Embark the 5 Star MS Royal Emerald in the cultural capital of the Netherlands, Amsterdam, for this springtime adventure! Visit some of the oldest fishing & trading ports such as Hoorn & Veere along with historical, bustling cities of the Netherlands and Belgium where you can learn about the building of Polderlands, ships, and windmills. Visit the famous Keukenhof Gardens from the port of Amsterdam. We recommend you make this visit at the end of the cruise but please be aware that it is not easy to predict when the tulips will be in bloom. We stop in beautiful Ghent Belgium, the home of chocolate and lace. Enjoy Ghent’s romantic streets and canals or travel by train to spend a day in stunning Bruges. Perhaps you would like to experience traditional Dutch farming or sample and see the local produce and flowers at one of the biggest market halls in the Netherlands in Rotterdam in your free time. The best time to see the Low Countries is in the spring, and the best way to see them is on Teeming River Cruises 10-day cruise. We have something for everyone on this memorable sailing!
