Next, travel onward to Bruges, stopping in Ghent for a guided city walk. Visit St. Bavo’s Cathedral, the Belfry, and the Earl’s Castle. In addition, admire canal-side Renaissance houses along the Graslei and Korenlei.

In Bruges, enjoy a walking tour featuring the Church of Our Lady, Michelangelo’s Madonna, and the Markt Square Belfry. You will also have the chance to cruise the canals at sunset for a magical perspective of the medieval city. Moreover, taste beers brewed with ancient spice blends at the Gruut Brewery.

Finally, explore the poignant history of World War I at Flanders Fields. Visit memorials, museums, and preserved trenches, or opt for a scenic flight over the region.

Finally, board your luxury Tulip Time river cruise in artistic Antwerp to begin the Belgium & Amsterdam river cruise portion of your journey. Sail first to Ghent, where Gothic architecture and medieval charm await. Then cruise to Rotterdam, a hub of modern architecture and vibrant culture. 

The epitome of elegance, your vessel allows you to cruise the inland waters of the Netherlands and Belgium to discover the land of windmills, tulips, and wooden shoes. Of course, Ker & Downey can always recommend the best tulip river cruise based on your travel dates and preferences.

You will eventually arrive in Amsterdam, the highlight of any best tulip river cruise. 

Your Belgium & Amsterdam river cruise finally concludes in Amsterdam.

During your two days here, take advantage of all the city has to offer. Enjoy a private canal cruise and a visit to one of the city’s many museums. Then explore the Aalmeer Flower Auction, the largest trading center for plants in the world. Whether you wish to visit the Anne Frank or Van Gogh Museums, or participate in a private Heineken experience—anything is possible with your private Ker & Downey driver and guide at your disposal.
