Dutch Waterways River Cruises

Compact yet complex, the intricacy of the Dutch Waterways stands in stark contrast to the gentle landscapes and relaxed ambience of the region.

The most compact network of inland waterways found in Europe, this enchanting series of canals, rivers and lakes stretches from Amsterdam to Maastricht’s historic sights before moving onto Belgium’s storied collection of cities.

Bursting with colour and culture, you’ll have a chance to explore the many-splendoured Keukenhof Gardens, where the world’s largest floral display blooms with delightful tulips; wander by wondrous architecture in Rotterdam and take a trip to the Van Gogh Museum, an eye-opening opportunity to learn about the iconic painter’s processes and works in more detail than ever before.

Whether you’re seeing it on foot, by bike or from the luxury of your ship, exploring the Dutch Waterways has something to marvel at with every twist and turn. And since it’s mostly flat, it’s perfect for travellers looking for a gentle pace to their adventure too.

We’re huge fans of this enchanting region, and we’re sure you will be too. Take a look at the best of what else Dutch Waterways river cruises have in store for travellers below.
