European Waterways has launched special deals of 30% off private whole barge charters on three of its most popular cruises in France for 2021. The special is valid when booked between November 27 through December 4, 2020. Cruises are all-inclusive and include all gourmet meals, wine and liquor onboard, private wine tasting excursions and guided tours, and onboard amenities such as deck-top spa pools, and bicycles for pedalling along the level towpaths or exploring nearby villages.
“We are seeing increasing interest from multi-generational families and small groups who are looking to reconnect after months of separation due to government ‘stay-at-home’ policies,” said Derek Banks, managing director of European Waterways. “Hotel barges offer the perfect ‘travel bubbles,’ since guests can charter the entire vessel for the whole week.”
Among eligible cruises for the special are the April 11 and May 2, 2021 departures of the 8-passenger Anjodi hotel barge, a founding member of the company’s fleet. Cruising the Canal du Midi, Anjodi features a classic Dutch design and all modern conveniences. With 30% off, charters are just EU20,650, a saving of EU8,850 off the regular EU29,500 price.
The April 25 and May 9, 2021 departures of the 8-passenger Renaissance are also eligible for the Black Friday special. Ultra-deluxe Renaissance cruises the Upper Loire and Western Burgundy regions along the Canal de Briare, France’s oldest canal. With 30% off, charters are just EU36,400, a saving of EU15,600 off the regular EU52,000 price.
The third eligible vessel is La Belle Epoque. Hosting up to 12 passengers and cruising Northern Burgundy, it is offering 30% off on its April 25 and May 9, 2021 departures. Charters are just EU42,700 for these dates, a saving of EU18,300 off the regular EU61,000 price.
Book With Confidence
European Waterways’ “Book with Confidence” policy provides flexibility in rescheduling future cruises, should they be impacted by government restrictions. The health and safety of guests is a top priority, with strict protocols in place that include crew and passenger temperature checks as well as deep cleaning and disinfecting of all cabins and public surfaces on the boats.
