History, horticulture and old town allure meet on the rivers of the Netherlands, where its waterways let you travel like the locals do.

Weaving through the heart of the country, you’ll get up close to quaint fishing villages and medieval old towns, dotted with tulip-filled fields and ubiquitous Dutch windmills along the way.

And when it’s time to disembark, there’s plenty to experience beyond the welcoming warmth of its people. Get cosy in waterside cafes, dine on local favourites like Gouda and Stroopwaffels, and re-discover the works of the art world’s biggest names, from Rembrandt to Van Gogh.
