Route of the cruise through the Bommelerwaard

You are expected on board between 9:30 and 10:00 in the port of Heusden. At 10:00 we sail away. From Heusden we sail via the Bergsche Maas to the Sluis at St. Andries. Along the way you will enjoy the industrial port, the ferry to Bern, and the villages of Bokhoven, Engelen, Ammerzoden and Hedel. At 's-Hertogenbosch we sail under no less than three bridges. We pass Kerkdriel and then again at St. Andries Lock, to end up on the Waal.

We sail on the Waal with the current and pass Zaltbommel, Haaften and Brakel, among others. At Slot Loevestein we cross the Waal and enter the Afgedamde Maas. We sail past Woudrichem and Poederoijen, the Waal becomes the Merwede and then we arrive at Andel Lock. Through Veen, Aalst and Wijk en Aalburg we sail back to the port of Heusden.

Comments from our guests

This is what the canal cruise Bommelerwaard looks like

While enjoying a piece of good pastry and a cup of coffee or tea, we depart. After a morning enjoying beautiful views, you must have gotten hungry: at 12:30 we serve our extensive lunch buffet. After lunch you can quietly lower your food and let yourself sail around on the waves.

At 15:00 the drinks start! With the drinks there are of course bitterballen, and also coffee, tea, beer, wine and soft drinks. At 16:30 we arrive back at the harbor in Heusden and this nice day on the water is over.
