“Staying in a refurbished river cruise vessel offers more than just a bed; it's a slice of Amsterdam's vibrant NDSM Wharf art scene. The free ferry whisks you to the city center, while onboard, the unique nautical decor and communal areas create a social vibe unlike typical hotels; if you appreciate quirky character over pristine luxury, this could be a great fit.”
