Brand new Magnifique!
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
First, if any of you have done a boat bike tour on a Magnifique, this one is next level. (My wife and I have done several on the other Magnifique boats) The ship was only completed in April and they have outdone themselves this time. The food, the rooms, the open air bar, roof deck (lighting at night is amazing) plus if you book a suite it opens to the water. A support van meets you midday for snacks or lunch; staff was amazing, could not recommend this tour enough. Also, if you get to Bruges climb the Belfry tower (book ahead)...it's worth it. Same goes for checking out the train station in Antwerp. It is a cathedral of transportation and I've personally seen quite a few train stations in Europe.

stunning ship, staff, rooms, and vibe...
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
Can’t recommend this ship and route enough! The food was outstanding every day, and the support van available along the route was a thoughtful touch that gave us extra peace of mind. We loved both the bikes and the cabins—they were comfortable, well-maintained, and made the entire experience feel effortless.
The cycling route was beautiful, with a wonderful mix of charming towns, scenic countryside, and memorable stops along the way. The crew was friendly, organized, and always willing to help, making the trip feel relaxed from start to finish. This was one of those vacations where every detail came together, and we’d happily book another bike and boat tour again.

Glorious holiday!
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we had chosen the right trip. The ship was comfortable and welcoming, and the cabins were surprisingly spacious and well designed. The bikes were excellent and made each day’s ride enjoyable, whether cruising through picturesque villages or beautiful countryside.
One feature we especially appreciated was the support van along the route. It was reassuring to know help was available if needed and made the trip accessible for riders of different abilities. The meals were another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and something we looked forward to after every ride. Between the outstanding crew, great accommodations, and incredible scenery, this was an unforgettable vacation that we would recommend without hesitation.

I’ve wanted to do this adventure for years and am so thankful I was able to take this trip. My daughter went with me and I loved spending time with her and exploring Belgium and the Netherlands together.
Absolutely fantastic trip!!!

Grand time in Holland
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)
A magnificent way to view a country. Biked over dykes, along canals, through back yards, farmers fields, small villages and large cities. A great variety. Excellent guides, boat staff and many new friends.

Great Way to See Holland
Amsterdam – Gouda – Bruges by Bike and Boat
The trip follows an interesting route along canals and through small towns. It avoids roads for the most part following bike paths. There are ALOT of bikes on the paths so you need to pay attention.

Nice Trip Overall
Amsterdam – Gouda – Bruges by Bike and Boat
Whilst this was a very easy cycling trip, but for us it was a real eye opener as we had never travelled to The Netherlands or Belgium before. It was great to the way the Dutch and Belgians have set up the communities to survive against the ever present threat of inundation. The countryside is beautiful and the way communities are set up is fascinating. The old towns and cities have their own style, different to Spain and Italy, so if you are interested in the old buildings and windmills, you won't be disappointed.
The entire staff on the boat were excellent and meals were superb. Companionship within the cycling group was also very good.
The only thing that was a little off-putting were some changes to overnight mooring spots over the course of the day on a couple of occasions. It didn't bother us that we had to cycle an extra few kilometers, but some cyclists were not used to travelling longer distances, so struggled a bit. I'm not sure why there was this uncertainty, but it took a little bit of gloss off what was a very enjoyable tour.

An excellently orchestrated ride!
Bruges to Dutch Border Bike Tour
We loved the well planned routes! Our guides, Alice and Thomas, were top notch professionals — informative and entertaining. The crew…Sabrina, Kevin and cook Joost were also top notch. No detail was missed.
The cabins suited our needs beautifully. As campers we are accustomed to a smaller footprint. The under-bed storage for luggage and above the bed cabinets for clothing were an unexpected plus.
Looking forward to another trip on the Iris!!!

re: Bruges Bike Tour
Bruges City Bike Tour
One of the best e-bike tours my wife and I have ever experienced. While it’s easy to hope for a smooth ride and great weather, what truly makes a tour exceptional is the guide—and without a knowledgeable, savvy guide, you’ll never maximize the experience.
We were fortunate to have all three, and Kim, our guide, was on another level. Truly a savant. Bar none, one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had—and we’ve done around 20 e-bike tours across the world.
If you’re looking to gain the equivalent of a 12-week college course in just three hours, make sure you book your tour with Kim. We’re incredibly grateful.
Disclaimer: I rarely write reviews, but when you come across a rockstar like Kim, it’s a must.
