Tip-Toe Through the Tulips of Europe

Are you ready to travel to Europe? Have you been thinking of taking a river cruise? Do you love gardening and the beauty of colorful tulips? Do you have a passion for quilting? If you answered yes to any, or all of these questions, we have the trip for you! Classy Ladies Getaways (& Couples Too!) is embarking on an all-inclusive Emerald Waterways Netherlands River Cruise, April 5, 2018. Join your host, C.P. Trips, Inc. President and Owner, Cindy Passannante for a very special and exciting river cruise surrounded by the picturesque beauty of Belgium and the Netherlands.

A limited number of cruise staterooms have been reserved on board the Emerald Sky river cruise ship. As a part of this unique Classy Ladies Getaways (& Couples Too!) adventure, you will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the vibrant tulips of the Netherlands, which will be in spectacular bloom during the cruise. Get your own perspective with photos of these flowers, which were once worth more than gold itself. Quilting buffs will have the chance to design their own “Tulip Square” to incorporate into a quilt of their own. Painters will be inspired to put brush to canvas and paint the tulips of the Netherlands. You can also extend your European vacation with three days in Paris after your cruise.

River cruising itself is on the rise in Europe. This is quickly becoming a favored way to tour the old country in style. Like their large ship cousins, river cruises allow you to unpack once and enjoy several destinations on one vacation. Unlike the larger ships however, a river cruise can take you to smaller ports, deeper within the countries of Europe, allowing you the chance to really experience the essence of these locations.

Emerald Waterways is at the top when it comes to high-quality river cruising. This award-winning cruise line offers the finest in cruising, with all-inclusive amenities on and off-board the ships. When they say all-inclusive, they mean, all-inclusive. Not only are meals and drinks provided on the ship, but gratuities are covered as well. Don’t worry about transportation, transfer to and from the ship are also included as are on-shore excursions.  Emerald Waterways caters to an active lifestyle as well, with heated swimming pools, on-board bicycles, a walking track and so much more.
