Barge holidays from our Holland base at Loosdrecht
 You'll
see the warmth and "joie de vivre" of the Dutch
in the cafes, on the welcoming terraces along the water's
edge, and in the shops which nestle amongst the cellars of
the old houses of Utrecht or of Amsterdam. In Holland you
travel through the landscapes of its famous painters, from
the emphatic tones of Vermeer to the gentler touch of other
Old Masters.
You can moor in the centre of Amsterdam and cruise its canals
(permit purchase needed) and similarly in Utrecht. At Gouda
the marina is in the centre of the old town.
 After
crossing the great "broad" of Loosdrecht, dotted
with untouched islands, you will follow the course of the
river Vecht and pass through the two great art centres of
Amsterdam and Utrecht. Further north, near Edam, you cross
the Zaan country, full of windmills and rich in wildlife.
To the south your cruise unfolds through the timeless Dutch
countryside. lifting bridges, dykes, and that magic light
of dawn which will tempt you into rising early.
