Introduction
Combine the well-known attractions of Holland with those off the beaten track on this delightful river cruise holiday. Cruise from Haarlem to explore northern Holland, where tulip fields abound and the charming area of Friesland is famed for its black and white cows. Cruise across the Ijsselmeer and tour the small town of Hoorn, which gave its name to Cape Horn. Visit the ZuiderZee Museum in Enkhuizen, the Batavia shipyard in Lelystad, and a windmill outside the fishing village of Volendam. In Arnhem, visit the city, the Kröller-Müller Museum, or nearby Het Loo Palace, and from Rotterdam why not visit Keukenhof Gardens? Conclude with a visit to Edam, and, of course a canal cruise in Amsterdam.
