European Barge Cruises
|
|
For your clients that have seen the major tourist sites and now want to experience more of Europe, and still have the comfort of every aspect of the trip taken care of, then a canal barge cruise may be for them. For clients that are not interested in a typical cruise, this is a totally different experience. The atmosphere is very relaxed, no formal nights, you are out during the day exploring, so they will never run out of activities. The similarities are unpack only once, all meals and beverages included, as well as the excursions. There are special cruises/dates for golfers, garden lovers, wine enthusiasts, and many more.
Barge cruise prices range from the mid $3000 - to
over $5000 per person. Some of the features of the barges that
distinguish the prices between barges are the cabin and lounge space,
level of food and wines provided as well as barge amenities. On the
lower priced barges, you will be looking at cabins around 90 - 100 sq
ft, compact bathrooms - usually with a shower curtain and small shower
stall. The wines will be good regional wines. The more expensive barges
will have bigger cabins - 170 - 230 sq ft with big bathrooms, big shower
stalls with a glass door. Other barge feature might include: computers
or internet access on board, tvs / vcrs in the cabins, hot tubs or
fitness rooms. On some of the ultra deluxe barges, there are wines
served for the serious wine enthusiasts - featuring premier and
grand cru.
These cruise rates include gourmet meals, wine
and cheese of the region with lunch and dinner, open bar with alcoholic
beverages and all the sightseeing. For a different experience,
some barges offer a night out at a typical French restaurant for a
meal. No matter what level of barge cruise is selected, you will
always find a great crew that will go out of their way to provide top
level service and go the extra effort to make sure you cruise is truly
memorable. The crew on board will have knowledge of the areas and
love to impart known and little known facts to interested
passengers. The food will always be top quality and prepared with
a emphasis on the combining wonderful food with special wines of the
regions. Key Benefits
