Colors of Spring

Southern Relax Tulip Tour

Tour Description: Guided

Between April and mid-May we offer special tulip tours. The program is quite similar to the Southern Tour Relax, but in springtime this tour will be centered around the Tulip theme and of course you visit the “Keukenhof”.

The tulip originated in Turkey. The tulip bulb reached The Netherlands at the end of the 16th century. The flower and bulb were thought to be so special that a lively trade arose quite quickly. In 1634 there was one single bulb that was so expensive; a whole canal side house in Amsterdam costed the equivalent. In 1637 the government took the speculation in hand and the bulbs dropped in price drastically. The bulb and flower became "normal."

Today Aalsmeer controls a market share of 44% for the turnover of bulbs and tulip flowers. The route leads through vast fields of tulips. You will of course visit the world-famous, 32-hectares‟ park The Keukenhof, where you can admire the wonderfully colourful fields with flowering bulbs in peace and quiet.

Daily Program: Guided

Day 1: Amsterdam
Embarkation at 2 PM near Central Station. When you arrive on board the ship, you can put your luggage away in your cabin and then enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. It is also a good moment to become acquainted with the guide, skipper and crew and of course your fellow passengers. 

In the 12th century Amsterdam was no more than a modest settlement at the mouth of the river Amstel, with open connection to the sea. In those days fishermen and craftsmen built a dam in the Amstel (now the site of the National Monument) and Amstel-re-damme was born. Amsterdam was granted a municipal charter in 1275 and has since expanded continually. In the 17th and 18th century Amsterdamers were the most prosperous Europeans. The famous rings of canals were dug in the Golden Age, the 17th century. Powerful merchants had their abundantly ornamented mansions built here, thus manifesting their riches.

Amsterdam is a city to be explored on foot and we recommend the following places of interest: the rings of canals; the Jordaan area, with its many pubs, outdoor cafés and quaint shops; Vondelpark with its open air concerts; Leidseplein; Rembrandtsplein; the antique shops in the Spiegel district; Museum Square with the Rijksmuseum (National Museum), Stedelijk Museum (Museum of Modern Art), Van Gogh Museum and off course the Anne Frank House.

Other typical features of Amsterdam are its numerous 'hofjes' (almshouses), the floating flower market, and the hundreds of houseboats lining the canals. Amsterdam is inextricably related to the diamond-cutting industry, which has brought much fame to the city since the 17th century.The palace on Dam Square is sometimes called the eighth Wonder of the World as it was built on 13,659 piles.

Vianen received city rights in 1336. Vianen thrived under the counts of Brederode, who acquired its lordship through marriage early in the 15th century. It formed a self-proclaimed sovereign seignory until 1795, including Vianen, Lexmond, Hei- en Boeicop and Meerkerk. During the Middle Ages, as a "free city," Vianen could be a haven for felons and escaped serfs. Of the three castles built during the town's history, Castle Batestein was said to be one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. Its only remnants are a 17th century brick gate and water-pump. Remnants of the old city wall are visible girdling parts of the old downtown.In case it is not possible to moore here, the ship will sail to Schoonhoven/Nieuwpoort, a nice tour with beautiful sights in the river.At dinnertime the programme for the next day and the routine for the rest of the week will be explained.
Overnight in Vianen 

Day 2: Vianen - Gouda (25 miles/40 km)
From Vianen the cycle route goes along the river Lek to Schoonhoven.
A visit to Schoonhoven means getting to know the rich past of the centuries-old traditional silversmith craft.After visiting Schoonhoven, you cycle along the river " de Vlist" to Gouda.The river 'Vlist' is a small river that flows from Schoonhoven to Haastrecht where she ends in the Hollandsche IJssel. The Vlist is about 10 km and is a so-called peat river. It was formerly used as a basin for the polders surrounding this river. You could find many mills in this area. Today the river more or less has a tourist function. In particular cyclists and hikers use the area for their tours.

Today you end in Gouda, cheese city. Whoever says Gouda not only thinks immediately of cheese, pipes, treacle waffles and earthenware, but also of stained glass windows, a picturesque town hall and romantic canals. Gouda is a real old Dutch town with a virtually intact town centre.

