We have a long standing relationship with numerous hotel barges and
river ships that can accommodate 6 to 100 guests onboard. All have cabins
with private facilities, central heating/air conditioning and offer exceptional
service with distinctive dining. Private group charters can be arranged
on select dates for six and seven night cruises operating March to November.
Each itinerary can be customized to include such interests as biking,
walking, golf, wine, cuisine, architecture and French gardens.
Chartering your own barge maximizes your holiday enjoyment and provides
the advantage of privacy, freedom and flexibility. You have the luxury
of a private vessel with a guide and crew devoted exclusively to your
group. We will custom design the cruise exactly as you wish, adapting
the activities, excursions, and interests to your needs and desires.
Typical rates for the week range from $3,000 to $4,800 per person.
