River Cruises– Tulip Time In The Netherlands, Day Five

Paul and Elizabeth sail on AMAWaterways newest ship, the AmaLea, through the Netherlands and Belgium during the height of the spring tulip bloom in April. The tulips are blooming and Holland is at her best.

It’s a chance to experience a river cruise and visit some of the most interesting towns and cities, including Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Middleburg, Ghent, Bruges, and even a stop at Kinderdijk. The ship’s godmother is travel industry veteran Filomena Andre.

The ship’s final stop is Amsterdam, where Paul and Elizabeth visit the Van Gogh Museum. Recently redone, the museum puts the great artist’s work into historical context. As they think about the ending of this week-long cruise, Paul and Elizabeth also share more about what life aboard ship is like and what each of them thinks was the best part of this remarkable river cruise.
