The sailing season has officially begun!

Spring has arrived, and with it, Merlijn’s 2025 season is in full swing!
In recent weeks, our guests enjoyed the vibrant Holland Tulip Tours, cycling through colorful fields and visiting the famous Keukenhof Gardens. We also explored the northern charm of Friesland and Texel Island, and navigated the historic Hanseatic cities of the East.
Each journey has brought new landscapes, new friendships, and unforgettable memories.
We are excited for all the adventures still to come and we look forward to welcoming many more of you on board in the months ahead!

Never did I imagine how amazing (not even a big enough word) was the experience on our trip. From the moment we stepped on the Merlijn, to the moment we stepped off, everything was exquisite. It is clear everyone who works on the Merlijn has a personal interest in her guests. The vessel itself is a work of art, the meals and care given to us, the same, the biking and leadership to get us through the amazing countryside, towns and other biking ventures so artfully and carefully arranged for us, nothing short of excellent. I almost don\'t want to go again because it might not match this experience - but I will!!! Over half of the people on this trip were return visitors - that says it all. I almost didn\'t write this because I want to make sure I can book another trip without competing with others, but everyone should experience this trip at least once.
