Barge cruising is a luxurious way to meander down a lazy river, exploring the European countryside. A barge is like a floating hotel that accommodates 8 to 12 people. Barge cruise food and wine are a gourmet affair, and an open bar is offered. Cruises are available in France, Ireland, Scotland, Holland, Germany, England, and Italy. Visit both small villages and large cities on a luxury barge. The price of the cruise includes three sumptuous meals a day and a private vehicle with driver to escort you on sightseeing excursions. Luxury barge cruises are typically six nights long. For an unforgettable vacation, nothing can compare to the pampering of a European barge cruise.
