Scenic has included a full day for exploring the 2022 Floriade Horticulture Expo, a once-a-decade event, on five of its cruise itineraries for 2022. One of Europe’s largest horticulture events, this year’s expo has theme of a sustainable future.
Running from April 14 to October 9, the seventh International Horticultural Exhibition Floriade Expo will take place in Almere, about 30 minutes from Amsterdam. Scenic guests will have a full day to explore the many attractions, gardens and exhibitions—where a celebration of green and sustainable technology will be the focus. New technologies for greenery, food, energy and health will be shown off at this living laboratory and will contribute to Floriade’s four sub-themes: Greening the City, Feeding the City, Healthying the City and Energizing the City. Lectures will be mixed with an array of attractions. Green bridges and a cable car will provide some of the modes of transport while live music and a range of dining options will also be on offer.
The five itineraries that include Floriade are the “Eight-day Windmills, Tulips & Belgian Delights with Floriade,” “10-day Rhine Highlights with Flourishing Floriade,” “14-day Windmills Tulips & Belgian Delights with Floriade, Bruges & London,” “17-day Romantic Rhine & Moselle with Flourishing Floriade,” and the “17-day Jewels of Europe with Flourishing Floriade.”
Highlights vary by itinerary but many include touring Delft and taking in the town’s world famous Delft Blue Pottery, joining a cycling tour of the village of Veere, visit an oyster farm for a tour and tasting, following in the footsteps of the British parachutists who made their way across dangerous terrain to Arnhem in September 1944 at the Arnhem Airborne Experience, learning to cook traditional apple pies from a local family, and enjoy a Scenic Enrich experience (exclusive to Scenic event) as guests are treated to a choir performance in the 17th-century Dutch reformed church of Oosterkerk.
