  • Hi, Are you open for below dates? 29th April to May 1st 2022? I don’t see your pricing as well. Could you please confirm pricing for above dates?

    Sorry, we are closed from mid April till somewhere October/November due to our other operations as barge cruise ship in France (see site johannacruises)
    Answered on 25 February 2022

  • Hey Do you have parking? And is breakfast included? Cheers Rach

    Hi Rach, Continental breakfast is included. Free parking is very limited in the street. No problem to come by car to drop off your luggage. I can then show you where parking is available nearby, free or at 5.50 euro/24h. Best, Kris

Company information

After a hectic life in ICT and physical education, Kris and Patsie decided to change course and offer relaxing barge cruises in Belgium and France on their live-abord hotelship Johanna in summer. During winter season, the rooms are available for B&B in Bruges. We both love meeting new people and sharing information, having a pleasant chat or just see that our guests are happy.

Neighbourhood information

Being moored on the canal just outside the city center of Bruges, this is one of the most quiet areas to stay. In the morning you may be woken by quacking ducks swimming beneath the portholes. Apart from the historic city of Bruges at walking distance from the schip, Damme and Sluis are at cycling distance (6 and 15km) along the canal. Even the Belgian coast is worth a visit, with Ostend at 25km, or the Belle Epoque village of De Haan and the mondaine city of Knokke with its many modern art galleries, golf course and "The Zwin" nature reserve.
