All-inclusive Hotel Barge holidays offer a unique opportunity to travel in comfort without the strains of unpacking and repacking – whilst enjoying a balanced blend of daily excursions and relaxing cruising. If you are getting a group together or celebrating a special occasion – consider chartering the whole boat. Capacity ranges from 6 to 20 passengers.

Your voyage includes accommodation, all meals aboard and ashore, champagne welcome, open bar, excursions and admittance fees, and use of bikes. Your floating hotel is furnished with modern comforts. The finest cuisine is prepared by your on-board Master Chef, complemented by a fine array of wines. And of course, the experienced and knowledgeable crew is there to provide a superb holiday experience.

Daily excursions are a highlight of all Hotel Barge cruises. They are either a short walk away from the barge, or if further by minibus. There is also time to stroll or bike along the tow-paths, assist a lock keeper, or wander into riverside villages and towns. While on board you may relax on deck (some have Spa pools) or in the saloon – reading a book, listening to music, or just admiring the landscape slowly rolling past.
