For the seasoned traveler, Autumn is the perfect time of the year to enjoy some of Europe’s most popular attractions. The big crowds are gone and the countryside glows with the colorful mantle of turning leaves. The weather is ideal for sight-seeing, long bicycle rides, and just relaxing and watching the changing of the seasons from the deck of a European Waterways luxury hotel barge, where guests are pampered by an attentive crew.
European Waterways, Europe’s largest luxury hotel barge cruising company, is proud to announce the latest addition to its fleet, Absoluut2, a charter-only, deluxe 8-passenger hotel barge that cruises in Southern Burgundy between Dijon and Vandenesse. Absoluut2 was designed to exacting standards for cruising the inland waterways and canals of Europe, and is perfect for families, groups of friends, or colleagues interested in the privacy of a whole-boat charter.
Luxury hotel barge operator European Waterways offers a range of relaxing, 6-night cruises on the waterways of France, including this Summer aboard the 8-passenger Enchanté, with its spacious cabins, which are the largest of any hotel barge on the 300-year old Canal du Midi, a UNESCO world heritage site.
Summer is a special time of year when you can experience the warmer weather in one of the best possible ways: by soaking up the sun whilst lying on the deck of a luxury hotel barge being pampered by the crew as it gently drifts through some of the most beautiful scenery in Europe. To celebrate the occasion, European Waterways, Europes largest luxury hotel barge cruising company, is offering special summer rates on select cruises throughout France, Scotland, Ireland, Italy and England.

Italy is a country seemingly designed for hotel barging. The variety of charming waterways between Venice and Mantua alone promises a unique and magical cruising experience, with an itinerary which includes fascinating excursions that offer a real insight into the many cultures - Roman, Etruscan, Istrian, Byzantine and of course Renaissance - that have influenced the arts, architecture and history of the region over many centuries.
A luxury hotel barge cruise vacation is always a great experience, but one that revolves around a particular hobby or passion can be especially memorable.
