Booking for our Singing & Tulips Choral Cruise is now open via the booking link below, together with comprehensive information about travel to Amsterdam, the boat, the excursions and the terms and conditions. 

TRBC’s Singing & Tulips Choral Cruise offers an exclusive sailing on the Amadeus Brilliant, starting and finishing in Amsterdam and meandering through tranquil Dutch waterways. Optional excursions take us to Arnhem, Middleburg and Rotterdam, straying into Belgium to visit Ghent and Antwerp. There are so many sights to see that we can’t list them all here, but the highlight for many will be the excursion to Keukenhof. These gardens are famous for their fields of colourful tulips set against a background of windmills. And in between delicious meals and cultural excursions there is, of course, singing!

Music and conductor
We welcome back conductor Sam Evans as music director of this choral cruise. Singing with Sam ensures choral sessions which are entertaining as well as instructive. For our main volume of music we return to The New Novello Part-Song Book with a different selection of titles. We will also curate our own choral cruise booklet, supplied at no extra charge. Maria Marchant will be our pianist, and the singing schedule will fit around the shore excursions. More information via the music link below.

A TRBC Choral Cruise offers the most relaxing singing holiday imaginable. You could also be really energetic and sign up for all the optional excursions. Either way – come and join us! 

‘Sing Beethoven in the Baltics’ is the theme for our autumn singing holiday in 2026. We have chosen to visit Tallinn, one of Europe’s most musically vibrant cities. Our Beethoven programme comprises two choral works: the lovely Choral Fantasia and the Mass in C. Gavin Carr will be our conductor, and the piano soloist in the Fantasia is Maria Marchant, well known to all participants in our choral cruises.

Our performance on Tuesday 13 October will be in Tallinn’s magnificent art nouveau concert hall with the professional players of the Nordiclight Orchestra. A grand piano on the stage will limit the number of singing places available, so don’t leave it too late to book!

There will – of course – be opportunities for sight-seeing and we also offer an extra day’s exploration of Tallinn (until 15 October) or a two-day extension enabling you to spend a full day exploring Helsinki (return flights on 16 October).
