Hays Area Chamber of Commerce

How does sipping wine with new friends, strolling through quaint cities, enjoying fine museums, seeing fields of tulips and enjoying medieval charm sound? If this is something that intrigues you, join Hays Area Chamber of Commerce Director Tammy Wellbrock and her husband, Gerard Wellbrock, for the Tulip Time River Cruise in March and April.

This is not your typical cruise — explore six cities in eight days while cruising the many rivers of Belgium and Holland on a Viking River Cruise. The “MS Adameus Elegant” is a five-star river boat that could be your home for seven luxurious nights.

This lavish river ride will take you through the cities of Amsterdam, Arnhem, Middelburg, Ghent, Antwerp and Kinderdijk/ Utrecht. Passengers also have the option of extending your trip into Paris for an additional two days.

Each port allows passengers to stroll through cities and sightsee while enjoying the nightlife, cuisine and culture of each city. The cost of the river cruise starts at $4,399 per person, with additional costs for balcony rooms, suites, optional tours and the Paris extension.

The “MS Adameus Elegant” is a deluxe river boat that has delicious cuisine and delightful wines, a lounge bar and relaxation sundeck. Enjoy the gorgeous views and cultural sights from your room — all cabins face the exterior and most have French-style balconies.

If this Tulip Time River Cruise interests you, book your spot today or plan to attend the Informational Preview at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 21 at Golden Griddle, 230 W. Ninth.
