Flower Power at Keukenhof

Keukenhof
Gardens connects people from all across the globe who come to indulge
in and be inspired by the natural beauty of Holland, which is famous for
its bulb fields and wide variety of flowers. Flower Power has that late
60’s, early 70’s vibe of bright colors, hippie fashion, peace &
music; expect to see outdoor concerts, new art & sculptures and even
whisper boats (electronic vessels that traverse the waterways of
Keukenhof).

Your Day at Keukenhof

Aboard
a Hotel Barge Cruise through Holland, in the morning guests enjoy a
spectacular breakfast before cruising to the historic city of Haarlem;
once a major trading port, Haarlem is an exciting maze of cobbled
streets and gabled houses at the center of a major bulb growing
district.

After lunch on board the barge, its off to
Keukenhof (The Garden of Europe) to stroll through its 100 acres in the
midst of some 7 million bulbs! Once you’ve had your fair share of the
colors, scents, & sculptures on offer at the gardens it’s back
to the Hotel Barge Panache for a cocktail, canapé and wardrobe change…

affair at a Dutch restaurant in historic Haarlem, where you can bask in
