River Life Along the Dutch Waterways | April 8 - 16, 2025

Not only did the Dutch wrest a portion of their land from the sea, but they succeeded in building upon it an enchanted realm carpeted by vibrantly hued flowers and traced with storied waterways unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Come celebrate the beauty of Holland and old-world Flanders in springtime and travel with alumni and friends from April 8 - 16, 2025, on this comprehensive itinerary.
