“The Netherlands is, of course, world famous for its fields of colorful flowers, but next year guests on one of our newest cruises will get to experience an extraordinary excursion to the Floriade Expo,” said Marilyn Conroy, Riviera River Cruises’ Executive Vice President Sales and Marketing North America. “Floriade takes place only once every 10 years is truly a feast for the senses, bringing together countries from around the world for a horticultural celebration. At Riviera, we pride ourselves on special touches like this that make our guests’ trips even more memorable – we hope you’ll think of us first when booking your European river cruise.”
The eight-day Amsterdam, Cologne and the Best of Holland & Flanders River Cruise travels the Dutch waterways and Rhine River from the capital of the Netherlands to maritime Rotterdam, medieval Ghent and Belgium’s second city, Antwerp, before arriving in magnificent Cologne.
On 2022 departures, guests will have the option of either a full-day excursion to the Floriade Expo in Almere, outside Amsterdam, or a morning visit to Floriade with free time in Amsterdam in the afternoon.
