7. THE BEAUTY OF ART AND FLOWERS Wake up in Amsterdam where you’ll discover that the Netherlands’ capital is a vibrant blend of the historic and the contemporary, from its medieval core and 17th-century canals to the bustling shops, cafés, and rich cosmopolitan life of a 21st-century European metropolis. You’ll have breakfast aboard your riverboat before departing for your guided exploration of this nearly car-free city of flower-rimmed canals, gracious gabled mansions, and people on bikes – on a boat cruise through the network of centuries-old canals. Amsterdam has more canals than Venice! You’ll get a refreshing perspective on the city. It may not surprise you to discover that cultured Amsterdam has more museums per kilometer than any other European capital. Enjoy a guided visit to the matchless Rijksmuseum, filled with myriad works by the Dutch Masters, including Rembrandt’s The Night Watch and Vermeer’s The Milkmaid. Lunch is served onboard your riverboat, and then you’re off to Keukenhof Gardens in nearby Lisse, the home of famous show gardens and millions of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in various stages of bloom at this time of the year. A rolling carpet of color, Keukenhof is one of Europe’s most iconic – and fragrant – places to see spring. Head back to your riverboat for dinner and your last night on the waterways; the captain and crew will bid you a warm farewell at a shipboard reception. Meals BLD
8. JOURNEY HOME Tour ends: Amsterdam. Fly home anytime; a transfer from your riverboat to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport or Centraal Train Station is included. Allow a minimum of 3 hours for flight check-in at the airport. For additional nights in Amsterdam after the cruise – or in Brussels pre-cruise – ask at booking. Meals B
The Tauck staff and that of the riverboat were outstanding, the accommodations were wonderful, the food and beverages surpassed our expectations, and the sites were splendid. – Hon. Michael H. Cherry, MI
