Come cruise with us.

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

Enjoy the delights of the European countryside with us on our spacious, comfortable, sociable and luxuriously appointed cruising barge. 

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 the much admired Zwaan van Maaike, with 2 guest cabins for a maximum of 4 guests & let us show you why we love to do this. Each booking secures the whole barge for your party and we can tailor the cruise, to fit with travel plans and preferences. 

Guests should be reasonably agile and willing to participate in most 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. We invite you to cruise with us, to join in and help with the sailing and running of the barge; if you are searching for a hotel afloat to be waited upon, then search on for a hotel barge.  

Guests should be reasonably agile and willing to participate in most aspects of shipboard life (navigating the waterways, working the locks, meal preparation, clean-up and drinking the wine when we have safely moored up); to enjoy a holiday with memories to savour.

Andrew, Nickie & Maisy (our calm and friendly brown spotted Dalmatian) will welcome you aboard our summer home, our beautiful Dutch Luxe motor barge of 1923 vintage.
