The glass-domed saloon, set up for dinner with a view of the canal.
The open aft deck for drinks and the first dance.
The small onboard galley where catered dishes stay warm.
The gangway and quayside on the Prinsengracht on arrival.
“The dome above the saloon is exactly as special as it looks in photos. We sat down with a hundred guests and everyone still kept glancing outside at the Jordaan facades. During drinks the glass slid open and the outside air just drifted in.”
“Femke de Boer sorted the bike-taxi permit for our older guests right at the gangway within two days. Small detail, but it saved a lot of trouble not having anyone trudge along the quay.”
“We brought our own caterer and the galley was small but functional enough to keep everything warm. Dinner arrived on time and at the right temperature, that's really all we needed.”
“Fifty guests was on the smaller side according to Femke, but that's exactly what made the aft deck feel intimate during our first dance. Onboard heating wasn't a luxury we could skip in October.”
