HEIDELBERG, one of the finest river ships in Europe. On this exclusive Village Life itinerary, cruise past centuries-old windmills and charming canal-lined villages as Holland's tulips burst into full spring bloom. Discover picturesque old Dutch towns like Gouda, Middelburg and Delft; explore the exceptionally well-preserved medieval Flemish cities of Bruges and Antwerp; and visit Holland's most famous windmills at Kinderdijk. Also included is a visit to the restored home of the great Flemish Master, Peter Paul Rubens, a private canal cruise in Amsterdam, and a tour of the extraordinary gardens of Keukenhof, where millions of tulips, daffodils and other flowers bloom each spring.
