Burgundy and the Canal du Midi are among the most popular destinations for multi-generational holidays on our hotel barges. However, across all our destinations each cruise offers its own, unique rewards. We’ll be happy to work with interested groups to find the best fit for them.
If you’ve already spent time on one of our hotel barges, you’ll know about the luxury, the comfort, and the service with a smile. Whether you’ve already spent a few wonderful days gliding at a leisurely place through France, Italy, Scotland or one of our other locales, you’ll have done it all in signature European Waterways fashion, with no corners cut and no effort spared in creating the perfect holiday experience.
For the opera lovers amongst you, taking one of our special Opera Cruises aboard La Bella Vita in Italy is sure to be a once in a lifetime experience. Before your cruise from Venice to Mantua begins, you will enjoy a performance of one of the best-known operas, such as Bizet’s ‘Carmen’, in the magnificent setting of the Roman amphitheatre, the Arena di Verona.
We have announced last-minute specials on some of our most popular routes and hotel barges for August and September 2015. Cruises must be booked by August 17 2015 to qualify. Each fully-crewed, 6-night cruise includes all gourmet meals prepared by the on-board chef, fine wines, an open bar, daily escorted excursions, admissions and local transfers.
Discovering some of the best parts of Europe on inland waterways is unlike anything you’ll ever have experienced before. The places and structures that are revealed to you when you decide to embark on a hotel barge cruise are stunning, authentic and often one-of-a-kind feats of engineering.
We’re sure that anyone who understands the concept of a hotel barge cruise, or has experienced one, appreciates that it is the staff on board that can make or break a barge cruise holiday. At European Waterways, our hotel barges are fully crewed with captains, hostesses, tour guides and Master Chefs. Luke Dessain is one of the latter.
