You can book our sleeping-ships on a bed & breakfast base. The price a person a night varies from about € 30,00 to € 65,00. Increasing the catering to e.g. full board is mostly possible.
If you are planning a company trip, school excursion, city trip or study tour to Amsterdam or Rotterdam and if you areare looking for a nice priced hotel accommodation, please let us make you an offer! Our hotel ships can serve in a splendid way as a (sailing) location for continuing education, team building and brainstorm sessions. Furthermore the boats are very suitable as a temporarily sleeping accommodation for workers on the job.

During the touristical high season (April till September) HAT Tours organises so-called Bike & Barge holidays aboard the hotel ships.
Our passenger ships sail from city to city with an international group of lovers of cycling. In the morning the participants get on their bike and cycle along a well-outlined route. In the afternoon the cyclists find their floating hotel room moored in the next city.
HAT Tours also charters ships to all kind of international groups for cruises on the Dutch & Belgian waterways.
