During tulip season in the Low Countries, follow meandering rivers and canals through storybook villages, idyllic green countryside, and multicolored fields of spring flowers. Witness the spellbinding art of Dutch and Flemish masters, explore stunning medieval architecture, and savor the local cuisine, all while cruising aboard the delightful, intimate riverboat Magnifique III. Begin in Amsterdam with a walking tour and see timeless works by Dutch masters such as Rembrandt at the Rijksmuseum. Then embark Magnifique III, stopping in towns like Kinderdijk, Holland, with its perfectly aligned, UNESCO-recognized windmills. Call at Antwerp, Belgium, to see Rubens’s Descent From the Cross and visit the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp. Explore Ghent, including the magnificent Saint Bavo’s Cathedral housing the 15th-century Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (Ghent Altarpiece) by the Van Eyck brothers. Conclude in Bruges, the “Venice of the North,” where a highlight will be a behind-the-scenes look at an authentic ancestral medieval estate.
