Lock Tour Package Deal

Lock Cruise

From Maasbracht, we set sail on a journey of discovery, passing through the vast Maasplassen area of Limburg, covering a total of 3,000 hectares. Along the way, we pass through three locks, overcoming a total height difference of nearly 15 meters. You will also sail close to the Roermond waterfront, offering a beautiful view of the Natalini Tower and the Christoffel Cathedral. This cruise lasts 3.5 hours.

Part of the route takes you through the Lateraal Canal, a waterway specifically dug to shorten travel time for commercial vessels. There is a good chance you will see a passing cargo ship here. During the scenic route on the Maas, do not miss the breathtaking view of Resort Marina Oolderhuuske, a unique location on a peninsula between the Maas and the Maasplassen.

Throughout the trip, the captain provides fascinating insights into the sights along the way. There is plenty to see on the longest route in our sailing program.
