Saga Cruises announced it is offering guests a seven-night all-inclusive cruise of the Dutch waterways aboard the Spirit of the Rhine in 2026, which includes a ticket to watch “The King of Waltz,” André Rieu, perform live.
The 76-year-old violinist has sold more than 40 million CDs and DVDs, and has reportedly performed to over 15 million people globally, the company said.
Since 2017, the company has been offering dedicated André Rieu river cruises, allowing passengers to experience his concerts in the Vrijthof square in Maastricht.
“On our seven-night cruise of the Dutch waterways, you can take in beautiful Dordrecht, with its Grote Kerk straight out of a Dutch painting, and visit the sights of Amsterdam, which may include the Royal Palace on Dam Square, the floating flower market and a trip aboard a glass-topped canal boat (depending on itinerary),” the company said.
“Medieval Utrecht and historical Nijmegen and Roermond are also on the itinerary, before you arrive in Maastricht for the concert, André Rieu and the Johann Strauss orchestra in Vrijthof Square,” Saga added.
The company added that guests who want to experience an extra memorable Christmas in 2026 can experience the theatrical extravaganza of the André Rieu Christmas concert on a five-night, all-inclusive river cruise.
Highlights include taking a walking tour around ancient Roermond, then continuing to Maastricht to explore its cobbled old town and Gothic-style churches.
In the evening, guests will take their seats for André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra performance at the MECC Maastricht.
This cruise also visits Arnhem, best known as the city at the centre of the epic war film A Bridge Too Far.
