Take a cruise on the most beautiful river in the Netherlands with shipping company Stichtse Vecht. The trip (of 3 or 3.5 hours) on the Vecht departs from Maarssen, taking you past stately country houses, castles and i.a. Loenen a/d Vecht (Mijnden lock). Get on and off at Oostwaard 34 ms in Maarssen (the car park of the hockey fields).

During the cruise, the captain will tell you about the numerous historical and monumental sights you will see along the way. In good weather, you can stay on the upper deck of the salon boat / canal boat and have an even better view of the historical landscape you sail through.

The river Vecht was discovered by wealthy Amsterdam merchants as early as the 16th century. In the summer months, they wanted to leave the "smelly city" of Amsterdam, so they built beautiful country houses, small castles and teahouses along the banks.

This canal cruise takes you along the most beautiful part of the river Vecht, a must see!
