Mooi concept met super vriendelijke en behulpzame bemanning. Heel lekker eten met verrassende combinaties.
Gert De SaveurJun 18th, 2024 - Great mix between sportive activity and Relaxation
Great mix between sportive activity and sailing. Nice accomodations. The crew was very friendly and helpful. Our chef did such a wonderful job in spoiling us with his creative menus – they were all delicious. We enjoyed very much, that the bike tours were planned on a individual basis and we didn’t have to follow a guided tour in a group. Made it a lot more relaxing for us. Hope that option will be continued. Don’t know if we had joined, if group cicling tours had been the only option.
VanessaJun 2nd, 2024 - Biking in small villages and towns in&
Biking in small villages and towns in areas of the Netherlands that I would not otherwise see was the highlight. Being on a ship for the week was relaxing, and I enjoyed getting to know other passengers. I appreciated the large ship and small group of passengers. The dinners were very good and I appreciated the variety. The breakfasts were quite repetitive, despite offering an array of options each morning. Being able to add a piece of fruit to the sandwich picnics would have been helpful as well. The staff were interesting, pleasant and easy to work with. Note: I would have happily paid more for a nicer quality of wine.
