About the trip

This seven-night cruise on the MS George Eliot begins and ends in Amsterdam, sailing the Dutch and Belgian waterways. It pauses for the Keukenhof Gardens, where millions of tulips create lanes of vivid colour, and continues to Arnhem with options to visit the Airborne Museum or an open-air Dutch heritage museum.

Belgium’s cultural highlights follow with a guided tour of Antwerp, famed for its Baroque art and diamond trade, then a choice between Ghent with its medieval canals and artworks, or Ypres and its poignant World War I sites including the Tyne Cot Cemetery. The itinerary culminates with a visit to Bruges’ medieval squares and Belfry tower overlooking Flanders.

The ship is a comfortable base with atmosphere and good food, notably a chef’s dinner in Bruges. Evenings include traditional music performances and a guitar player in Amsterdam. The cruising pace allows mornings for watching waterways glide by and afternoons free for personalised exploration, from Dutch master museums to sampling local beers or relaxing in canal-side cafés. Riviera Travel brings its experienced touch to this classic European river passage.
