European Biking vacation and luxury cruise
CASUAL BIKE AND BARGE CRUISES
The following barges feature a more basic level of
service: lunch and dinner on board without wine, sack lunch, crew member
to cycle with the group, no entrance fees and bicycles. These barge can be
booked as a charter or as individual passengers.
The cycling cruises listed below are for
those passengers wanting to cycle and are not looking for the open bar, wine
with meals or included sightseeing tours.
These barges include an experienced guide
who will escort the group cycling, who is familiar with the area, speaks the language and will lead you through the countryside with great enthusiasm.
You will cover a daily distance of 20 – 60 kilometers by bike,
escorted by an experienced guide, and your floating hotel will be waiting for you at your destination.
Actually, the barges cover all of Europe. We change the itineraries a little every year, so that we can always offer you something new. Most of our tours are bike & barge tours. That doesn’t mean you have to bike every day. You can always choose for a walk along the canal or for an easy chair on the sun deck.
