Adventures by Disney continues its dedication to family-oriented travel with the introduction of two new voyages to Holland and Belgium. Commencing in 2025, families will have the opportunity to embark on a captivating river cruise, delving into Dutch heritage, history, and antiquated allure, or partake in an exclusive spring departure to witness the renowned tulip season.

During each Holland and Belgium River Cruise expedition, guests will be enthralled by an array of activities and experiences. These include marveling at the iconic 18th-century windmills of Kinderdijk, canal cruising through venerable neighborhoods, visiting the historic Plantin and Moretus publishing museum dating back to the 1500s, exploring Dutch masterpieces of art and architecture, touring Royal Delft, engaging in pottery activities, cycling through countryside vistas, savoring regional cuisine and beverages, and more. These meticulously curated experiences are crafted to immerse guests in the rich tapestry of the region's history and contemporary influence.

Discovering Holland and Belgium Tour: The traditional Holland and Belgium tour encompasses visits to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, Ghent, Brussels, Antwerp, Kinderdijk, Gouda, and Bruges. Highlighted activities include indulging in the enchanting ambiance and melodies at the Utrecht Museum Speelklok, wandering through the grandeur of Castle de Haar, and discovering Brussels' impact on comic books, chocolate, and other cultural aspects.

For adult travelers, Adventures by Disney offers this itinerary with one adult-exclusive departure.

Embark on the Tulip Tour: The spring tulip sailing accentuates Holland and Belgium's renowned floral splendor and industry. This sailing is scheduled for a single departure in April to capture the magnificence of the blooming season. Historically, tulips have inspired Dutch master artists, and during the 1600s' tulip-mania, bulbs were used as a form of economic currency.

During this itinerary, guests will visit Amsterdam, Hoorn, Middelburg, Ghent, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Kinderdijk, and Schoonhoven. Activities include strolling through Keukenhof's mesmerizing display of 7 million spring-flowering bulbs, exploring Hoorn and its tulip farms, attending the Floralia Flower Show, painting ornamental clog keepsakes, and more.
