Oct 16.- Luxury hotel barges have become big news on Europe’s rivers and canals in recent years, and all the signs point to even more in 2014. Signs like European Waterways adding two new barges, for example.
The British-owned operator features a pair of new vessels in its just-released new brochure, the stylish 8-passenger Absoluut 2 and 6-passenger Clair de Lune. Absoluut 2 – available for exclusive charter only – will cruise through the picturesque Ouche Valley in Southern Burgundy while Clair de Lune (above) travels along the historic and spectacular Canal du Midi in southern France.
Also new for next year is a Bordeaux region itinerary aboard the popular 8-passenger hotel barge Rosa, which, along with Anjodi, featured in the hugely successful BBC TV series, Rick Stein’s “French Odyssey”.
The new 60-page, 2014 Brochure has been launched this week, together with a DVD featuring a selection of short videos that help convey the ambience of the “hotel barging experience.” For access, go to https://www.youtube.com/user/EuropeanWaterways.
