NEW ON THE BLOG: Discover the Splendor of Switzerland. 🏔️
Becky recently had the privilege of embarking on an educational trip to Switzerland, sponsored by one of Nova Vista’s trusted travel partners.
Highlights included an unforgettable chocolate-making workshop at Lindt in Zurich, relaxing in the thermal pools at 7132 Hotel in Vals, and marveling at the stunning mountain views in St. Moritz.

Visiting the windmills of Kinderdijk was an experience I’ll never forget.
@avalonwaterways didn’t disappoint with this UNESCO World Heritage Site consisting of 19 mills, most of which are still inhabited.
The windmill is a Dutch icon and a symbol of their water management mastery. Kinderdijk is a fascinating and beautiful must-do when visiting The Netherlands.
Learn more about my experience sailing the Dutch Waterways in our recent blog post: Just Back From: River Cruising Through the Netherlands & Belgium. Link in bio to read.

One of my favorite experiences from my recent river cruise with @avalonwaterways was our visit to @royaldelft_official where we toured the museum and participated in a painting workshop.
Our amazing tour guide walked us through the history of the company and we also got to go behind the scenes where the pieces are being made.
The hand painting of the pottery is a beautiful process to watch, and I can’t imagine having that job. It would be too nerve wracking for me, because if you make a mistake you have to start all over again! 😱
Luckily our workshop had much less pressure and they gave us plenty of time to create our pieces from stencils and guides that were provided - or you could be really adventurous and design your own art.
I was pretty pleased with how mine turned out, but I don’t think I’ll be going pro anytime soon. 🖌️
If this Active & Discovery experience is available on your Avalon cruise, I would highly recommend it.
