riot of colour whilst imaginative landscaping shows off mother-nature at her outstanding best with shimmering lakes, water-gardens and flowering shrubs of every hue.

You will also explore the Ijsselmeer, the inland lagoon created by the damming of the Zuider Zee in the 1930’s and discover the series of beautiful villages along its shore which have made their living from the sea for centuries. It was from here during the 16th century Golden Age, that the Dutch roamed the world in search of the spices, silks and luxury goods which Europe’s aristocracy craved and today they are little changed since this time. Blend this with Amsterdam, one of Europe’s most vibrant and fascinating cities and a wonderful few days are in store.

Enkhuizen, The Netherlands
Day 1 - Amsterdam

Fly to Amsterdam from a choice of regional airports or take the Eurostar from London St Pancras International to Brussels, where you change trains and continue to Amsterdam.

On arrival, transfer by coach to your five-star cruise ship moored near the city centre and railway station. The friendly crew welcomes you on board, helping you settle into your spacious and exquisitely furnished accommodation – you’ll feel immediately at home.

Day 1 - Amsterdam

Dinner

Day 2 - Enkhuizen

Overnight the ship slips its moorings, steering a course north. As dawn breaks, you’re greeted by views of Enkhuizen, a picturesque port nestling at the edge of the former Zuiderzee.

During the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century, the Netherlands dominated world maritime trade, becoming fabulously prosperous.

Enkhuizen, as one of the country’s principal ports specialising in trade in the East Indies, flourished. Merchants keen to display their wealth created this town of gabled houses, narrow streets, bridges and waterways. It’s a delight to explore, taking in the atmosphere of its little streets and jumble of sailing boats in the harbour. Fittingly, it is also home to the Zuiderzee Museum.

This superbly recreates the 19th-century heritage of Holland’s inland bay and combines permanent exhibits with demonstrations of the artisan skills of yesteryear such as sailmaking, fish curing and blacksmithing, to make our visit here a fascinating experience.

Day 2 - Enkhuizen

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 3 - Rotterdam & Kinderdijk

Wake up in historic Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second largest metropolis, situated where the Rhine flows into the North Sea. This morning we embark on a guided tour of this captivating city, from the old harbour to the modern architecture, passing by the Witte Huis, Europe’s first sky scraper, built in the Art Nouveau style.

Known as the ‘Gateway to Europe’, it is the largest European cargo port and has been a conduit for trade since the 14th century.

Unsurprisingly, its logistical significance made it a target for bombing during the Second World War and its old town was destroyed, with only the Church of Saint Lawrence left standing.

During the following decades Rotterdam was reconstructed with typical Dutch optimism and engineering expertise and now boasts an abundance of innovative and imaginative architecture.

Day 3 - Rotterdam & Kinderdijk

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 4 - Keukenhof & Amsterdam

A long spring season and the polders’ well-drained soil create the perfect environment for growing the Netherlands’ world-famous tulips, first imported into the country from the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century.

This morning we drive through the scenic bulb fields to Keukenhof, the world’s largest flower garden, covering nearly 80 acres. Nothing prepares you for the dazzling carpet of colours created by the seven million tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other blooms arranged in rows, swirls and every other imaginable shape.

The art of flower planting reaches breathtaking heights in Keukenhof’s themed areas, and wandering among this dramatic pageant of hues set in a landscape of lakes, trees, pavilions and water features is magical – and provides gardeners with a wealth of inspiration to take home!

Day 4 - Keukenhof & Amsterdam

Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 5 - Amsterdam - Return Home

This morning, we transfer to the railway station or airport for our return journey.

Riviera Travel Emily Brontë

Emily Brontë is one of Riviera Travel’s new ‘all suite’ ships.  Launched in 2017 she offers excellent standards of accommodation consistent with Scylla’s (the ship operator) other 5 star ships. Standard Suites are large at 183 ft² with floor to ceiling windows opening to a rail on the middle and upper decks. Suites on the lower deck are slightly smaller at 172 ft² and feature high level windows. 6 Superior Suites and 4 Deluxe Balcony Suites are available on each ship at 247 ft² and 269 ft² respectively. Deluxe Balcony Suites, located on the upper deck, also feature a small private balcony. This superb vessel carries 44 in-house trained crew members serving just 176 guests (similar size vessels may carry well over 190 passengers) giving the ratio which our experience proves is concurrent with first class service levels. An outstanding ship it would be very easy to just say ‘luxurious’ but it’s much more than that, a unique yet exquisite blend of understated taste, style and elegance at the highest level. A spacious new vessel as you enter a gleaming, richly coloured marble-floored lobby flooded with natural light from a stunning atrium above. The ship is beautifully illuminated throughout, including the exterior and imaginatively furnished with harmonious colour schemes, all designed to create the serene atmosphere reflective of the golden age of cruising.

