The Sailor's Suite â aboard the historic vessel Reussi
At the bow of the Reussi, where the ship meets the water first, lies the Sailor's Suite. Serene, refined and designed with an unmistakable feminine elegance, this is a place to slow down, breathe out and let Amsterdam come to you â one gently passing boat at a time.
The Space
The Sailor's Suite is a design retreat in the truest sense. A cosy private living room, a peaceful bedroom, a modern bathroom, and your own private waterside terrace â all thoughtfully finished to create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and quietly luxurious. Step outside onto the deck and watch the canal life drift by; step back inside and the world retreats entirely.
Every detail here has been considered by hand. Gerben â a maritime school graduate with a deep love for Amsterdam's waterways and the storied history of the Reussi â led the ship's full renovation himself. His fiancĂ©e Rodinde brought her signature touch to the interior: a refined sense of elegance, carefully chosen materials and the kind of warmth that you feel the moment you walk through the door. The result is a space that is stylish without being cold, luxurious without being excessive.
Air conditioning, fast Wi-Fi and a Smart TV keep you comfortable when you want them. Coffee, tea, fresh bed linen and towels are all included. Everything else â the light on the water, the stillness of the morning, the slow rhythm of city life seen from the canal â comes naturally.
The Location
The Reussi is moored on the Kalkmarkt, one of Amsterdam's widest and most picturesque historic canals, in the very heart of the old city. Dam Square, Rembrandtplein and the Passenger Terminal are all within easy reach, and Amsterdam Centraal Station is just a 10â15 minute walk away. Close to everything, yet â from your private terrace â gloriously removed from it all.
Getting Here
The ship is located at Kalkmarkt 16 in the historic centre. A private gate and broad quayside stairway lead directly onto the deck and to your suite entrance â a quiet arrival that sets the tone for your stay.
Good to Know
The Reussi has multiple private suites. The Sailor's Suite â exactly as shown in the photos â is entirely yours during your stay. Other areas of the vessel are not included.
