Cruise
Slideshow offer placeholder
Experience historic maritime cities, where innovation meets the traditions of the past, and take in the authenticity of iconic windmills and the floral masterpiece of the colourful Dutch bulb fields. The bulbfields really are an amazing sight. In Keukenhof Park, a staggering 7 million blooms cover 80 acres in a riot of colour whilst imaginative landscaping shows off mother nature at her outstanding best with shimmering lakes, water gardens and flowering shrubs of every hue during spring. You will also explore the Ijsselmeer, the inland lagoon created by the damming of the Zuider Zee in the 1930s and discover one of the beautiful villages along its shore which have made their living from the sea for centuries. It was from here, during the 16th century Golden Age, that the Dutch roamed the world in search of the spices, silks and luxury goods Europe’s aristocracy craved. Today, little has changed. With so much of the Netherlands reclaimed from the sea, we'll learn about the importance of the iconic windmills at Kinderdijk. Add to this a visit to Amsterdam - one of Europe’s most vibrant and fascinating cities - and Rotterdam, situated where the Rhine flows into the North Sea, and wonderful few days are in store. This river cruise is the perfect way the see the wonders of the Netherlands for travellers who love horticulture, history and old harbour towns.

Highlights:
Enjoy two culture-filled guided tours including iconic Kinderdijk and the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen that recreates the 19th-century heritage of Hollands inland bay.; Marvel at the spectacular Keukenhof, the world's largest flower garden covering nearly eighty acres.; See the highlights of innovative Rotterdam on a guided walk taking in the cube houses and maritime museum.; Visit Amsterdam for free time to explore as you wish.

About MS George Eliot

Ship Overview
MS George Eliot

The five-star MS George Eliot – named after one of the leading English novelists of the 19th century – is 360 feet of fine Swiss engineering and craftsmanship. As with all Riviera River Cruise cruise ships, MS George Eliot was built to the highest specifications and strict safety regulations by Scylla AG, world-renowned builders of the most modern cruisers in Europe.

Guests are welcomed in the elegant lobby with its gleaming marble floor, well-lit by sophisticated lighting. Thoughtful design is on tasteful display throughout the ship – sustainable hardwood furniture, intricate wrought-iron work, and polished copper and brass are beautifully complemented by soft leather and sumptuous Italian fabrics.

MS George Eliot offers the convivial ambience and personal service of a luxury boutique hotel. With 36 staff serving just 132 guests, the experience is far more intimate and enjoyable.

There are 70 luxuriously appointed suites and cabins, which all feature an en-suite bathroom with shower, individually controlled air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, hairdryer, safe, mini fridge, telephone and facilities for making tea and coffee. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship.
