There are river cruises, then there are barge cruises. The two are worlds apart, or at least waterways apart. River cruises take place on Europe’s major waterways on vessels that typically carry from 100 to 200 guests. By contrast, barge cruises operate on small canals (you could skip a stone across many of them) and typically carry no more than two dozen guests. To say that the experiences are similar would be a quite a stretch. Sure, they both operate on water, but they are markedly different modes of transport. How so? In this post we’ll take a look at 10 reasons to choose a barge cruise.

In April of 2021, I am offering two hosted barge cruises in France, one in Burgundy, and one in Alsace. Following that, in October of 2021, we’ll be barging Burgundy with singer/songwriter David Wilcox.
Cruise with me on one or on all three!
These trips are …
- All-inclusive
- Intimate, with only 22 guests on each trip
- Interesting, with included tours in some of France’s most beautiful cities and villages
How good are these trips? They are the only trips I host and for a reason: I love barge cruising.
