Netherlands Waterway Cruise Pre-Departure Meeting

NWCmeeting_2

The trip is less than two weeks away. Henk held the pre-departure meetings in the Education Center at Witte on Saturday, April 5. Many people attended both meetings. The documents were covered in depth. Having helped create them, there wasn’t much new to me there. During the question and answer period though I learned a lot. I feel that the people who attended have a better understanding of what to expect on the trip. Henk covered money, electricity, shopping and he shared the ten commandments for travelers.

Heading to the Netherlands!

I am so exciting to be going to the Netherlands. Forty days until we leave, and so much to do! I plan to take lots of photos of the April 18th Netherlands Waterways Cruise we offer here at Witte. There is a second sailing on April 25th as well. I should be able to offer some “first timers” experience for those who are interested.
Stay tuned for updates.

2012 Netherlands Waterway Cruise – General

After working on the documents for the Netherlands Waterway for many years, it was really interesting to see the tour in operation. There was only one NWC tour this year plus an extension to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland was also offered. The routing this year took us by bus from Amsterdam via Gouda and Kinderdijk to Arnhem where we boarded the M.P.S. Salvinia. We then had dinner on the ship while we cruised to Doesburg for the first overnight. On Sunday we cruised through the Gelderland to Zutphen and on to Kampen for the overnight, Monday brought us to Sneek for the overnight, Tuesday was Franeker, Wednesday across the Wadden Sea to Schagen, Thursday back to Amsterdam with an extra night here before departing the ship on Saturday morning for our trip to the airport and the return flights. Each day was filled with things to do and see, or if you wished, an opportunity to comfortably relax and watch the scenery go by. Although the weather was cold and it rained off and on, we were able to do and see everything as scheduled.
