The eight passenger Magna Carta<\/a> is one of the finest, most luxurious vessels cruising the British Isles. Before Magna Carta<\/a> came into existence, the only way to enjoy the space and facilities of the very finest floating hotels was to take a barge vacation in France, or some of the other European rivers and canals. Magna Carta<\/a> began river cruising in 2002 and it is like a dream come true for many cruise lovers. The design and facilities provided inside this luxury barge are excellent and once you board it, it\u2019s sure to be an experience of a lifetime!<\/p>\n

The ambience created by combining a traditional barge hull (1936) and fine mahogany, teak and oak woods is outstanding. The most sophisticated modern amenities include air conditioning, under floor heating, color TV\/DVD and exceptionally spacious contemporary en-suite facilities in the four full width staterooms. The upper deck saloon and dining areas sport picture windows and stylish furnishings, and there is a Jacuzzi on the upper sun-deck. The saloon and sun decks are much larger than expected and give you the space to really relax and unwind.<\/p>\n
