Summer is almost over. Is that a bad thing? Well, not when you see what fun events are coming up. In this Belle Journal, we are happy to tell you more!

Summer is almost over. Is that a bad thing? Well, not when you see all the fun events coming up. In every month ahead, there is something to experience aboard our ships and we are also already looking forward to the event of all events, SAIL Amsterdam, which will take place again next year. Will you take a look with us?


The sale has started! Book your SAIL 2025 package now

We had to wait 10 years for it, but it is finally going to happen again. In 2025, many Tall-ships, pleasure boats, crew members and visitors from all over the world will come together for the 10th edition of SAIL Amsterdam. It’s the nautical party everyone wants to attend. And to make the party complete, we will also celebrate the 750th anniversary of our capital city. It’s a party for everyone. For Holland Waterland, for young and old and all cultures. All our ships participate, of course. Are you interested in a SAIL package? Then request our package leaflet quickly, because the offer is limited and sales have already started.


Book now for September:
Enjoy the late summer with free Prosecco!

The late summer weather is still beautiful, but many of us are unfortunately back inside the office. To ease the transition, you can go out with your colleagues, friends or family and prolong the summer feeling while the sun is still shining. And to add to the party spirit, in September you will receive a free welcome with Prosecco when sailing on the Grote Jager! When booking, mention that you have received our newsletter to take advantage of this offer.


Book now for November or December:
Your own steamboat (with or without Saint Nicholas)

Our steamboat has been the backdrop for many arrivals of Saint Nicholas and for films and commercials surrounding the Good Saint. Are you looking for a ship for a festive arrival of Saint Nicholas in your municipality? Or would you like to organise an unforgettable Saint Nicholas party for (the children of) your colleagues or association members? Then book our unique steamship Succes. We can arrange everything for you and even a visit from Saint Nicholas and his helpers is among the possibilities!


Book now for December or January:
Wonderful Amsterdam Light Festival

The ‘Amsterdam Light Festival’ will once again transform Amsterdam into a enchanting light show during the dark winter months. The theme this time is ‘Rituals’. Wander along through a realm where the oldest customs are revived and where each ceremony bridges the past and our deepest wishes for tomorrow. The festival starts on Thursday 28 November 2024 and lasts until Sunday 19 January 2025. Of course, the Amsterdam Light Festival is best experienced from the water, so we have again put together several great packages for you.


Book your Christmas or end-of-year party now:
Glitter glamour in Roaring Twenties style

Brace yourself for an evening of glamour, glitz and luxury with an unforgettable Roaring Twenties-style party. You provide the flapper dresses, pearl necklaces, dapperly dressed gentlemen with fedoras and bow ties, and we provide the venue and entertainment. Together, we go back in time to the decade synonymous with extravagance and revelry with swinging jazz music, charleston dancing and, of course, the best speakeasy-style cocktails. As the lights of the city twinkle in the distance, spend the evening dancing, laughing and enjoying the unique ambiance.
