Join us for an unforgettable journey with Merlijn in 2025

We at Merlijn have been working hard to finalize our 2025 tours into every little detail. No effort was spared (and neither was our night's rest in the last few days), to make sure the tours will launch today!

We've dedicated ourselves to developing beautiful itineraries with breathtaking views. We took a good look at existing routes, designed a new route, and reintroduced some old successful routes. Ensuring each journey is memorable..

Going online you might see your preferred date already booked. This is possible because we have been promoting our tours to groups and partners for longer. If you cruised with us last year, you probably already saw the sailing schedule on the table. We are very proud to share that a few group reservations did start this way. Nevertheless, there’s still plenty to choose from and more tours than ever are available for individual bookings!

‘Booked by an agency’, can be seen noted at some tours. This means the entire tour has been reserved by one of our partners. They re-sell our tours to their clientele, sometimes with extra services before and after our Bike & Barge Cruise. If you wish to book that specific tour, please contact us and we can let you know the agency and if they have cabins available. Or book another date directly via our website.

We're thrilled to share that these adventures are now ready for you. Highlighting three of our favorites:

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.
