The Wadden return is a collaboration between Rederij Doeksen and Arriva. Rederij Doeksen hopes to encourage more passengers to use public transport by offering the Wadden return service. This limits, among other things, CO2 emissions and this fits in with the green goals of the company.

Passengers who want to make their shipping more sustainable book a voluntary surcharge of € 0.50. With this amount you support local CO2-reducing projects on Terschelling and Vlieland since 2021. Rederij Doeksen annually compensates for 5,000 business trips of its employees. In this way we ensure a cleaner Wadden environment together. Are you participating?
