The Route is not a room, but the sailing itself. From the Hembrugterrein (Taets Art & Event Park) in Zaandam to the heart of Amsterdam, the Hembrug ÉÉN sails past the EYE Film Museum, the A'DAM Tower and over the IJ. Boarding at Amsterdam Centraal is also possible.
The Hembrug ÉÉN is a classic passenger ship, built in 1964 in Hemiksem, Belgium as the Flandria 18. For years it ran Antwerp's famous sightseeing cruises, and in 2018 it began a new life in the Zaanstreek. Now it carries guests across the water between Zaandam and Amsterdam, with a captain and crew on board.
