Escortservice on Texel and other Wadden Islands

Book a high class escort on the Dutch Wadden Islands such as Texel

The Dutch Wadden Islands, including Texel, are a very special part of the Netherlands. The majority of our high class escorts are also available here for bookings. However, due to the limited accessibility of Texel and the other Wadden Islands, this is a bit more difficult than the average escort booking.

A booking with a high class escort on Texel or one of the other Dutch Wadden Islands is almost as complicated as an international booking. Therefore, the same conditions apply for this area as for an international booking. This means, among other things, that a deposit via bank transfer is required and a minimum of a few days’ notice is required. In this blog we tell you about the possibilities in terms of booking duration and rate.

Extra travel costs for an escort booking on the Wadden Islands

A travel surcharge of €100 applies for a booking on Texel or the other Wadden Islands. From these costs, the ticket of the ferry is paid and the escort can have a drink in the departure hall or on the ferry. If the distance between the escort and the departure terminal of the ferry is more than 150 kilometers, a travel surcharge applies. This is €50 if the distance is between 150 and 200 kilometers and €100 for 200 to 250 kilometers. Longer distances are in consultation.

Minimum booking duration for your high class escort

The minimum booking rate and times at which your booking can start and end is tailored to the travel options. The minimum booking rate is usually twice the travel time so that the escort does not travel longer to and from the booking than the booking itself takes. The standard rates apply here. When calculating the travel time, we take into account traffic jams during the journey to the ferry departure terminal, waiting time and check-in time for the ferry, the ferry journey itself and any journey between the ferry arrival terminal and the location of the booking. A few examples:

The escort you have booked is from Amsterdam and your booking takes place in a hotel on Texel. The travel time from Amsterdam to the ferry terminal in Den Helder is about 90 minutes. The escort arrives 30 minutes before the departure of the ferry so that she has time to check in at the ferry. The crossing takes 30 minutes and from there it takes another 30 minutes to reach the final destination. The total travel time is 3 hours, the minimum rate is for a standard booking of 6 hours.

The escort you booked is from Rotterdam and your booking takes place in your holiday home on Ameland. The travel time from Rotterdam to the ferry terminal in Holwerd is approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes. The escort arrives 30 minutes before the departure of the ferry so that she has time to check in at the ferry. The crossing takes 60 minutes and from there it takes another 15 minutes to reach the final destination. The total travel time is 5 hours and 15 minutes, the minimum fare is this for a standard 11-hour booking. We do not offer an 11-hour package, therefore the rate for a standard 12-hour booking applies.

Start and end time of your escort booking on the Wadden Islands

Your booking can start and end at times that match the ferry timetable. If your booking does not match this, there are two options. The first possibility is that your booking will be terminated early so that the escort can still catch the last ferry. The alternative is that we book a hotel for the escort where the escort can stay until the first ferry leaves. These costs, including waiting time until departure of the ferry, are for your account. The rate for your booking is that of the booking duration which is in line with the ferry timetable, but at least the minimum booking duration based on the travel time.

The most logical choice for a booking on Texel or the other Wadden Islands is to start in the evening and end the next morning.
