Wining and dining is a highlight of any cruise, the table d’hôte menus on board the barge are of the very highest quality and include many regional specialities and fine wines.

Each week’s menu includes some of the chef’s original recipes as well as regional specialities and seasonal delicacies unique to the particular area of the country in which you are cruising.
