My wife and I were SO DISAPPOINTED - we JUST missed you! We hopped on the Merlijn right after you left, on the Mittellandkanal across from the VW Autostadt. We booked the Merlijn based on your video from last year. It was amazing as we went from Wolfsburg to Berlin. I think everyone on the ship had seen your video and were there based on your experience!

Its obvious Emma LOVED this cruise and would probably book it again in a heartbeat. Havent seen her this surprised and excited to talk about a river boat cruise like this in a long time. When you get on a boat this small and the owners are also doing the dishes, you realize they cannot compete on price with the bigger cruise companies so they win you over with service and hospitality. Seems like they won the entire guests over.

My husband loves cycling, I will occasionally suffer the saddle for his benefit. This looks like it would be an excellent introduction to cruising for both of us. He could have people to cycle with, I could see lots of sights onboard, on foot, or on a bike. And neither of us would be overwhelmed by large crowds. Plus supporting a family-run small business! Thanks, Emma!

So glad you had a father daughter cruise. I hope it brought you two closer. Did the barge owners remember you from last year? At least you were better prepared, equipment wise, this time around AND your camera\phone survived unlike last year. I can't believe it been a year since you been on this cruise which means I've been following you for at least a year.

Excellent vlog. Your Dad did an amazing job enjoying all that cycling. It’s funny to think that when you had a well earned rest day he carried on cycling! My wife and I have owned e-bikes for many years. They make cycling up the big hills in Brighton easy to climb. Must admit other road users in the UK are much less bike friendly 🫢🚴🏽‍♂️🏥 In 2025 we are going on a Viking River Cruise from Amsterdam to Basel and have booked a houseboat in Amsterdam for two nights before we board the river boat. Can’t wait! 👍

Nice to see the owner was so flexible with the food. I would think this was a good cruise for solos, since it was such a small group. So nice that they donated their mattresses to Ukraine.

I call it skiving - never heard bunking off! =D I *love* the pockets on the back of my cycling jerseys! Once upon a time 25 years ago we lived in Germany. My son was 3 years old and we signed him up for a little preschool. They told me to pick him up at half ten. You can guess what happened. At 10am when I'm getting ready to pick him up and thinking I will be early, I got a phone call from a very concerned preschool who were worried I hadn't picked my son up yet. Oops. And that's where I learned that "half ten" meant nine thirty. =D. Absolutely fantastic video! Thank you! I'm sending this to my husband and fingers crossed he loves the idea too.

Hi Emma. Great video on the Merlijn. What a fun cruise. We (USA) would call it "skipping school" or "playing hooky". QUESTION: Did the boat have an old smell (not in a bad way) or creaking noises associated with old vessels (like vintage aircraft or vintage rail cars)? We sailed the SS Norway (formally the SS France) and the smell, creaking/popping noises, plus very thick white paint let us know it was truly a vintage ship that was still very clean, very nicely decorated, and functional.

I'd love to see more content like this - highlighting smaller and independently owned/run options. This level of intimacy and contact with the crew (and owners!) seems ideal. We'd already be thinking about booking with the Merlijn, except that my wife 100% does not ride a bike. We've now begun trying to find similar offerings, with less bicycle focus. :D

Em, when are you going to do a Maine Windjammer cruise? It's really different and I think you'll love it.

Hi Emma, Great video, watching from Sydney, Australia. We call skipping school - Wagging and skipping work is - Chucking a sickie or having a bludge day😊

Emma this looks like a brilliant way to cruise. Intimate and gorgeous scenery. I'm Cdn and for me personally, half-nine would also mean 8:30 am. 😁

Neat! I would love this cruise, if I ever get to that part of the world before I’m too old.

Amazing video and I experienced similar bike and barge cruises. More active travel as opposed to typical passive cruises.

I'm not sure this is the cruise for me, but it seems like an incredible experience for those who are cylcing-inclined. I imagine your video may stir up some good business for the lovely folks who own this ship.
