Retired Afloat

We departed Purmerend where we had spent the last week preparing for the end of the season. As we took our final cruise we enjoyed taking in the iconic scenery of the Netherlands that we have come to love - endless waterway, beautiful green fields, the characteristic windmills, the quaint villages reminding you of bygone years and a long history. Leaving tomorrow is bitter-sweet. With another season on MV Sunshine Coast behind us, full of wonderful memories, but heading to a new adventure as we join Viking Venus in Tokyo on Sunday.

Thank you VERY much for sharing your time/adventures on your MV Sunshine Coast❣️ It’s been a joy vicariously “participating in your travels”❣️

Perfect video to wrap up your long summer afloat in the Netherlands just enjoying life. 💯⭐️👌 Great to chat online with you both last night. Go easy now onto the next season onboard Viking. 😘

I shall look forward to reading about this coming winter's cruising. Just sorry that we never quite met up this summer, although often not far away! Cx

Be safe, see you next year😘🙋🏼‍♀️

👍😘

Safe onward travels to Japan x

And so the dream continues to recreate itself. You share a wonderful life together.

Thanks for the posts of your journey. Has inspired us to take Sola to that part op NL next year. Will be visiting old haunts as I used to live in Purmerend and worked in the area. The villages are lovely there.

Friends from Australia Sandra Cummings and Ron Dyker arrived to spend 4 nights with us aboard MV Sunshine Coast as part of their European Grand Tour Adventure. We've been waiting years for Ron and Sandra to visit and we had such a great time together.

We celebrated Sandra's birthday with more than a few drinks as we cruised from Haarlem to Alkmaar. The finale was our final dinner together last night at our favourite Greek restaurant in Alkmaar where Sandra and Lea entertained other dinners with their dancing! (A bit like Zorba the geeks!)

During a brief (I expect) break in the weather of rain and wind, Geoff took the opportunity to take a couple of photos of us with the place all to ourselves. Now if the sun will just keep shining for our guests arriving tomorrow. ... See MoreSee Less

A lovely evening at our first berth on the start of our final leg towards the end of our season. A couple of hot air balloons add a something special to a serene evening. ... See MoreSee Less
