Mit nicko cruises Flusskreuzfahrt in die Niederlande Keukenhof Tulpen

A beautiful sea of flowers

6 days | Cologne • Rotterdam • Amsterdam • Cologne

Tulips? Holland! Come and see for yourself: the Keukenhof flower park bursts into a riot of colour every spring. A visit to Amsterdam is naturally also on the itinerary, and it includes a trip on the famous canals, taking you past the city’s traditional town houses. North Holland is famous for its pretty countryside and traditional windmills. Markermeer and IJsselmeer, two large inland waters, are additional highlights of the cruise. Rotterdam with its vast port and the vibrant city of Nijmegen make their own special contributions to this cruise for all of the senses.

Amsterdam city tour with canal cruise
Amsterdam is a city that is as vibrant as it is versatile. Modern lifestyle and the flair of the Golden Age combine to form an incomparable symbiosis. You will find ultra-modern architecture and trendy bars as well as idyllic cafés, flea markets and traditional canal houses. Nowhere else in the world are there so many listed old buildings from past centuries as in the Dutch metropolis. The houses stand so close together as if they had to hold each other up to keep from falling over. The canals give the city a special charm and remind you at every turn that you are in the heart of a seafaring and trading nation. They form a canal system that runs through the entire city area and thus shapes the face of the city. Meanwhile, the multitude of canals extends over a total length of 80 kilometers, which has earned the city the nickname "Venice of the North": 165 canals, 1281 bridges, 70 tour boats, 8 wooden drawbridges, 2,500 residential boats and 120 pedal boats will leave a lasting impression on you. Look forward to a canal cruise along the magnificent merchants' houses from the Golden Age, which will be a highlight of your visit to Amsterdam.

Every spring, Keukenhof is a real feast for the eyes. In this 32-hectare park, tulips, hyacinths, daffodils and other spring bulbs are in full bloom. In a wonderful setting of modern and traditional garden architecture, an overwhelming play of colors awaits you during a walk together.

Nijmegen city tour
Nijmegen city tour

The Hanseatic city of Nijmegen with its 160,000 inhabitants is the oldest city in the Netherlands and looks back on a history of over 2000 years. The city gives you a particularly impressive welcome when you cross the Waal Bridge into the center: the Waalkade and the silhouette of the city center form an impressive unit. Past and present go hand in hand; historical parts alternate with modern architecture. The city, situated on a ridge on the banks of the Waal, has exerted a great attraction on people for centuries. The city tour leads off the beaten track through small winding streets, in which you can still feel the breath of the Middle Ages. Among other things, it passes the Valkhofpark with castle ruins, the town hall, St. Steven's church, the Latin school and the customs house with mosaic wall.
