Our river Cruises in the Netherlands
The Netherlands, or the land of flowers, is one of those places where life is good. People are simply happy and live peacefully in their serene and quiet cities, as calm as the waters that cross them.
During a stay in Holland must see the cities governed and shaped by water, where canals intersect and intermingle in a sumptuous maze.
Amsterdam, the capital city is called “The Venice of the North”, the numerous canals, picturesque streets, museums and various curiosities give it a sweet and captivating atmosphere. The omnipresence of water gives the city its essence as its philosophy: taking time.
A truly romantic capital and destination cherished by millions, Amsterdam has so much to offer: its museums, its culture, its neighbourhoods. But above all its atmosphere that, more than anything else, allows its visitors to contemplate and which no single word or image can depict.
