Maas River Cruises - culture and nature
The Maas River Cruise blends natural spectacle with urban cultural heritage. The homely river boats offer the high levels of comfort and service needed to provide the perfect finishing touch to a Maas River Cruise.
The Maas River Cruise - where it takes place and when to go
The Maas rises on the French Plateau de Langres and discharges after a journey of some 925 kilometres through France, Belgium and the Netherlands into the Dutch tributary "Hollands Diep". The best time for a Maas River Cruise is in the months of April to September.
Maas River Cruises - cities and tourist attractions
Maastricht, the oldest city in the Netherlands, is often on the programme of a Maas cruise. Highlights include the Vrijthof, St Servatius Basilica and the Bonnefantenmuseum. Travellers should definitely discover this cosy city, which even owes its name to the Meuse.
Passengers can often also discover the historic and green city of Venlo on a Meuse cruise. On the Maasboulevard along the river, visitors will find many shops, restaurants and terraces. Just outside the city, in Arcen, cruisers will find the Kasteeltuinen van Arcen, an area with many gardens surrounding a historic castle.
In Belgium, travellers will find Liège, a city with an industrial history and a vibrant culture. The Liège-Guillemins railway station, the Palace of the Prince-Bishops and the Museum of Walloon Art are highlights that visitors should not miss.
The Maas River Cruise - a voyage of many faces
The Maas River Cruise will show you the most varied faces of the Low Countries: flowering fields and verdant pastureland alongside historic cultural monuments.
