More Trip Details: "Says You!": Tulip Time in Holland and Belgium

Savor Tulip Time in Holland and Belgium with "Says You".
Join "Says You!" creator/producer Richard Sher for A Springtime Cruise.
April 17-25, 2010. (9 nights / 7 days)
Produced for "Says You!" by Cross-Culture Journeys

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe the colorful palettes of springtime in Holland and Belgium. The fields of the “Low Countries” are carpeted in tulips, and spring flowers line the waterways. Learn about Dutch and Flemish cultural traditions, and taste world-famous cheeses, pastries and chocolates. Discover vibrant Amsterdam and visit Belgium’s great medieval cities of Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges.

Your home is the brand new MS Amadolce, launched earlier this year. It’s a river cruise ship small enough to stop at villages along the canals, yet large enough to offer deluxe accommodations and fine international cuisine. The ship has an abundant supply of bicycles for those who wish to ride along the canals. On two evenings, you’re invited to test your own verbal agility by playing some of the "Says You!" word games with Richard Sher.
