Before the cruise

Arrival
Whether by train or car, your arrival is always planned individually by you. If you arrive by car, the cruise line will be glad to provide you with information about parking options.
Excursions and visits
The excursions mentioned on the offer pages are not included in the travel price. Excursions can be booked in advance; Additional bookings are possible on board subject to availability. The execution of the excursions always depends on reaching the minimum number of participants. For short-term bookings, excursions can be paid for on board in cash or by credit or debit card.  
Embarkation and disembarkation
In your travel documents you will find detailed embarkation instructions for the exact berth at the embarkation point. Despite officially confirmed berths, ships may have to change these at short notice. Please also note the information on site and the exact embarkation times.
Schedule and program changes
Changes and deviations of individual travel services from the agreed content of the travel contract, which become necessary after the conclusion of the contract, e.g. due to the special circumstances of cruising, are permitted as long as they are not significant, do not lead to a significant change in the travel service and do not affect the overall layout of the cruise. The same applies for changes to travel times and/or routes (e.g. for safety and weather reasons), which are the sole responsibility of the captain responsible for the ship.  
Noises
Your ship is on the one hand your "holiday hotel", but on the other hand it is also a "work tool" that moves with engine power. As a result, typical ship noises may occur at any time (partly when passing through locks and bridges and the resulting entry and exit of the structure). We recommend guests who are sensitive to noise to take with them hearing protection/ear plugs.
Port berths
In many cities it is common for the port authorities to allocate a common berth to several ships if necessary. In these cases, the vessels are side by side and the clear view from your cabin may be affected.
Travel insurance
It is advisable to take out travel insurance.
Cancellation of the cruise
You can cancel the cruise at any time by paying cancellation fees.

The following bike tours are already included:
- Rotterdam: ride via Krimpen aan den IJssel to Kinderdijk, home to the Netherlands' most famous row of windmills. Continue through the Albwasserwaard polder area to Dordrecht. Dordrecht is considered the oldest city in the Netherlands. You will be captivated by its rich history, with approximately 1,000 listed buildings used as restaurants, museums, or theaters, and the wonderful historic harbor area.
- Dordrecht: after a short ferry ride, you reach the beautiful De Biesbosch nature reserve. Various rivers converge here, forming a freshwater delta of no less than 8,000 hectares. Perhaps you will take one of the boat rides offered everywhere here before continuing through the Rhine Delta area and taking a water taxi to Gorinchem. Don't miss the pretty historic old town of this small but very charming town.
- Gorinchem: from Gorinchem, ride via Leerdam to the fortress town of Vianen. Here, you should take a short break at one of the numerous sidewalk cafés. Take the ferry across the Lek and ride on to Vreeswijk with its narrow streets. Continue through the small town of Nieuwegein – perhaps you pay a quick visit to Fort Jutphaas, hidden in a green oasis in Nieuwegein, before reaching Utrecht. The city was built around the cathedral, making it virtually impossible to get lost in the traffic-calmed city center with its idyllic canals.
- Utrecht: this morning, you should definitely take some time to explore the lively city of Utrecht before getting back on your bike. Afterwards, tour through the beautiful polder landscape via Oudewater with its famous Witches' Weigh House to the silver town of Schoonhoven with its traditional Dutch old town.
- Schoonhoven: ride to Gouda. Continue to Rotterdam. The port of Rotterdam is not only the largest in Europe, but also one of the largest in the world. In recent years, the city has developed into one of the world's architectural and cultural metropolises.
- Rotterdam: two bike tours are available: the shorter option leads to Delft, where you have the opportunity to visit the porcelain factory; the longer option takes you directly to The Hague, the seat of government of the Netherlands, and then on to the North Sea resort of Scheveningen and back. Alternatively, you can take the train (Rail & Bike, not included, approx. €16 per person, excluding rush hour between16.30. and 18.00.) back to Rotterdam. In the late afternoon, take a harbor cruise through Europe's largest deep-water port and admire the impressive skyline and unusual architecture from the water. Not in the mood for cycling? Rotterdam offers endless possibilities for your day.

Please note:
It is possible to bring your own bicycles (€ 39,- only upon request, limited)


More information is available upon request.
