Winter program

De Ooievaart continues to operate in and around The Hague during the winter as well.

These trips are offered either as private group charters or via individual ticket sales, sharing the boat with other passengers.

Depending on the route, the trip takes place on either an open boat (following the route through The Hague’s city center) or a covered boat (following the historic tow-barge route outside the city center).

While some options consist solely of the boat trip itself, our winter program generally features packages that include catering or entertainment.

A brief summary of the rules:

Christmas Cruise

Boat trip along the canal with live music in a Christmas atmosphere.

Pea soup cruise

A boat trip on an open boat, followed by a bowl of Grandma’s pea soup.

Stamppot cruise

Boat tour followed by a traditional Dutch *stamppot* meal.
