Our Tip: Book early, those bike & boat trips fill up fast!
Individual arrival, embarkation at 12 pm, welcome champagne and bike handover. Then a boat trip to historic Liège, the "little Paris on the Meuse". High up is the lock of Petit Lanaye, where the ship is lifted to 18 meters. Dinner in Liège, there is also the possibility to participate in a guided tour of the city with the captain.
Visit the famous market "La Batte" after the breakfast. Here the bikes are offloaded and after discussing the tour, you start your bike tour through the beautiful valley of the Voer to the wonderful Castel of Eijsden and the delightful Village of Kanne. In the afternoon you arrive in Kanne and enjoy your coffee or tea on board. You are free to spend the rest of the evening as you please.
During breakfast the ship brings you to Lanaken where today’s cycling tour starts. It leads us through an enchanting world of legendary castles and legends. Visit the medieval ruins of Pietersheim or make a nice shopping tour in Maasmechelen Village Outlet Center. Afterwards your ship will continue to Bree. The boat moors beneath the city. In the evening it is a real treat to stroll the streets of this small picturesque town.
Today we cycle to the Limburg National Park Hoge Kempen. This surprises with a magnificent stage through extensive forests, impressive land dunes and mysterious moor landscapes. You will visit the old Benedictine abbey Stift Achel with its monastery brewery. On the way there are numerous opportunities to stop for refreshments. For shorter day trips, various suggestions are available on board.
Our bike tour takes us from Thorn along the border-Meuse route past beautiful old farms as well as windmills. Don’t forget to taste the good gastronomy and the famous Belgian chocolate here. The way leads via the historically interesting village Maaseik back to Thorn, where the ship is waiting for you.
Across the quiet lakes, the MS Miró first takes you to the shipping village of Maasbracht, where you then cycle past the mighty lock complex to the Juliana Canal and head towards Born. Passing the village of Stein, you cycle through apple orchards to Elslo with its pretty castle. Afterwards you cycle through the wooded area back to Maastricht.
