Garden and Nature

Fields of blooming colour

Springtime in Holland and Belgium gives new meaning to the word "colour". With seasonal blossoms ready to burst, the fields of Holland and Belgium erupt in a spectacle of epic proportions for the ultimate garden party. An Avalon Garden and Nature cruise reveals the most beautiful gardens and parks throughout the region, from the 70-acre Keukenhof Gardens to the secret gardens of Amsterdam. Glide through a kaleidoscope of flowering colour on the canals and waterways and see windmills standing watch over a sea of tulips that seem to go on forever.
