A more active way to travel between Amsterdam and Paris
This ten-day itinerary pairs guided cycling with a small all-suite river ship, plus hotel nights in Amsterdam and Paris. The route moves through the Netherlands and Belgium before continuing into France, with stops including Kinderdijk, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges.
This is the more comfortable end of bike-and-boat travel. Daily rides are designed for easier terrain, e-bikes are available, and a support van travels with the group. I like it for travelers who want an active trip but still want a polished ship, private suite and a strong level of support.
What the trip includes
- One hotel night in Amsterdam and one in Paris
- Seven nights aboard an all-suite small river ship
- Guided cycling with multiple tour leaders and support van
- Breakfast daily, selected lunches and dinners
- Airport transfers at Amsterdam Schiphol and Paris Charles de Gaulle
- Selected canal cruises, museum or cathedral visits and onboard programming
Exact departure pricing changes through the season. I’ll verify the current cabin, bike choice and departure before booking.
