In the latest instalment of our team's travels we hear from our Managing Director, Claire...

Name:

Claire Moore

Where did you go?

Amsterdam for the River Cruise Conference

When did you go? 

March 2024

Which operators did you travel with?

I saw 11 ships, all from different operators.

Top 3 Moments?

1. After all these years in travel, I had never been to Amsterdam and stepping out of Central Station I was blown away by just how pretty the city is.

Whilst there is an adult focus to Amsterdam, it is just so charming too, and I felt completely safe wandering around on my own.

2. The opportunity to see 11 separate ships over 3 days was invaluable. We stayed on a different ship each night and took meals on different ships too, so I was able to experience the varying styles and standards on offer.

3. My suite aboard Riverside Debussy, was out of this world - and felt much more like a luxury hotel than a river cruise ship. The standards of service and dining matched, making for a real top end experience.

A reason to return?

Although I was in Amsterdam for 3 nights, I only had 2 hours to explore, as I was so busy finding out all about the updates in river cruising, so I am keen to head back and explore the city in all its glory.
