Holland with Nicols

Join the Nicols base at Kerkdriel in the heart of Holland from where you can discover a vast network of canals and rivers leading you to picturesque towns and villages, adorned with quaint windmills, green meadows and flower fields.  The base is situated just 15km north of Bois le Duc and has two restaurants and a beach: It's the perfect spot from which to begin your trip, whether you choose a loop, return to base or one-way journey.

What will you do?
Cruise in the stunning Biesbosch National Park, and visit Amsterdam, the largest town in Holland, Maastricht, a city known for the origin of the European Union and Gouda, famous for the tasty cheese.

If you are looking to immerse yourselves in nature, head west into the national park.
If you prefer history, head south to visit the towns... Amsterdam has rich architecture and, of course, the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House. 

You could even head to the coast to visit Rotterdam!

Holland, famous for windmills, cheese, tulips, bicycles and canals, offers various cruise routes to suit all interests.
