Anna van Aemstel
13 cabins / 2 decks
The Anna van Aemstel (formerly the Wending) is a former freight barge that started a new life in the early 1990s as a passenger motor barge. Since then, the Anna van Aemstel is a familiar fixture on several routes in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The Anna van Aemstel (formerly the Wending) was renovated in 2025 and can accommodate up to 26 passengers in 13 cabins. It has a roomy, cozy salon, equipped with a complete music installation and TV. After a strenuous bike ride it is a great place to relax. Limited wifi is available on board, though only in the lounge and on deck (up to 50MB is free, with a surcharge for higher use).
