Counting down to Keukenhof! 🌷✨

Though we have to wait until March for Keukenhof’s tulips to bloom, we’re already marking the date!

Until then, we’re obsessing over these gorgeous shots from last spring, captured by Charlotte from HQ, who had a wonderful time exploring with guests Gillian and Alan.

Our luxury river cruises to the Netherlands set sail again in March.
