We would like to mention here some interesting news and changes.
New in our fleet is the ship Arkona for 92 passengers. This small river cruiser operates from April through June tours in the Netherlands on our well-known Northern and Southern Tours of Holland with departure dates on Sundays. From early July until the end of the season the ship also sails with departures and arrivals on Sundays the new eight-day trip “Rhine and Moselle”, a wonderful round trip to and from Koblenz. All these tours are “semi-guided” with two tour guides.
Because the tours between Amsterdam and Bruges are so popular, the number of departures of the ship De Holland on the tour “The best of Holland and Belgium” has also been greatly expanded. This is also a “semi-guided” tour, where guests cycle independently and our tour guide is the back-up, cycling along the route.
Also due to the great success in 2024, the number of departure dates for the trip Sail & Bike Denmark and Sweden with the sailing ship Atlantis will be more than doubled. This is a trip with guided bicycle tours guided and two tour leaders.
For the popular trip “Sail & Bike Wadden Sea” we have a novelty in 2025: because the sailing ship Leafde Fan Fryslân has undergone a substantial upgrade, all tours in May, June and September with this ship in 2025 will be fully guided, have a number of inclusions and these tours will be labelled “premium”.
Before the end of May 2024 a few more (partly new) trips will be added in the Google Drive. Therefore, check the link regularly. Also, if changes in the tour programs need to be made in between times, the updated version can be found in our Google Drive. Tip: by using the dates listed there, you can easily see when a (new) file was uploaded.
All 2025 tour programs are now also available behind your login to the Boat Bike Tours Partner Portal. If you have not yet registered for our Partner Portal – where you can see the availability of all tours in real time, and where you can also make your own bookings in the second half of 2024 – please do so: it is free of charge. To do this, just send a short email to [email protected] and ask for login details for the Partner Portal. We can create one login per company.
Images for all (including the new) trips and ships can be found as always in our Flickr account. Partners who publish our tours may use these images royalty-free for their publications. To do so, please click on this link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/boatbiketours/albums/. New images will be added on a regularly basis.
NEW: BUSINESS ACCOUNT DIFFERENTIATION IN 2025
Before the start of the bookings for the 2025 travel season, Boat Bike Tours will implement further business account differentiation for its booking partners. An important first step will be to ask all our booking partners within a few days whether they will sell Boat Bike Tours trips to their customers in 2025 (in a legal sense) as tour operators or as intermediaries. What this involves and what the differences between these two types are will be explained in a separate email that you will receive in the next few days.
We look forward to continuing our successful season with good weather and many satisfied guests!
