Holland
BARGE HOLLAND AT TULIP TIME
The Tulip Season in Holland begins in early April and ends the third week of May - although the actual blooming period depends on spring weather patterns.Holland's waterways remain the heart of this fascinating country - which for centuries has been centered on its canal and rivers. Barging takes you into this world of living history married to contemporary culture. With Amsterdam as the base, you’ll cruise right to such enchanting, cobble stoned towns as Delft, Haarlem, Gouda and Alkmaar.
Flowers star in April and May. You may visit at the right time to be driven through fields of tulips for as far as the eye can see. All barge cruises in Holland include a tour of Keukenhof Gardens, a 70-acre showcase of the Dutch flower industry open for nine weeks every spring. Here are seven million flowers on display - including 1000 varieties of tulips alone! Another impressive flower venue is Allsmeer Flower Auction, which you will also visit. Housed in the world's largest commercial building - it is the same area as nine football fields - and under one roof - the auction sets the worldwide price each day for millions of flowers and plants.
Your barge cruise in Holland will most likely begin and end in Amsterdam (although some barges add ports in Belgium as well, which makes for a different experience). Amsterdam is a city cris-crossed by canals and bridges and is known for art, history, shopping (From Chanel to a beer shop selling thousands of brands!) and youthful lifestyle in the cafes and on bicycles.
The richness of the culture beckons at all times in museums brimming with old Master’s paintings and the sight of windmills turning serenely in the horizon. We’ve cruised in Holland many times and love the beauty of its calm landscapes contrasted with the colorful tulip fields.
