Wending

Cruising the canals in Holland

12 cabins / 2 decks

The Wending is a former freight barge that started a new life in the early 1990s as a passenger motor barge. Since then, the Wending is a familiar fixture on several routes in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The Wending was renovated in 2015 and can accommodate up to 26 passengers in 12 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).
