Bonus For Solo Cruisers
Nov 4.- Single cruise travellers – who are very often a disenfranchised group in holiday terms – will be keen to know European Waterways have a special deal exclusively for them next April.
Europe’s largest luxury hotel barge cruise operator, is waiving the single supplement aboard its 12-passenger Panache for all of its departures in April 2014, when guests will enjoy Holland during the colourful tulip season. Solo travellers will therefore save $1,800 for the 6-night cruises, with cabins available for departures on April 6, 13, 20 and 27.
Derek Banks, managing director of European Waterways, said: “There is absolutely no reason for solo travellers to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy the unique experience that is hotel barging. Holland is an ideal destination for a cruise in the spring, with the striking colours of the tulip fields displayed at their prime, and guests are sure to spend an excellent week in the company of other like-minded guests seeking relaxation, tranquil scenery, fine dining and great culture.”
Tulips, Tulips Everywhere
For Holland in the Spring, it’s all about the tulips. Among the numerous excursions scheduled during Panache’s April cruises are a visit to the famous Keukenhof Gardens (see video, below) considered among the most beautiful Spring gardens in the world. More than seven million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths bloom for miles around, bursting with dazzling colors and captivating fragrances.
Guests will also visit the town of Gouda, famous for its cheese, and Zaanse Schans, a fascinating, fully inhabited, open-air conservation area and museum located just a few miles north of Amsterdam. A unique attraction, Zaanse Schans offers visitors a vivid impression of the Dutch way of life in the 17th and 18th centuries through tours of authentic houses, a historic shipyard, a cheese and dairy farm, and clog-making demonstrations. Also on the itinerary is a tour of St. Pieterskerk, one of Holland’s oldest churches, dating back to 1315.
