I took one from there. It is tulip time now, I believe. River cruises can be taken throughout much of Europe and I have taken Danube, Rhine and others. The boats dock right in the center of the towns and much can be seen within walking distance. Also it does not take forever to board and get off the vessel as you have 100+ passengers rather than 1,000+; no tenders needed to get to and from shore either. One of the best I took was from Moscow to St. Petersburg. Also a Nile cruise is a great way to visit the Sphinx, pyramids, Valley of the Kings and other sites along the river in Egypt.
