A unique way of exploring the beauty of Europe, while unpacking only once. Drifting through the beautiful landscape, enjoying all the creature comforts of regional food and wine, and service superb in every way, while experiencing the chateaux, cathedral, tours, vineyards, and sleepy villages left behind by time. History, art, architecture, culture, gastronomy, music, gardens, it is all there to be experienced by tours, whether by foot, motor coach or bicycle, with a river cruise or barge cruise.
Europeanbarging offers both barge cruises and river cruises in Europe, so that we can make sure our travelers are on the right vessel for them. We work directly with the owners of the vessels and have been on most of the vessels and have years of experience finding the right vessel for travelers. We offer unbiased recommendations based on our experience and the interests of the traveler.
