Always in motion: constantly changing landscapes

At Merlijn, every journey is an adventure in itself, thanks to the ever-changing landscape and the unique variety along the way. We would like to share two special highlights from this past spring with you: our new routes in the Netherlands!

The Hanseatic Route
Although this route is not entirely new, it had been five years since we last offered it. On this journey, we sailed through the east of the Netherlands, a region rich in history and culture. From the charming Hanseatic cities to the beautiful nature surrounding us on the way—it was a true journey through time, full of stories from the past. You can enjoy this wonderful journey in 2025 as well.

The Holland Texel Island Route
A completely new addition to our program was the "Holland Texel Island Route". This route let us discover the magic of the Northwest of the Netherlands. From lively Holland to serene Friesland and the unique island of Texel, it was a refreshing adventure that showed a completely different side of the Netherlands. As small as the country is, this route felt like a whole new experience, and with so much enthusiasm from our guests, it will definitely remain part of our program. Discover more about this journey.

Cologne to Saarburg

July 16 - 23 / 2022
The trip was perfect: well organized and beautiful scenery. Easy biking mostly along paths instead of city streets. Delicious gourmet dinners on the Merlijn. Comfortable beds, pretty ship with bouquets of flowers. Lia, the biking tour guide was amazing; informative, flexible, fun, and strong! I was proud that I could do all the biking with the trusty e-bike!
