Creator's Key Takeaways
I was shocked by how much there is to do there.
It is spectacular. When you're on your cruise, Amsterdam is obviously one of the places that you're going to go to, but you're going to go to a bunch of other places.
The real highlight of river cruising or small ship cruising is you go to those ports that you're probably not going to go to on a land trip.
We very much encourage you to coordinate your river cruise with the annual flower parade.
