The Princesse Royal (formerly Magnifique) was originally constructed as a seagoing sailing vessel, which explains the unique shape of the ship, before being converted to a passenger barge for inland waterways. This deluxe category barge was fully restyled and refurbished in 2010 and, during the winter of 2012/2013, extended by 14 meters. Roy van der Veen, the owner and skipper, sets high standards for atmosphere, personal service and comfort, with the aim to offer his guests an unforgettable stay on board. The Princesse Royal sails under Dutch flag and management
