From cargo ship to B&B
Vita Nova is a historic, motorized cargo ship build in 1940 in Belgium. This type of ship is called a "spits". The ship, with her specific size, is built to navigate the canals of Belgium and France. When the Vita Nova was still operational, as a cargo ship, it docked multiple times in Amersfoort. Since 2010 Vita Nova has been used as a B&B.
Aboard are five ship's cabins, the sailor's cabin and the skipper's house. Breakfast is served in the public area.
