These photos of Amsterdam's tulips will make you want to visit next spring
It's never too early to browse holiday ideas for the following year and if you're looking for the perfect trip to look forward to in 2025, a mini-cruise around Amsterdam in spring could be the escape for you.
Spring is arguably the best time to visit Amsterdam, when the tulips are in full bloom and you can discover the symbol of Holland on a delightful Amsterdam mini-cruise.
It's the season to visit world-famous garden Keukenhof, in nearby Lisse, where a sea of colourful tulips take over the garden for just a few weeks each year. More than seven million bulbs are planted here each year across 80 acres, including a stunning 800 varieties of tulip. It's a truly magnificent sight when they burst into kaleidoscopic bloom,
During an Amsterdam mini-cruise in spring, you can visit the city's flower market, housed on a series of boats and offering a floating floral paradise in the city. You can also pick up tulip bulbs, which you can plant in the autumn ready for a beautiful display in spring.
An Amsterdam mini-cruise offers an excellent opportunity to take in the colourful tulips and see Holland in all its glory, as you go beyond Amsterdam to other parts of the country by boat. Rotterdam and Kinderdijk are superb places to visit in the Netherlands and perfect for enjoying during an Amsterdam mini-cruise.
You can visit Rotterdam on another special Dutch cruise with Prima next year, where you'll be joined by TV gardener Charlie Dimmock, who'll give an exclusive talk and Q&A, and TV bartender Merlin Griffiths, who'll host a lively cocktail masterclass. This seven-night cruise also includes a visit to the fabulous Keukenhof Gardens.
To inspire you to choose an Amsterdam mini-cruise for your first holiday in 2025, we've rounded up the most gorgeous photos of the city's tulips in spring...
