Culinary Adventures at Sea and on the River: The Best of the Small Ship Cruises
If you’ve traveled with big cruise lines in the past, it’s time to forget everything you thought you knew about cruising. And if you’ve avoided cruising because you thought it would be like traveling in a floating mall, it’s time to think again. This is something else altogether.

Have we mentioned river and canal barging yet? Worthy of its very own category, river and canal barging is the ultimate experience in the slow life. To lazy away a sunny afternoon drifting along a tree-lined canal, from the south of France to the rivers of England, there simply is no finer way to experience the culture and history of a small region within an area of the countryside. Barging in Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom give you a view of each destination “through the back door.”
From the Canal du Midi, the Loire River Valley, to the Burgundy canals, France becomes an intimate affair when barging. Food and wine so local you will find it nowhere else. There are many barges to choose from but none offer the style and panache found aboard the historical boats of The Canals of France featuring the Tango and the Fandango. We guarantee barging… it is addictive!
For your elegant luxury cruise experience, yacht or sail charter, or your casual adventure cruise, rivers or canals we can match you with the perfect vessel. Call or email for additional information on our hand-selected cruise options.
