Anthophiles have another chance to catch Tulip Time on the April 23 departure.

Advisors attending the event include a mix of those who have been before and new-to-the-even who have heard great things about previous years. Advisors TMR spoke with were keen to see the different ships and meet with business development managers from the various lines.

Due to theexpansive growth and interest the event has generated since it was launched in2022, next year’s Expo is expected to sell out quickly.
These cruises depart from Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Trier, and Basel, Switzerland. The newly inaugurated Riverside Debussy will begin her second year of service on April 2 with a 7-night voyage during the prime of tulip-blooming season in the Dutch countryside.
