Superyachting in the Slow Lane

Fully crewed, all inclusive luxury hotel barges operated by European Waterways cruise the inland waterways of nine European countries, along canals, rivers, lakes, lagoons and lochs, giving you the opportunity to experience life there from a truly unique perspective.


These superyacht style barges are ideal for people looking for either an individual cruise with other like-minded people, or for those choosing a whole barge charter for a family or group of friends.


We spent a week cruising aboard Renaissance.  Over the next few days we will share our experiences.


On our all-inclusive cruise, aboard Renaissance we enjoyed an intimate canal based superyacht that glided gently along the French waterways while we relaxed and enjoyed gourmet cuisine, fine wines and the company of our fellow passengers.

Our crew organised guided tours to castles, chateaux, vineyards, markets and when we returned to the barge, at the end of each one, our dedicated, professional crew where there to look after us once more.


European Waterways, have built a reputation providing luxury barge cruises to a discerning clientele in search of a truly unique experience.
