Floriade 2012 Once Every 10 Years
Belgium & Holland River Cruise
Exclusively Featuring Floriade
In the Netherlands, flowers are a way of life.
Once every ten years, the Netherlands hosts Floriade – a World Horticulture Exposition showcasing garden-inspired exhibits from around the globe. In 2012, a full day visit to Floriade’s “theatre of nature” in Venlo is a highlight of our riverboat cruise through the inland waterways of Belgium and Holland. Check out the Aalsmeer Flower Auction and visit Keukenhof Gardens or Haarlem in Holland’s bulb country. Take a private cruise through Amsterdam’s canals and experience the past at the Zuiderzee Museum. Taste Belgian beer, observe cheese-weighing in Gouda and porcelain-making in Delft, and enjoy an interactive culinary experience at Château Neercanne – a Tauck Exclusive! Tour renowned art museums and World War II sites, and visit Bruges or Ghent, Brussels, Amsterdam, Antwerp, the Hague and more on one of our most popular European river cruises.
