Boat Cycling in Holland & Friesland

Easy cycling between sea, islands, and Dutch harbor towns

New

Cycle through a Netherlands of dikes, canals, windmills, sea and small harbour towns, and let your floating hotel follow along the way. From Enkhuizen, the journey goes through North Holland and Friesland, across the IJsselmeer and all the way out to the North Sea and the island of Texel. The cycling is easy and goes through an almost completely flat landscape with well-developed cycle paths. Every day something new awaits: historic Hoorn, Friesland's lake landscape, Harlingen's canals, sand dunes and sea air on Texel. Between the cycling tours, MS Rigoletto cruises on to the next harbour. So you unpack your bag once and for all, and still get a round trip filled with new surroundings.

Dinner

The journey begins in Enkhuizen, a beautiful old harbour town on the IJsselmeer. Boarding the MS Rigoletto takes place from 4:00 pm, and once you have settled into your cabin there is time to start getting acquainted with the town. Why not take a first walk along the harbour and through the historic town centre with canals, old houses and clear traces from the era when Enkhuizen was an important trading town. Afterwards, the journey's first dinner awaits on board. Unpack properly – the great thing about boat and bike is that your cabin stays with you throughout the whole trip.

Level and standard

An easy cycling trip through the almost completely flat landscape of North Holland and Friesland. The cycling days average around 36 km per day. On several days, you can choose between shorter and longer alternatives. The elevation differences are negligible. The cycling mainly takes place on the Netherlands' well-developed cycle paths and is suitable for those with a basic level of fitness who want to cycle at a relaxed pace. The cycling is done independently, but on board there is a tour guide who provides information every day about the next cycling tour.