From the split-level lounge and main restaurant, to the natural light flooding in through floor-to-ceiling French balconies in over 80% of cabins and suites, life on board feels bright and airy. Located on the Diamond Deck, the Grand Suites are a generous 32 square metres and feature separate living and sleeping areas alongside a private balcony, making them our most spacious suites yet. At 24 square metres, our Superior Suites also offer a luxurious sense of space.

The ship’s main restaurant is comparable to the finest onshore dining, elevating every meal with exquisite European porcelain, sparkling glassware and the intuitive service for which the Swiss are renowned. Two additional speciality restaurants provide a more intimate setting, each showcasing a tempting selection of local flavours.

Designed with the latest technology and strong environmental values at its heart, Riviera Reflection has been designed to meet Gold Standard accreditation through the Green Award programme. Relax with a cocktail on the Sun Deck, knowing your holiday has been thoughtfully designed to minimise its impact on the landscapes we journey through.

A small number of bicycles are available on board for guests. Please enquire at reception for details.

Please note: As Riviera Reflection has yet to launch, images shown of the ship are currently of its sister ship, Riviera Radiance or Riviera Resplendence.

Designed to be our most spacious and sophisticated river cruise experience, Riviera Rhapsody combines contemporary style with welcoming comfort at every turn.

Flooded with natural light, the ship’s bright, open interiors create an effortless sense of space, while floor-to-ceiling French balconies in over 80% of cabins and suites bring the ever-changing river scenery closer than ever.

For those seeking even more room to unwind, the Diamond Deck’s Grand Suites offer an impressive 32 square metres of beautifully designed living space, complete with separate lounge and sleeping areas and a private balcony. At 24 square metres, our Superior Suites are equally generous, providing some of the most spacious accommodation in our fleet.

Dining is every bit as memorable as the destinations themselves. Alongside the main restaurant, where elegant lunches and expertly prepared dinners are served, you’ll find two additional speciality venues. The Riverview Kitchen offers a relaxed alternative inspired by classic grill dining, while our signature Mosaic restaurant presents an imaginative culinary journey showcasing flavours and influences drawn from Europe’s great rivers.

Throughout the ship, thoughtful design details, attentive service and refined surroundings create the atmosphere of a premium boutique hotel. Whether you’re relaxing with a cocktail on the Sun Deck, enjoying the view from the lounge or returning to the comfort of your suite, every space has been designed with comfort and contemporary luxury in mind.

Riviera Rhapsody has also been built with enhanced sustainability features and is designed to minimise its environmental impact, helping preserve the landscapes, waterways and communities that make river cruising so rewarding.

A small number of bicycles are available on board for guests wishing to explore independently. Please enquire at reception for further information.

Riviera Travel Thomas Hardy Exterior

Thomas Hardy is one of Riviera Travel’s new ‘all suite’ ships.  Launched in 2017 she offers excellent standards of accommodation consistent with Scylla’s (the ship operator) other 5 star ships. Standard Suites are large at 183 ft² with floor to ceiling windows opening to a rail on the middle and upper decks. Suites on the lower deck are slightly smaller at 172 ft² and feature high level windows. 6 Superior Suites and 4 Deluxe Balcony Suites are available on each ship at 247 ft² and 269 ft² respectively. Deluxe Balcony Suites, located on the upper deck, also feature a small private balcony. This superb vessel carries 44 in-house trained crew members serving just 176 guests (similar size vessels may carry well over 190 passengers) giving the ratio which our experience proves is concurrent with first class service levels. An outstanding ship it would be very easy to just say ‘luxurious’ but it’s much more than that, a unique yet exquisite blend of understated taste, style and elegance at the highest level. A spacious new vessel as you enter a gleaming, richly coloured marble-floored lobby flooded with natural light from a stunning atrium above. The ship is beautifully illuminated throughout, including the exterior and imaginatively furnished with harmonious colour schemes, all designed to create the serene atmosphere reflective of the golden age of cruising.
