Step aboard the Noordzee in Den Helder for a special steam voyage to Dordrecht.

On Wednesday, May 27, the historic steam tugboat Noordzee departs from Museumhaven Willemsoord. You can sail along for one or more legs from Den Helder to Dordrecht. Sailing in the other direction is also possible. This way, you make the journey itself part of your experience.

Experience the Wadden Sea from the water

The journey begins at the port of Den Helder. You sail onto the Wadden Sea via the Helderse locks. Along the way, you will enjoy sweeping views, fresh sea air, and the rhythm of the steam engine. Bring your binoculars for the trip.

Choose your route to Dordrecht

The voyage of Den Helder towards Medemblik and Enkhuizen takes approximately 6 to 8 hours. A maximum of 25 passengers can travel per leg, and there is also room to take along a trainee mate and a trainee stoker for the entire journey. You can book a ticket via the Stoomsleepboot Noordzee website.