The 123-metre long St. Janskerk (St. John's Church) with its world- famous stained-glass windows (closed on Sunday), the fabulous Gothic Town Hall and the Waag (Weigh House) are well worth a visit. The Gouda museums are the Catharina Gasthuis, formerly the municipal hospital, the pipe and earthenware museum the Moriaan and the Verzetsmuseum Zuid-Holland (Resistance Museum).

Also visit the Cultural and Harbour Quarter with Weeshuisplein (Orphanage Square), the Catharinatuin (Catherina Garden, various hofjes (almshouses) and Museumhaven Gouda (Gouda Harbour Museum).
Overnight in Gouda. 

Day 3: Gouda - Rotterdam - Delft (25 miles/40 km)
From Gouda you cycle past scenic polders via Kinderdijk to Rotterdam. Kinderdijk has the largest group of windmills in the Netherlands. The windmills at Kinderdijk were still actively used until 1950. These days, a large pumping station is responsible for controlling the water level in the polder. Here you can visit a windmill.In Rotterdam you embark and from there the ship takes you to Delft.

Delft is famous for its pottery, the 'Delft blue'. The painter Johannes Vermeer has made the town famous, but it is also known as the town of William of Orange. William of Orange lies buried in the Nieuwe Kerk in Delft, the church where members of the House of Orange are still buried.

Some attractions in Delft are the Botanical Gardens, the Prinsenhof (Prince’s Residence) and the Tabaks Historic Museum (Tobacco Historical Museum). The Botanical Gardens are an oasis of peace, colour, scent and silence, with various walking routes showing you various aspects of plant life in the garden.

The Prinsenhof Museum is housed in the former St Agatha's monastery. In 1572 William of Orange chose the convent as one of his residences. It was from here that he led the revolt against the Spanish tyranny of Holland. He was murdered on the steps of the Prinsenhof on July 10, 1584, by Balthazar Gerards, a Spanish sympathiser. Two bullet holes in the wall of the stairs bear witness to this event.
Overnight in Delft. 

Day 4: Delft – via Katwijk – Leiden (25 miles/40 km)
A tranquil cycle path through the dunes leads you to Wassenaarse Slag. Here some remains of the Atlantikwall can still be seen. Five bunkers are connected by nearly 3,000-feet-long brick tunnels. Now the underground network serves as a bat reserve.

The Atlantikwall was a 1,700 miles' defence line, running from Norway via Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France to the border with Spain. This defence line, which was never completed, consisted of bunkers, canons and mine fields. At some places the bunkers are still there, such as in Zandvoort, Scheveningen, Oostende (Belgium) and Normandy (France).

Further through the dunes, to Katwijk aan Zee, an old fishing village. The old inhabitants of Katwijk still speak their own dialect, 'Kattuks'.

Following the course of the Oude Rijn (Old Rhine) we cycle to Leiden.Leiden originated around 800 AD as a market place at the confluence of the Old and New Rhine rivers, the Vliet River and the Mare (‘Leyten’ means ‘at the waters’). For a long time it was the second city after Amsterdam. It was the centre of the textile industry in medieval times. A well- known episode from the history of Leiden is the siege of 1574 by the Spanish. These were finally driven away after dikes had been broken through and a Watergeuzen (see Rotterdam) fleet had come to help.

The relief of Leiden is still celebrated every year on 3 October. In 1575 Leiden was given the right to establish a university as a reward for the courage shown during the siege. It is also the birthplace of Rembrandt (van Rijn!). Leiden boasts 14 museums, including the Rijksmuseum for Anthropology with many priceless foreign objects, the Municipal Museum (Lakenhal, 1640) including works by Dou, Steen, Rembrandt and Van Goyen, the Rijksmuseum of Antiquities with Egyptian antiquities. The Hortus Botanicus (Botanical Garden), a 400-year-old garden with innumerable exotic plants and trees, is certainly worth seeing. In the centre of town you can go shopping or enjoy sitting on an outdoor terrace on the water’s edge.The ship is moored near the Zijlpoort, a gate that once formed part of the city walls.
Overnight in Leiden. 

