What does “all staterooms booked by a travel agent” mean?

We receive this question often, and understandably so!
Merlijn works with a small selection of travel agents and tour operators, but we sell most of our staterooms ourselves.

If you see this message on the tour of your choice, it means that all staterooms (usually the entire departure) have been allocated to a travel agency. It may also indicate a private charter.

In most cases this also means that the departure is fully booked, but please feel free to contact us so we can double-check. We know exactly which agency has purchased that specific tour and can verify availability on their side.

If it turns out that the staterooms are indeed no longer available, we will gladly help you find a suitable alternative, so don’t hesitate to reach out!

What a wonderful boat and crew. We couldnt be happier. The boat is immaculate and Ive never met a nicer crew. Biking was just right and the tulips were spectacular. We look forward to joining the Merlijn again with our children and their spouses.
