Experience Europe’s Low Lands in your own way, with Avalon Waterways’ option-packed Active & Discovery in Holland & Belgium itinerary.

Avalon Waterways’ Active & Discovery cruises have grown more and more popular each season and 2021 will see a new itinerary introduced on the waterways of Holland & Belgium, meaning there is one of these cruises on each of the main rivers of Europe. The company is seeing the average age of its passengers drop, become more active and health concious so the company is making sure this is reflected in its product range and excursion options, offering more active and engaging choices. As well as the company’s Active & Discovery cruises, there is an adventure host on every European river cruise sailing, who hosts yoga on board, can recommend walking and cycling trails at every stop, hires out bicycles and accompanies the group on Active excursions. On the eight-day Active & Discovery in Holland & Belgium itinerary, travellers can choose to embrace the history of the

Netherlands and Belgium, discover the region’s culture, art and innovation, or get active with guided walks and cycles – why not mix it up and try a little bit of everything?

The eight-day cruise gives guests an opportunity to take in the Dutch trading port of Middelburg, before sailing on to the Belgian cities of Ghent, Brussels and Antwerp, and back to Dutch waters stopping at Rotterdam and finally returning to Amsterdam. Here’s a little sample of what a passenger’s experience might be like, depending on what choices they make each day.
