Brilliant!!

Pros: The vita nova is a once in a lifetime experience. The vita nova gives you what you need not necessarily what you want - if you are considering staying on this vessel, do not hesitate - we had so much fun, the room was great the shower was better than mine at home and the location was perfect too - will definitely be back!

Cons: Nothing!

Amazing experience well worthy of a thank you to the crew.

Pros: The overall experience was good. Room was clean and ready upon arrival. Breakfast was good. The fact that the boat moved to another location in Amsterdam was amazing. We got to experience the cruise sitting on the deck. The new location was Zandam is beautiful and not far from other attractions.

Cons: Not the crews fault but having shared bathroom facilities not everyone leaves the facilities in a clean respectful way.

Pros: Cool boat to stay at with a really good breakfast. Location is pretty good, we did have the same mooring during our stay but the email did say the location changes. Rooms surprisingly were very warm, we went in winter

Cons: The WiFi was a little patchy and couldn't use it well in the room. Limited shower/toilet options but probably expected given living on the boat. The shower only options you had to hang out your towel or clothes outside, I do think perhaps having the hook on the door might make it easier to access these after shower
