Merlijn has new owners

We are Coen & Cristina, here is a short introduction about us, the proud new owners of Merlijn.

A dream coming true, that is how we felt when we started of in april 2019. After working for years as Captains on big 5-star river-cruiseships (150 pax) we dreamed of something else; something smaller, more personal, specialized cruises, running our own business, the list of superlatives is long! We searched and had several ideas until we coincidently ran into Merlijn. That was it, that was the ship that filled in all the blank spaces! We went a 100% for it, sold our first house, quit our jobs and moved to the Merlijn.

We enjoyed a wonderful trip on the Danube with the Merlijn. The bike tour was very fun. We enjoyed the sights and the guides knowledge of the area. The relaxing environment and excellent food made each day special. We cant thank the captains and crew enough for their hospitality, hard work, and humor. Im sure we will travel with them again.
