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!

Nancy/Frouard to Koblenz

October 23 - 30 / 2021
My husband I just enjoyed a great week on board the Merlijn. We traveled along the Saar and Moselle rivers, seeing Germany, Luxembourg and France in a \"golden\" time of the year as the leaves were changing. We biked each day in the beautiful countryside and enjoyed many informative city tours along the way. Coen and Cristina were wonderful hosts, along with their staff. Cristina cooked us a delicious breakfast and 3 course dinner each day, as well as yummy bag lunches as we biked. Ilse was a fantastic bike guide and shared history of the areas we traveled through. The boat is beautifully maintained and this was the trip of a lifetime. We thank you for the great care you gave us and look forward to another trip on the Merlijn!
