Immerse yourself in the captivating beauty of Holland and Belgium on this combined city and canal cruise journey. Begin in Amsterdam, where we’ll stroll along picturesque canals, discover iconic landmarks like the Royal Palace, and visit the poignant Anne Frank House. In the heart of the Dutch Golden Age, we’ll explore vibrant flower markets and wander through the UNESCO-listed canal district, taking in Amsterdam’s classic architecture.
Our tour then takes us beyond Amsterdam to Delft and The Hague. In Delft, we’ll wander medieval streets famous for blue-and-white pottery, while The Hague offers a blend of royal heritage and political history, from the Binnenhof to Noordeinde Palace. A visit to Scheveningen’s coastal charm completes our time in Holland. Before crossing into Belgium, we explore Zaanse Schans, an open-air museum with working windmills, a cheese farm, and traditional clog-making workshops.
In Belgium, we stop in Antwerp, celebrated for its medieval architecture, art, and vibrant street life, before arriving in Halle to begin a seven-day canal barge cruise. This intimate journey along Belgium’s scenic waterways offers daily discoveries: we’ll marvel at Brussels’ Grand Place, tour the Château de Beloeil, and sample local jenever and beers in traditional distilleries. Cruising past the Ronquières Inclined Plane and Strepy-Thieu boat lift, we witness Belgium’s heritage of engineering innovation.
Each stop reveals more of Belgium’s charm. In Mons, we’ll enjoy a local food tour, while Ghent and Bruges dazzle with cobblestone streets, bustling squares, and romantic canals. The canal cruise offers a perfect blend of leisure and immersion, allowing time to relax on the sun deck or explore independently in each unique destination.
