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.

Berlin/Spandau to Magdeburg, July 14th 2018

Dear friends,

Patti and I had a wonderful time on our trip.   You were all so focused on ensuring everything was perfect for our group. 

I came with very high expectations and they were greatly exceeded!  As an engineer I was so impressed with the barge.

Thank you once again for treating us to such a fine adventure! 

Regards, Ed Buehler
