An exclusive bike & boat tour through Holland aboard the Magnifique X

Experience the Netherlands in bloom on this deluxe 9-day bike and boat journey, combining scenic cycling, rich Dutch heritage, and the exceptional comfort of the Magnifique X. Designed for travelers who appreciate active vacations as much as refined relaxation, this springtime tour brings together flower-filled landscapes, historic towns, and classic waterside scenery in one beautifully paced itinerary.

Your journey begins with a comfortable arrival in Amsterdam, where you’ll enjoy an overnight hotel stay before boarding the ship. From there, each day reveals a different side of Holland in the spring: the windmills of Zaanse Schans, the timeless charm of Alkmaar and Haarlem, the world-famous Keukenhof gardens, and quieter, more exclusive places such as Hortus Bulborum, where rare and historic flower bulbs are preserved, far from the usual crowds. Along the way, you’ll cycle at a relaxed pace, with several days offering a choice of shorter or longer routes.

Back on board, the Magnifique X welcomes you with the warmth and elegance of a floating boutique hotel. With its intimate atmosphere, stylish suites, and attentive service, it is the perfect setting in which to unwind after a day outdoors. This is springtime in the Netherlands at its most comfortable, colorful, and memorable.

Discover Holland in bloom

This tour is an immersion into Dutch springtime at its best and, at times, most unexpectedly refined. Cycle through landscapes shaped by water, tradition, and centuries of craftsmanship. Pass windmills still operating in the Zaan region, follow quiet roads through the dune reserve of North Holland, and ride past ever-changing flower fields in Europe’s most celebrated bulb-growing region.

Along the way, experience not only world-famous highlights, but also places that are less known and feel more personal.

This tour has a carefully balanced rhythm of cycling, cruising, sightseeing, and time to relax. It is designed to feel active, but never rushed. An important part of that comfort is the support van, which accompanies the cycling program. Along the way, it serves picnic lunches and refreshments in on selected days, adding an extra layer of ease and care to the journey. It also offers flexibility for guests who prefer not to complete the full cycling route on a given day. That means you can enjoy each ride with more peace of mind, knowing that extra support is always nearby. Together, these thoughtful details make this a refined and deeply enjoyable way to experience the Netherlands in the spring.
