TULIPS AND CHOCOLATE RIVER CRUISE

March 16 – 23, 2023

 

TULIPS & CHOCOLATE 2023

Calling all fellow #travelholics!
Spring is in the air with fresh blooming tulips and hands-on chocolate classes!

Come with me on this one of a kind chocolate tour!

Highlights

This trip encompasses three of my favorite things. Any guesses what they are?

Tulips are my favorite flowers. Chocolate…because of course we’re doing a chocolate tour, and Brugge…a town with 50+ amazing chocolate shops!

On my first Europe Solo Trip, I stayed in Brugge for a few nights. After the frantic run around of trying to find my purse that I’d left behind at train station – I managed to soothe my nerves with the most delicious chocolate ever!

I can’t wait to share this town and this trip with you!

On our Tulips and Chocolate River Cruise, we’ll be sailing down the Dutch and Belgian waterways via AmaMora AMAWaterways Cruise ship.

 

“Celebrate spring in the Netherlands and Belgium when the Keukenhof Gardens and Floralia come alive. Experience Amsterdam’s colorful canals, the whimsical Kinderdijk windmills and the art of Rubens and Michelangelo. Discover the timeless traditions of Delft porcelain and revel in the medieval architectural treasures of Bruges, Middelburg and Ghent. Throughout your journey indulge in Belgian chocolates, warm waffles and delicious cheeses—all while savoring the storybook atmosphere of the region.”
