Hotel barging is a sophisticated yet relaxed vacation offering you the opportunity to unpack once during your stay yet see somewhere new everyday, all the while enjoying the fine accommodations aboard the barge.

When you arrive at your hotel barge you'll be greeted warmly by your English speaking crew with a traditional Champagne toast. Introductions of the crew will be made and then you'll be shown to your private cabin with ensuite facilities. Soon afterward the boat will be under way and you'll spend your first night making new friends while enjoying the first of many fabulous meals. The chefs on board pride themselves on preparing all your meals with the finest fresh local ingredients and complimenting them with excellent regional wines.

A typical day starts with a continental breakfast aboard. Soon after breakfast, the boat will start cruising and the planned daily excursion will be discussed. Every day a guided tour via private motor coach is taken to nearby places of interest. If relaxing or exploring on your own sounds more interesting, the crew will be happy to see to your comfort on the boat or share ideas of where to explore on foot or a supplied bicycle.

A hotel barging vacation allows you an intimate view of your chosen destination like no other. The atmosphere onboard is one of casual elegance. Each crew's goal is to provide the most memorable and enjoyable vacation experience anywhere. Everything is done with your comfort and enjoyment in mind.
