Delta Works: Discover a modern wonder of the world
Discover the Delta Works, a remarkable showcase of Dutch ingenuity. During this cruise, you’ll sail past several key elements of this world-famous water management system — including flood barriers, locks, and dams — that help protect the Netherlands from the sea. While we don’t visit every part of the Delta Works (some are located farther away), this route offers a unique and up-close impression of this groundbreaking Dutch innovation. The Delta Works are a symbol of resilience, engineering excellence, and absolutely worth experiencing.
Breathtaking landscapes in South Holland
The South Holland delta has so much more to offer than just the Delta Works. During this cruise you will be treated to a beautiful and varied landscape. Admire the impressive Rotterdam ports and industrial areas, explore from the water the charming fortified towns of Hellevoetsluis and Willemstad, and enjoy the historic city of Dordrecht. Be surprised by the expansive polders and vast natural areas you will encounter along the way.
Explore the 7 Delta Rivers of South Holland
During this 135-kilometer cruise, you will sail on several beautiful South Holland rivers: the Nieuwe Maas, Oude Maas, the Spui, Hollands Diep, Dordtse Kil, the Noord, and the dammed up estuary the Haringvliet. Enjoy the ever-changing views of the water and the beautiful shores while you completely unwind. Along the way, admire the impressive locks and bridges, see how nature and industry blend seamlessly, and perhaps spot some local wildlife. This is the perfect day trip for anyone who enjoys relaxed cruising and wants to experience Zuid-Holland in a unique way.
