When it’s Spring again we’ll sing again tulips from Noordwijk to Haarlem.
Because while we rightly celebrate the awesome city of Amsterdam we should also get out and enjoy the rural bulb fields.
Which we first did 35 years ago at the riot of colour that is the flower market in the Dutch capital Den Haag.
Of course, the biggest market of all is the natural landscape of the Netherlands.
Hop on Le Boat
And what better way of savouring it than in a self-driven boat along the iconic Dutch canals?
Particularly when Le Boat is offering up £650 off any departure in 2025.
Valid on any boat except the new Liberty fleet, when booked between 26 February and 18 March 2025.
April marks the start of the boating season when the tulip comes into bloom with the centrepiece the Dutch Flower Parade.
Grand Classique
Gliding along the Dutch canals you’ll take in windmills and waterside villages.

With no experience needed, Le Boat’s self-drive cruisers can go at their own pace.
Le Boat encourages us to stop at traditional markets and soak up Dutch Easter traditions.
A seven-night self-catered stay in the Netherlands starts and finishes at Le Boat’s base in Vinkeeven.
On board a Grand Classique sleeping 10, arriving April 7, priced from £249pp/£2,049 per boat.
Which was £1,429, a saving of £2,699.
