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.

Be surprised by the expansive polders and vast natural areas you will encounter along the way.

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.

Along the way, admire the impressive locks and bridges, see how nature and industry blend seamlessly, and perhaps spot some local wildlife.
