Annual Rhine cruise for vulnerable and lonely elderly people

During this trip, around 50 guests who are no longer able to go on holiday independently were given the chance to get away from it all for a while.

These are vulnerable and lonely elderly people, often accompanied by their partner and/or carer. On board the holiday ship Prins Willem-Alexander (river cruise ship), they were fully looked after by a dedicated team of nurses, carers, a doctor and volunteers.

The trip not only offers the guests a valuable holiday, but also gives informal carers the chance to catch their breath and enjoy themselves.
