MARVEL AT THE NETHERLANDS IN FULL COLOR
Begin and end in the storied city of Amsterdam on a 10-day river voyage that travels deep into the heart of the Netherlands.
As tulip season reaches its peak, the Dutch countryside bursts into color with fields of blooms and windmills turning above a patchwork landscape. Cobblestone streets and scenic canals lead through villages rich in history, art, and tradition, while historic harbors and modern engineering marvels showcase the Netherlands’ blend of heritage and innovation.
The journey unfolds aboard the Avalon Panorama—featuring two full decks of Panorama Suites with wall-to-wall windows and 200-square-foot Open-Air Balconies. With beds facing the view, each suite offers front-row comfort to the passing scenery. From charming fishing ports to remarkable waterworks, each day reveals a sensory tapestry of natural beauty and human achievement.
