Overview
Have you ever thought about taking a barge cruise? Barge cruises offer a more intimate experience, with only 22 guests aboard. Relax on the sundeck with a glass of champagne or cocktail in hand, or take a dip in the onboard hot tub. These cruises often follow historic routes, built in the 18th and 19th centuries, long before canal cruises were considered leisure travel.
Travelers get the chance to explore quieter, less developed areas, passing under unique bridges, across aqueducts, and witnessing impressive engineering marvels. Barge cruises navigate smaller rivers and canals that larger vessels can’t access, gliding gently along historic, narrower waterways at a leisurely pace—no more than 4 miles per hour.
