Packages There are several tours offered during the months April to November. The sailing programme and catering are some of the features which can be tailor made to suit your needs.

Hotelboat The ship’s cabins enjoy the high standards expected of a luxury hotel room, allowing the ship to double as hotel accommodation. The obvious advantage of a floating hotel is that the accommodation is able to move from place to place according to your wishes. A sailing trip or overnight stay on the ship provides an alternative venue for company outings, residential training courses and seminars. Contact us to discuss your custom made programme for your stay on board. We aim to ensure an inspirational and unforgettable experience is had by all.

There’s no better place to blow away the cobwebs than out on the open sea! There are numerous programme options to consider. Among them a visit to the Zuiderzee museum in Enkhiuzen, mooring in a beautiful Frisian city, a visit to the Kuekenhof tulip fields in Lisse to name but a few. It is also possible to invite your relatives on board the Magnifique during one of the main sailing events such as, the Sail Amsterdam, Delfsail, Frisian Skutsjesilen and the German Kielerwoche. For consecutive sailing days you can of course make use of the excellent overnight accommodation onboard. If you have something to celebrate, we have a selection of packages on offer. How about celebrating your anniversary in a unique and original way aboard a cruise ship with catering and musical entertainment provided?
