Learn about this vast network of dams, storm surge barriers and sluices, built over more than 30 years to protect the Netherlands from flooding after the devastating North Sea Flood of 1953. It remains one of the largest flood-protection systems ever constructed and is recognised as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

Canal Cruise in Amsterdam
Board a glass-top boat and glide through Amsterdam’s maze of waterways with a local guide, before enjoying some free time.
The Hague Excursion
Embark on a guided tour of The Hague, the elegant political heart of the Netherlands. See the Binnenhof and Buitenhof, home to the House of Representatives, and admire the iconic Peace Palace, seat of the International Court of Justice, as you stroll past grand avenues, leafy squares and stately historic buildings.
Kinderdijk Windmills
Experience the iconic windmills of Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most picturesque landscapes in the Netherlands.
