Merlijn 2027 – fresh off the press

With great pride we present our 2027 programme, the ink is still warm!

Behind every Merlijn season lies months of preparation, discussion, scouting and fine-tuning. Each year we face the same luxury challenge: there are simply more beautiful routes than we can fit into one sailing season. Where do we go? Which experiences best fit the Merlijn spirit? And what do our guests ask for, or hope to discover next?

With great care, Coen, Cristina and the entire Merlijn team shape the season. Routes are developed, reviewed and refined. Sometimes that means stepping away from a sailing area for a while, so we can later return with fresh energy. And that’s exactly what makes 2027 such a special year.

For some, 2027 is still veeeery far away, while others have been waiting for months to be able to book! As far as we are concerned, now is the best moment to book, as there is still plenty of choice in routes and dates. If you are travelling with friends, there is a good chance that you will find enough availability for your preferred trip. Don’t let the world distract you from your holiday plans, and we will continue to focus on giving you the very best “Merlijn experience”.

We often hear that the anticipation starts with choosing the most beautiful route for you, and that’s how we see it too! We wish you lots of fun with this.

Love, owners of Merlijn Coen & Cristina
