Journey along the Rhine and other picturesque waterways of Holland and Belgium, where centuries of rich culture, art and history come to life amidst vibrant tulip fields, iconic windmills and fairytale towns. Travel down Amsterdam’s scenic canals, call on historic cities such as Antwerp and Delft, and take in the serene Dutch countryside while delving into the region’s defining artistic legacy, deep-rooted Jewish history and culinary delights.

Itinerary highlights include:

Spring-time strolls through more than seven million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths at Keukenhof, known as the “Garden of Europe”
Witnessing the works of masters like Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Rubens, Vermeer and more with exclusive, after-hours tours at the Kröller-Müller and Mauritshuis Museums
Indulging in incredible culinary experiences throughout the voyage, from a progressive food tour of Belgian specialties in Antwerp to curated dinners onboard featuring local flavours

Each voyage will be staffed by one of the brand’s veteran Expedition Leaders, several knowledgeable Field Staff, and at least one National Geographic Expert. Field Staff will guide guests on private tours, exclusive tastings, and expertly curated experiences synonymous with the co-brand.

For more than 50 years, Lindblad Expeditions has explored some of the most iconic waterways—including the Peruvian Amazon, the Nile in Egypt, and the Columbia and Snake Rivers in the United States’ Pacific Northwest. However, this launch will mark a historic first for the company, which has never offered river expeditions in Europe before.

The chartering of the brand-new river long-ship Connect also marks a notable expansion of Lindblad Expeditions’ expedition cruise portfolio; with this addition, the Lindblad Expeditions fleet now consists of 23 owned and chartered mission-built expedition ships that it operates on behalf of the National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions co-brand.
