Discover Europe's Hidden Waterways

Boutique Barging Through Europe

Journey into the quieter corners of Europe aboard boutique hotel barges that offer a refined and immersive way to explore. With only two to twenty-two guests on board, these beautifully crafted vessels provide an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and personalised service as they glide through historic canals build in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Choose from a thoughtfully curated collection of routes, including France’s iconic Canal du Midi – one of Europe’s oldest canals and a UNESCO World Heritage site, the vineyard-rich waterways of Burgundy on L’Impressionniste or the dramatic Caledonian Canal on the Spirit of Scotland, where lochs and mist-draped highlands create unforgettable scenery.

Each day brings new pleasures from chef-prepared regional cuisine, market visits, château tours, private wine tastings and gentle cruising through landscapes untouched by large vessels. Whether exploring by bike, enjoying a sun-drenched deck or stepping into medieval towns and local villages, these journeys reveal an authentic, deeply rewarding side of Europe that few travellers experience.
