The Vita Nova Floating
Hostel in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Vita Nova,
originally named the Tijdgeest was built and launched in 1913. It
traveled in and around Holland carrying various types of cargos in
the winter and pleasure passengers in the summer. The first
passengers were members of the Christian church and had to sleep in
hammocks slung between the decks. The present owners took over the
boat in 1996 and after a major refit, it has been used for the
pleasure routes ever since. In the summer, she can be found
cruising the waterways of Holland and the rest of the
year, she is moored in Amsterdam close to the central railway
station and is used as a floating hotel.
There are twenty four cabins on two decks, cabins are one or
two berths with or without shower; there are separate
showers on both decks. A spacious day room with seats for
fifty persons with a bar, or if you prefer a bright sun deck
where you can relax and enjoy the air.
