And last but not least, on Saturday or Sunday, depending on the weather, the ship will take a sailing tour for a few hours on the IJ.
Keep in mind:
- You can add additional workshops and activities during sign-up at an extra cost.
- The sailing tour will overlap with the early workshops. So if you take the beginners, advanced or cabaret track, you’ll miss either the sailing trip or half of your classes.
- This is not the Friday canal boat tour with live music, part of the exchange day; that is a separate activity you can sign up for. So you can do 2 boat tours!
