A low late-afternoon sun gilds the mahogany hull as the boat slips from the quay, oars barely whispering against the canal. Passengers settle into cushions; the city opens like a map—cobbled façades, slender spires, and houseboats bobbing in rhythm. Conversation is the itinerary: quiet, convivial, intentionally hygge.
