Pour une présentation en francais, cliquez ici
All cruises in France have stopped in March and very few barges were able to resume cruising in July. All existing bookings have been postponed to 20121.
Right now, a hand full of barges are open. One of them, La Vie en Rose, cruising in Burgundy, is offering a self-catering "Freedom Cruise" which is very good value. If you never experienced hotel barging before, here is a great opportunity to step on board!
A few others are on sale, offering up to 35% discount ! If you are fortunate enough to be allowed to travel or already in France, you should grab this rare opportunity !
Yacht Roi Soleil on Canal du Midi
exotic & safe holidays for europeans
“ Ah 2020, a year of cancelled events and postponed holidays!
After much disappointment we had all but given up on getting away to celebrate my husband’s 50th but then he found Roi Soleil! With 2 teenage girls we are not really the typical clientele but the amazing crew of Nicole, Emily, Damian & Kees have pivoted brilliantly and looked after us like royalty! We have had one of of our most relaxing family holidays ever with a little adventure (kayaking and horseback riding) sprinkled in. We are most grateful for everyone’s efforts to tailor the itinerary for us." D, K, S & T.
Roi Soleil is ready to welcome you. Passenger boat distancing rules apply and present no difficulty for us as we fully exceed 4 sqm per passenger and we host only private charters of 6 passengers at most.
