Netherlands: Green Heart of Holland – Guided

Flora

The Flora is a cozy and comfortable passenger barge for around 22 people. 10 Cabins have two single beds and one cabin has a double bed, all with the necessary facilities and enough space to store your belongings. In 2 of the cabins there is a foldaway bed for children up to 12 available on request. The nostalgically furnished salon has a bar, a nice living room and restaurant section where you will be served tasty food. Enjoy the scenery on the sundeck while cruising or when the Flora is moored in one of the picturesque harbors.
