    De Holland

    De Holland is a medium-sized cozy river cruise ship, built in 1952 and extended by 16 meters in 2012. In the winter of 2017/2018 the ship has been completely refitted: new marshalling, spacious and more luxurious cabins and a full restyle of the interior. The ship sails under Dutch flag and management and has always been very popular and appropriate for various trips in Holland, and for several seasons the ship has been sailing between Holland and Belgium.

    Description of the cabins

    The lower deck has 22 twin cabins (10 m² – 108 sq.ft.). Two twin cabins in the front have two separate beds, set next to each other as a hotel style bed (200 x 160 cm – 78 x 62 inches) and an additional fold away bunk bed as optional third bed (only for children). 20 Twin cabins have two separate beds, set next to each other as a hotel style bed (200 x 160 cm – 78 x 62 inches). All lower deck cabins have a window (80 x 40 cm – 31 x 16 inches) that – for safety reasons – cannot be opened.

    The upper deck offers nine identical twin cabins (10 m² – 108 sq.ft.) and one suite (13 m² – 140 sq.ft.), all with two separate beds set next to each other as a hotel style bed (200 x 160 cm – 78 x 62 inches). All upper deck cabins and the suite have a “French Balcony” (floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors) instead of a regular window.

    On previous request, in most cabins beds, normally set as hotel-style beds, can be arranged as two separate single beds.

    All 32 cabins aboard De Holland have an individual climate control system, digital TV, mini-safe, small wardrobe, hair dryer, 230V sockets and a private bathroom with shower, toilet and basin. The suite has the same amenities as the twin cabins but is larger.

    Description of the ship

    De Holland has a large salon with large panoramic windows on the upper deck that combines the restaurant, bar and a lounge area. Wi-Fi is available. On the partially roofed sun deck, chairs and sun loungers invite for a stay. Here you can relax and have a drink and enjoy the scenery while sailing.  Bicycles will be stored on a separate part of the sun deck.

      all trails are very easy to ride and to navigate.

      the food for breakfast was good, but for diner was not so good.

      Well organized GPS routes. Good variety of scenic routes and points of interest.

      Having a excellent crew who provided a welcoming atmosphere. Providing a social atmosphere where people from all different backgrounds can come together through cycling to build camaraderie and friendship.

      Springtime Tulip Tour

      This is our second boat/bike tour. The Netherlands can’t be beat for accessible biking. Our tour was early April and the flowers were in bloom. The tour leaders were great, gave great information and were very approachable with questions. The food was tasty, nice bike routes. An affordable option for those that enjoy cycling and seeing new places.
