Springtime at Keukenhof with Tauck River Cruises

Known as the Garden of Europe, springtime at Keukenhof with Tauck river cruises offers one of the most spectacular displays of floral beauty in the world. During our recent journey through the Netherlands with Tauck, Carol and I had the pleasure of spending a vibrant morning wandering through this legendary floral wonderland.

A Sea of Color Across 79 Acres

With over seven million flower bulbs planted annually, Keukenhof bursts into bloom for just eight short weeks each spring. As we entered the park, we were immediately struck by sweeping carpets of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, and other spring blooms in dazzling arrangements. The fragrance in the air was enchanting, and every turn offered a new visual delight.

Nature Meets Artistry

Keukenhof isn’t just a garden—it’s an expression of Dutch artistry and horticultural precision. Alongside the traditional rows of tulips were modern floral sculptures, themed pavilions, and quiet, tree-lined walking paths. Each section of the garden is carefully curated to reflect both natural beauty and innovative design.

More Than Just Tulips

While tulips are the undeniable stars of Keukenhof, we also admired orchids, amaryllis, and even rare varieties from Dutch breeders. One of the highlights was the Windmill Pavilion, where we climbed up for panoramic views of the adjacent tulip fields stretching toward the horizon—a truly unforgettable sight.
