    Spring in bloom.
    Europe to explore.

     

    Keukenhof's glorious colour, Bruges' storybook streets and a little French flair in Lille.

    Bring a fresh perspective to your spring with a five-day escape through the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Wander among the flowers at Keukenhof, discover two very different historic cities and enjoy free time in Amsterdam before sailing home.

    With garden admission, coach travel, two hotel nights and overnight DFDS crossings included, this is a lovely way to combine a spectacular garden visit with a taste of three countries.

    Keukenhof Gardens · Admission included

    A garden that makes
    spring feel extraordinary.

    Keukenhof is a celebration of the Netherlands' great flower-growing tradition. Around seven million spring-flowering bulbs are planted each year, creating richly layered displays across a landscaped park of mature trees, water and winding paths.

    Tulips are the stars, but it is the whole setting that makes the experience so memorable: sweeping ribbons of colour, carefully composed borders and a different view around the next bend. Spend time exploring at your own pace, pause beside the water and let your camera do a little extra work.

    Your entrance is included. The displays evolve through the season, giving each visit its own spring character.

    Beautiful planting, designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace.

    A visit full of colour, texture and fresh inspiration.
    A picturesque canal and historic buildings in Bruges

    Bruges, a city
    to fall for.

    Cobbled lanes, stepped-gable houses and graceful canals make Bruges wonderfully easy to love. Its UNESCO-listed historic centre preserves the character of a city that once stood at the heart of European trade.

    Enjoy the views along the water, find your way towards the Markt beneath the Belfry and take a moment to appreciate the details. Belgian chocolate shops and inviting cafés add their own temptations to a visit that feels full of little discoveries.

    The ornate Vieille Bourse beside Lille's Grand Place

    Lille, with a little
    French flair.

    Continue to Lille, where grand architecture meets lively shopping streets and café culture. The richly decorated Vieille Bourse and the Grand'Place give the city centre a striking sense of occasion.

    Explore the charming streets of Vieux-Lille, browse the shops or pause for a coffee and something sweet. It is a lovely contrast to Bruges: equally rich in character, with its own distinctly French atmosphere.

    Gabled merchant houses reflected in an Amsterdam canal

    Amsterdam · Free time before your return sailing

    One more city.
    A final change of pace.

    Your journey back to IJmuiden includes free time in Amsterdam. Enjoy the canal-lined streets, arched bridges and tall merchant houses that make the Dutch capital instantly recognisable.

    Browse the shops, find a waterside view or settle into a café before returning to the ship. It is a fitting final chapter to a break that brings together gardens, history and the simple pleasure of exploring somewhere different.

    Two nights in the Lille area

    A comfortable base
    between discoveries.

    Park Inn by Radisson Lille Grand Stade is your base for two nights on a bed and breakfast basis.

    Located in Villeneuve-d'Ascq beside the Stade Pierre Mauroy, this modern four-star hotel offers a welcoming place to recharge. Settle into your room, make use of the free Wi-Fi and start each morning with your included breakfast before the next outing.
