This 9-day, 8-night trip aboard the deluxe river boat Viva Enjoy includes visits to four UNESCO World Heritage sites — among them the windmills of Kinderdijk and beautiful canals of Amsterdam. Admire the second-largest collection of Vincent van Gogh’s art in the world. Watch hardworking craftspeople create the renowned “Delft Blue” porcelain. And the flowers! Visit Keukenhof, known as the “Garden of Europe” — a breathtaking tapestry of color and fragrance when its more than 1,000 floral varieties reach full bloom in April and May.
