The tulips and other bulb flowers are spectacular, and the traditional
Dutch windmills and quaint villages are fascinating and picturesque.
The best place to see a variety of spring bulb flowers in Holland is at
Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam.
I've enjoyed two spring "tulip cruises" on European river vessels. I sailed
on a Tulip Time cruise in the Netherlands and Belgium, sailing on the beautiful
AMAWaterways Amalegro river ship. I also sailed a Dutch journey on the
Viking Europe way back in 2002, the date of the last Floriade, a huge
horticultural show held once every decade in the Netherlands. (Can't believe
it's been TEN years!)
On both tulip cruises, we spent a day at
Keukenhof, which really gets you in the
mood for spring!

Viking River Cruises, many other river
cruise lines feature springtime tulip
cruises, including Avalon Waterways,
Grand Circle, Tauck, and Uniworld.
