Couples massage in Amsterdam for the night before a sailing

Two of you, one room on shore, and a departure already printed on a boarding document. This site is built around those hours: the evening before embarkation, the first evening back on land, and the turnaround day when the cases are stored and no room is yours yet.

What an evening ashore holds for two

From the line you write at the airport to the moment she lifts her bag and the room is yours again.

The booking, in order

Two of you hold one room on shore, and somewhere in the days ahead a gangway closes behind you. That is the only brief these pages work to. A couples massage in Amsterdam arranged here is fitted around that fixed hour rather than around ours, so the first question back is the departure and the second is the address.

Write once with the evening, the length you have in mind, and whether the two of you want one therapist between you or a therapist each. The answer names who is free across those hours and gives the window she can reach your district in. Across the middle of the city that window runs from forty to sixty minutes, counted from the moment the hour is settled rather than from the line you first sent.

She travels as any other visitor travels, carrying a bag that holds the oil, the towels and fresh linen. Nothing has to be found in a shop or asked of housekeeping once she is upstairs. What the room supplies is a door that locks, warm air, and somewhere for two people to lie down.

Half of the figure confirms a booking of this kind, and the balance is settled once she is in the room with you. Every amount printed on these pages already carries the tax that applies to it. Your therapist says where her own limits sit before anything begins, and those limits stand for the length of the visit.

A departure hour cannot be moved. The evening in front of it can be arranged to the minute.

From the feature, this issue

A couples massage in Amsterdam, hour by hour

One hour suits a single format taken from start to finish, and it is the booking that survives a transfer at seven the next morning. Ninety minutes is where a slow format begins to make sense for two people rather than one. Two hours leave room for a format each, or for one of them taken at half speed with a pause in the middle. Three hours and the eight hour block belong to a last night on land, when nothing is fixed again until the afternoon.

Rooms near the passenger quay and around the central station are ordinary addresses on this site, and so are the districts further from the water. A room at a Schiphol airport hotel on the day you fly in is taken by arrangement instead, with the length of her journey agreed with you before the hour is fixed. The night before embarkation is the evening most couples write about first.

Two guests sharing one therapist pay 360 euros an hour, and she works between you rather than cutting the hour in half.

Two guests with a therapist each pay 720 euros an hour, with the two sessions timed to finish within a minute of one another.

Every format, read against your shore time

Where to read next

The roster says who is on the books and which evenings are still open. The booking page sets out what belongs in the first message and in what order. The questions page takes what is left over, from luggage and day rooms to what happens when a ship docks late.
