The scenic waterways of Europe and the UK connect ancient villages, Roman fortifications and stunning vineyards. What better way to explore than on board a luxury barge cruise, uncovering true gems in the lesser visited regions.
These charmingly refurbished vessels feature hand-crafted panelling and shining brass, often with a spacious sundeck and spa pool for lazy days. Accommodating from six to eight guests, each air-conditioned state room has full ensuite facilities, while the saloon and dining room feature comfy sofas, books, music and bar, creating a convivial ambience.
By day, enjoy the scenery at a leisurely pace from the sun deck, take a walk or cycle along scenic tow paths. Each day brings a new location to explore. Stop in at local villages, castles and historic sites or, perhaps, enjoy a wine tasting. All the while, your crew, including on board chef, take care of everything else!
Book a stateroom for you and your partner/best friend or gather together a group of friends or family for a special occasion and charter the whole barge! All cruises are 7-days and include all on board meals, an open bar, transfers, excursions and entrance fees, the services of a full crew, and use of the barge facilities including bicycles and hot tub (excl. Scotland!).
With options in France, Italy, England, Scotland and Ireland, this is slow travel done well, get off-the-beaten-track in style and comfort. Contact World Journeys or your travel agent for details. www.worldjourneys.co.nz
