So you like to vacation on the water, but don't like big ships crowded with
strangers. You like the intimacy of self-drive cruisers, but not the
responsibility. For a floating vacation that's intimate and hassle-free, book a
European barge cruise—maybe a week-long float along the River Seine aboard
La Chouette.
Hideaways' European barging partner offers picturesque itineraries on
the waterways of Holland, England, Ireland, Scotland, and France. From the
romantic chateaux and vineyards of Burgundy, to Holland's fairytale tulips and
windmills, these chauffeured slow-boat cruises provide up-close access to
riverside villages and towns.
The European barge fleet has a wide range of sizes and styles, from a
22-passenger barge to an intimate vessel for four. Whole-boat charters can be
ideal for groups of friends or family. Couples or singles can book by the room;
honeymooners, rent a romantic boat-for-two.
