Bloom & Grow
With seasonal blossoms ready to burst, the fields of Holland and Belgium erupt in a spectacle of epic proportions in the springtime for the ultimate garden party. Annually, the tulip season lasts from the end of March to the middle of May, with mid-April being the best time to see the tulips in bloom. It’s there you will be able to fill your senses with colour, fragrance, and fantastic foods.
A cruise along the Rhine, is one of the best ways to see Holland during the spring season with beautiful fields of colour around every riverbend. Included in many of Avalon Waterways Springtime cruises is a visit to the famous Keukenhof Gardens where 7 million bulbs bloom annually within 70 acres of parklands. It is also home to lakes, sculpture gardens, greenhouses, and a windmill to explore.
