A Taste of Burgundy on La Belle Époque

Bordered by the River Loire in the west and by the Champagne region in the east, Burgundy France is most known for its superb wines. It offers visitors a mix of unspoiled countryside and historical towns. Cruising this region is the spacious hotel barge, La Belle Époque. The itinerary includes chateaux visits and a Chablis wine tasting at one of Burgundy’s distinguished wine cellars. The cruise includes a chauffeured transfer service to and from Paris.

Living the Life on L’Art de Vivre

Story Book Towns and Medieval Villages

The hotel barge Panache, which cruises the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, introduces guests to the region’s distinctive mixture of French and German architecture and cuisine. Among the many unique experiences offered by the cruise is a ride on the “boat elevator” at Arzviller, which lifts the vessel 450 feet up a mountainside. The itinerary also includes a romantic candlelit breakfast as the barge moves through two tunnels; a visit to the spectacular René Lalique Collection; and wine tastings at vineyards on the renowned Route des Vins d’Alsace.

European Waterways is offering $2,500 off per cabin on Panache and no single supplement for the July 12 and August 2 departures. Full-boat charters are also available at $15,000 for select departures in July and August.

The Land of Folklore, Battles and Distilled Whisky

The Scottish Highlander leisurely cruises the Caledonian Canal and across the famous Loch Ness with a spectacularly scenic Highlands backdrop. Its itinerary includes a visit to the medieval castles of Eilean Donan and Macbeth’s Cawdor, exploration and walks through battle fields from the 17^th and 18^th centuries, and a tour of the Glen Ord distillery, where guests can taste some wonderful malts.

European Waterways is offering $2,500 off per cabin on the Scottish Highlander for select departures in May through July. It also offers $10,000 off per full 8-passenger charter for select departures during these months.
