“ We have had a cruise through the canals of Utrecht with our company. Fortunately, we were lucky that the weather was beautiful. We really enjoyed the delicious freshly prepared BBQ and delicious chilled drinks. From the water it is really a beautiful view. Sail past the centraal museum from the boarding point under hoog Catharijne.
