Looking ahead to 2027

Dear friends,

Over the past months, we at Merlijn have been spending a lot of time looking ahead.

On board and behind the scenes, we have been working on finalising our programme for 2027. Routes have been carefully reviewed and developed, and the cycling routes in particular have been thoughtfully mapped out and refined, always keeping a good balance between cycling, cruising and time ashore.

It is a process that takes time and attention, and one we have truly enjoyed working on.

On 14 February, we will share the result and launch our 2027 season.

Please mark this date in your calendar and feel free to share it with friends and family, we can’t wait to share it with you!

Warm regards,

The Merlijn Crew

Merzig to Nancy/Frouard

October 16 - 23 / 2021
My wife and I, along with 11 other couples had a fantastic bike and barge adventure on the Merlijn. Captain Coen was a very gracious host His wife Christina cooked us gourmet meals every day. Danille our server was a real delight, and Carla kept everything clean. The ship was spotless! Our tour guide Ilysa (sp?) kept our group of 24 riders in sync. This was a journey of a lifetime and I highly recommend it to others.
