Special nights on a ship

Are you looking for an unusual accommodation and love water? Then consider booking an overnight stay on a ship. From a ship you look out over the peaceful water and immediately experience the real vacation feeling. Spending the night on a ship is very different from a standard hotel or bed and breakfast. An overnight stay on a ship is therefore often unforgettable. We have made a selection below with some of the nicest ships for an overnight stay or weekend away that can be booked through Vipio. Ship ahoy! 

This charming houseboat in Vinkeveen offers a one-of-a-kind stay right on the water — surrounded by nature, yet close to Amsterdam. The boat is suitable for up to 4 guests and features two cozy bedrooms. Inside, you’ll find a warm wooden interior with a comfortable seating area, dining table, and a well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove, refrigerator, and microwave oven. Relax with a movie on the flat-screen TV with Netflix, or curl up with a good book in the lounge area located in the bow of the boat. The Vinkeveen lakes are known for their crystal-clear water and small islands — perfect for swimming, boating, paddleboarding, diving, fishing, or simply drifting peacefully on the water. Fancy a city day? Amsterdam and Utrecht are just a short drive away. Click here to view this boat

In the marina of the cozy town of Monnickendam you can spend the night on a real ship for 4 people. Monnickendam is a cozy and historical city on the Markermeer. The ship has two bedrooms, each with a double bed and private bathroom. There is also a kitchen and cozy living room. From the wheelhouse you look out over the entire harbor and outside you can enjoy the sun on the terrace. You can also swim next to the boat. Click here to view this ship

 For a completely different, yet just as charming experience, you can spend the night on an authentic sailing barge in the historic harbor of a fortified town along the Haringvliet. This traditional ship exudes Dutch coziness and is perfect for families or groups of friends of up to 6 people. Inside, you’ll find a spacious lounge for playing games or cooking together, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom. The bunk beds make this accommodation especially suitable for guests who are comfortable with climbing in and out of bed. The surroundings are lively and full of character: restaurants and terraces are just around the corner, and a walk along the museum quay takes you past historic ships, old fortifications, and fascinating maritime stories.

In addition to historic ships and classic houseboats, you can also choose a stylish, modern houseboat with a surprising design. This boat features a sleek, rounded shape reminiscent of iconic retro caravans. The houseboat accommodates up to 5 guests and includes two bedrooms plus a sofa bed in the living area. There is a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom with a rain shower and toilet. Outside, you can relax on your private terrace right on the water, watching boats pass by. The houseboat is also largely sustainable and self-sufficient in terms of energy and water. The mooring is located in a lively, creative district of ’s-Hertogenbosch, just a short walk from the historic city center.
