Farewell to Sacha, our loyal companion

With great sadness, we want to inform you that we recently had to say goodbye to Sacha, our beloved beagle and mascot of Merlijn. For almost 15 years, Sacha was a constant presence in our lives and, for the past 5 years, she traveled with us on every Merlijn journey, becoming a beloved member of our crew.

Her joyful presence and the way she welcomed guests on board will always be cherished. Sacha was more than just a pet; she was a part of the Merlijn family, and her absence leaves a great void.

We want to thank you for the many beautiful moments we were able to share with her.

Vienna to Passau

September 03 - 10 / 2022
Last September, 24 friends from West Michigan biked along the Danube. Each day there was beautiful scenery and our guide, Ilse, was very knowledgeable about the history and interesting places that we visited. The Merlijn was our home for seven nights. The rooms where very comfortable abd had everything you needed. The food was delicious. Each morning there was something different for breakfast and the dinners were top notch. The barge was spotless, everything looked like it had just been painted or cleaned. The owners, Coen and Christina were very attentive to our every need. This was our third trip with the Merlijn and everything just keeps getting better.