Day 5: Leiden, round trip Keukenhof  (public transport)  
Today you visit the Keukenhof gardens, the most beautiful spring park in the world. Keukenhof is the place where the spring breaks. In the Keukenhof various gardens and gardening styles can be found: the English Landscape Garden, the Historical Garden, the Natural Garden, the Japanese Natural Garden, the Formal Garden and three special colours gardens. Spread throughout the entire park there are approximately eighty sculptures from well-known Dutch artists. There are also several other art objects, such as the collection 'Surprising Tulips'.

Overnight in Leiden. 

Day 6: Leiden – Haarlem; possible visit to Frans Hals Museum (23 miles/37 km)
Through the dunes you will cycle to the beach and then to Haarlem.The Haarlemmermeer (Haarlemmer Lake) is a former lake, but nowadays a polder. Schiphol Airport (Schiphol = Ships' Hell!) is situated here, some 13 feet below sea level, which makes it necessary to constantly pump water out to keep a dry soil. The water from the polder is pumped into a circular canal around the polder. From here the water is transported to the sea.

You may want to visit the 'Cruquiusgemaal', Cruquius Pumping Station, one of the three steam-powered pumping stations that drained the Haarlemmermeer between 1849 and 1852. Today it is a museum, giving a clear idea of the Dutch 'battle against the sea'.

Once in the city of Haarlem you make a short tour through the city to see some typical ‘hofjes’ (almshouses), old houses around a central courtyard, now usually housing elderly people. These 'hofjes ' are definitely worth a visit.

Haarlem, which rendered its name to Harlem, New York, is a lively city with good shopping possibilities. At the same time there are many interesting 17th-century sights here. In particular the Grote Markt (Market Square) with the Great or St Bavo's Church (1390-1520) is well-known. Mozart was only one of the many St Bavo's organ players. Other famous attractions are the Frans Hals Museum (with many 17th-century paintings), the Town Hall, the Weigh House and the Vleeshal (Meat Hall, branch of the Frans Hals Museum, also with many 17th-century Dutch masters).

On the river Spaarne the oldest museum of the Netherlands can be found: Teyler's Museum, with drawings by Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael and others.

The ship is berthed in the city centre, with a view of St Bavo's Church and with easy access to the Grote Markt with its many outdoor cafés.

Day 7:Haarlem -Amsterdam (25 miles/40 km) 
In the evening possible vist to Rijksmuseum or Van Gogh Museum or Canal Tour. 

From Haarlem you sail to Spaarndam, a picturesque village on the edge of Haarlem, in the direction of Amsterdam. Spaarndam’s name comes from the dam built in the Spaarne river to limit the danger of flooding from the sea. Here you can find the statue of Hansje Brinker on the IJdijk. Hansje is a character from an American novel, who saved the country from flooding by putting his finger in the dike.

The Buitenhuizen ferry takes you across the North Sea Canal and from there you cycle to the Zaanse Schans.

The Zaanse Schans, with its traditional weatherboard houses, warehouses and windmills may give you the feeling of stepping back into the 17th or 18th century. Yet this is no open air museum, but a lively neighborhood where people live and work. Among other things a cheese farm, a clog maker and an old bakery can be visited here.

More about Holland: Guided

From the famed canals and impressive art collections of Amsterdam and attractions of Rotterdam to the tulip fields carpeting the lush countryside, Holland packs a considerable punch for such a small country. Outside of the large cities, visitors can revisit the Middle Ages through its remaining castles and grand estates. Other highlights of the Dutch countryside include the marshlands, wetlands, and beaches. The walled towns of Holland’s trade and commerce routes are delightful to explore, and the maritime tradition of this coastal land is still seen in its quaint harbor towns.

Dutch tulips are iconic – a symbol of Holland. Mid-March through mid-May transforms the already beautiful countryside into a sea of reds, pinks, purples, and yellows. Another charming symbol of the country, Holland's many windmills are scattered across the landscape and make for postcard-perfect scenery.
