Treasures of Holland featuring Floriade & Keukenhof

Travel by Overnight Ferry

Held every ten years at a different venue in The Netherlands, Floriade is one of the premier events of the horticultural world. In 2022 the spotlight falls on Almere, near Amsterdam, where a purpose built site has been created to provide a ‘living laboratory’ with inspirational and innovative exhibitions by countries, cities and businesses. There will also be a host of impressive attractions, heaps of art and culture and a unique collection of trees, shrubs and flowers. The theme of this, the seventh iteration of the event, is ‘Growing Green Cities’. With the world’s urban population expanding to 70%, cities will have to find creative, green and sustainable solutions to remain safe, healthy and attractive and these proposed solutions will be central to the exhibits at the 2022 Expo.

Our tour also includes visits to some of the great horticultural and artistic treasures of The Netherlands, such as the beautiful garden of De Wiersse, spectacular Het Loo Palace and a visit to Keukenhof, one of Europe’s most spectacular gardens.
