A new season, a new helm

Behind the scenes, Merlijn is constantly evolving, not only in comfort, but also in technology.

This winter, we completely renewed the ship’s steering system. With upgraded components and modern navigation tech, the new helm ensures smoother sailing, greater precision, and enhanced safety.

You might not see it, but you’ll definitely feel it when you're on board.

Magdeburg to Berlin 'West meets East Germany tour"

Thank you, Coen and Christina! This was our third trip aboard the Merlijn and we had a wonderful time. Your hospitality is excellent—our whole family enjoyed the cruise—and we recommend your bike and barge trips for people who appreciate great biking, comfortable accommodations, and an all-around great experience. Merlijn continues to be magic on the water and we look forward to our next cruise with you.
