One Bloomin’ Good Sail To Holland

 
Holland’s once-in-a-decade horticultural display – Floriade Expo 2022 - begins in six months and luxury all-inclusive river cruise line, Scenic, are set to take you there.

Featuring an encyclopaedic array of exotic plants, innovative architecture and intriguing infrastructure from across the globe – cruisers, nature lovers and sustainability enthusiasts alike, can choose to experience the latest circular infrastructure essential for tomorrow’s green cities as they stroll the expansive arboretum, sample health-promoting foods and take in the stunning bird’s-eye view as they soar over the exhibition in a 850-metre cable car.

And Scenic is offering guests the opportunity to visit the iconic event on its eight-day Dutch sights and Belgian delights itinerary. Sailing a return journey from Amsterdam, guests will also enjoy a guided tour through the architectural capital of the Netherlands, Rotterdam, before visiting a local oyster farm for a tour and tasting and an exploration of the diamond-filled streets of Antwerp.

Set within the 17th century Dutch reformed church of Oosterkerk, guests will be treated to a special choir performance – an exclusive experience for guests travelling with Scenic.

Prices for the eight-day river cruise, including Floriade Expo, start from £2,195 per person based on 11 May 2022 departure on board Scenic Ruby. Alternatively, guests can add a visit to the expo to the beginning or end of selected European river cruises, including the 15-day Jewels of Europe itinerary.

Guests booking before 15 October 2021 will save up to £1,600 per couple, while also benefiting from complimentary private chauffeur-driven transfers.
