Agriculture
We will spend 2 nights in Almere before our cruise, making some fascinating agricultural visits including an excellent dairy farm run by family de Keijzer, a fascinating Flower Auction, a rose grower and a horticultural museum.
In a region like this the scenery is shaped by agriculture in many ways and during our cruise we will find many opportunities to explore and appreciate the various agricultural concerns along our route.
Our Cruise
A springtime adventure cruising the scenic waterways of Holland & Belgium. We'll pass charming windmills, blooming tulips, and quaint towns coming to life after winter. The medieval charm of Ghent, Antwerp, and Bruges. Dive into Dutch and Flemish art, savour tasty cheeses, and indulge in Belgian chocolates. Our cruise features Keukenhof gardens, a massive burst of spring magic with its vibrant flowers. The Tulip Serenade Cruise is a sensory delight blending nature, history, and culture in one unforgettable journey.
Thank you to all of the Bay Farm Tours team for a fantastic Rhine & Moselle River Cruise. We loved being with such great likeminded people. The trips before and after the cruise were excellent. It was so good we have booked another River Cruise with Bay Farm Tours for next year. We hope to see you there.
