Treat yourself to a Spring barge charter

Cruise into Spring !

After the frosty storms of this past winter, there’s nothing like a rejuvenating spring break to blow away the cobwebs. Spring is the time of tulips and a barge cruise is absolutely the best way to discover Holland. Tulips aside, Holland has a rich artistic and cultural history, plus much more.

In this newsletter, we feature barging in Holland. We welcome two barges into the Paradise Connection fold, Adagio and Aurora. We also have information about Holland barge cruises, plus some new special offers and discounts.

Enjoy!
