The 2026 season has only just really picked up speed, yet the travel year 2027 is already casting its anchor. In the coming year, our Bike & Boat tours will once again feature popular classics, exciting new routes, modern ships and even a true innovation in sustainable travel. Whether you prefer a relaxed journey along famous rivers or sailing across the sea with the wind in your sails – be inspired and discover your favourite trip for 2027 today.
Some journeys delight travellers year after year. That is why the popular ships Magnifique II, III and IV will once again be part of our programme in 2027. Discover the most beautiful cities in the Netherlands and Belgium, including Amsterdam, Ghent, Antwerp and Bruges, and experience the famous windmills of Kinderdijk. These stylish ships combine comfort with a truly special travel experience and offer the ideal way to explore the region at a relaxed pace by bike and boat. The Danube also remains one of our great classics. The premium ships MS SE-Manon, MS Lisabelle and MS Vivienne take you to some of the most beautiful places along the river – from Passau through the Wachau Valley to Vienna, and on selected tours even as far as Hungary. During the day, you cycle along well-developed paths through picturesque river landscapes; in the evening, you enjoy the comfort of your floating hotel. These tours are especially suitable for beginners, leisure cyclists and anyone wishing to discover famous regions without too much effort.
There is also news on the Rhine and Moselle. The elegant MS Switzerland invites you to experience these romantic river landscapes from a different perspective. Passing vineyards, castles and half-timbered towns, you enjoy relaxed cycle tours on excellent bike paths while travelling in comfort without having to pack your suitcase every day. A special highlight awaits you in Italy: the new MS Ave Maria Portegrandi. Between Mantua and Venice, you follow the course of the Po and discover one of Italy’s most fascinating regions. What makes this journey so special is that the MS Ave Maria Portegrandi is one of the most innovative ships in Europe. Thanks to powerful photovoltaic modules and modern battery storage, the use of a diesel generator is almost no longer necessary. The result is a particularly quiet and low-emission journey – ideal for everyone who values nature-friendly travel without compromising on comfort. Italy lovers, technology enthusiasts and environmentally conscious travellers will all find plenty to enjoy here.
Of course, 2027 also has new adventures in store. Aboard the Elizabeth, you will set off into the fascinating coastal world of Zeeland. Between the North Sea, dykes, dunes and historic harbour towns, you will experience one of the most beautiful regions in the Netherlands. The route combines impressive waterscapes with charming towns and the famous hydraulic engineering works for which the Netherlands is renowned worldwide. Those who would like to travel even further north should take a closer look at our tour aboard the tall ship Antigua. Between Denmark and Sweden, you will discover the island world of the Öresund in a particularly impressive way. Look forward to the vibrant cities of Copenhagen and Malmö, idyllic fishing villages, small islands and spectacular limestone cliffs. During the day, you explore the region by bike, while in the evening you enjoy the special atmosphere of a traditional tall ship. And sometimes the adventure begins even before you go ashore: as some harbours are too shallow for the sailing ships, guests are occasionally taken ashore by dinghy – an experience that makes these journeys even more unique.
Whether it is a relaxing river cruise through some of Europe’s most beautiful regions, sustainable travel aboard innovative ships or a true sailing adventure among the islands of the North – the 2027 Bike & Boat season offers the perfect experience for every taste. For connoisseurs who wish to cycle at a relaxed pace along picturesque rivers. For explorers eager to discover new regions. And for adventurers who love the wind in their sails and the fresh sea air.
