If you dream of windmill-dotted canals laced with flat bike paths, landscapes out of a Vermeer painting, and serenely drifting on your own canal barge, look no farther.
For seven nights, our private barge delivers us to remote corners of the Netherlands that are best explored by bike. We’ll pedal into old fishing villages … medieval Hanze cities … and the undiscovered soul of Holland. For real Dutch treats, we’ll savor a traditional pancake lunch with locals and share a picnic hosted by a local couple. Our barge, The Iris, affords us every comfort – including special meals prepared by our very own onboard chef.
