Welcome

Cruising the European Waterways.Zwaan van Maaike after a lock Aug 09

Our cruising plan for 2012 is now on the Schedule Section, please take a look and book your chosen cruise. We leave Maastricht, Holland, in June and arrive in Central France in October. 

Charter our luxury Dutch barge, accommodating up to 4 guests, for a relaxed and informal cruise with us, on the canals and waterways of Holland, Belgium and France. 

Enjoy the delights of the European countryside with us on our spacious, comfortable, sociable and luxuriously appointed cruising barge, whilst we handle the barge, or you can help. 

Experience the scenery sprinkled with vineyards, châteaux/castles and un-spoiled villages; savour the food and fine wines, all rooted in centuries old traditions.

Choose a barge cruise with us aboard our much admired traditional Dutch Barge, with 2 guest cabins for a maximum of 4 guests & let us show you why we love to do this. 

Guests should be reasonably agile and are welcome to participate in aspects of shipboard life.

If you’ve a passion to savour what Europe has to offer then join us, because that is what we’re about, we’d love to share with you our enthusiasm for this great life.

As with all boats and barges, there are steps to access the cabin, boarding can be by steps or gang-plank, so Guests should be reasonably agile.

Guests are welcome to participate in most aspects of shipboard life (navigating the waterways, working the locks and drinking a glass of wine when we have safely moored up); to add to the enjoyment a holiday with memories to savour.

Andrew & Nickie will welcome you aboard our summer home, our beautiful Dutch Luxemotor barge of 1923 vintage.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements and travel plans.
