CHARLEMAGNE

This unique vessel with 14 twin cabins and two suites is perfectly suited to the narrow waterways of Holland and Belgium and is one of the few such river boats which can sail into Bruges. The accommodation is of a high standard and the décor reflects the Dutch and Belgian country styles.   

Passengers can be phoned directly from the USA and they can also dial out directly as they sail. The Charlemagne is suitable for business meetings and seminars. The vessel carries quality audio-visual equipment and a sophisticated sound system, as well as fax capability.

The atmosphere is casual on board. All meals are served in the main dining room which is lined on both sides by large picture windows which allows passengers to view the passing scenery. Dinner is served in single, open seating, with excellent cuisine incorporating regional specialties.

The English-speaking staff is dedicated to quality service throughout the cruise. Traveling with such a small party of guests is a great luxury and engenders a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that is rarely found on larger vessels

Medical Since the vessel is never more than one hour from port and moors overnight - no medical facilities are available on board but can be obtained on-shore within minutes. 

Power Points The voltage throughout the vessel is 220 with European two pinned plugs. Universal adapters are available from the reception. 

Dress Dress is smart casual but a jacket is preferred for the formal receptions. Otherwise layered clothing is recommended since passengers have been surprised at the warmth of the vessel and the amount of sunshine encountered at these latitudes. 

No Smoking There are designated external areas reserved for smoking.   For safety and comfort reasons a 'non-smoking' regime exists throughout the vessel.
