Bike & Cruise boats in The Netherlands

The ships you'll stay on may vary by departure date, but all of them provide twin or double cabin accommodation with private bathrooms, a window/porthole, air-conditioning, and central heating.

The ships provide simple yet comfortable accommodation, full board meals, a lounge/saloon with a bar, a sundeck, and a crew consisting of a skipper, a cook, and a hostess/sailor. Onboard voltage is 220, and limited WiFi access is available. Due to limited cabin space, we suggest bringing one suitcase per person, which can be stored beneath the beds. The maximum group size (depending on the departure date) is 26 persons. Please note that in the Silver category, cabins feature twin or double beds (no bunk beds).
