Escorted Barge Cruises

Our barges were built with you in mind. There's no sense of being 'just one of the crowd' on a barge cruise, with a small number of guests, no more than 22 on each sailing, and a dedicated and efficient crew to see to your every need. While this gives your holiday an intimate feel, as if you're sharing the experience with friends, not strangers, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little 'me' time.

Small yet perfectly formed, each barge features a terrace with loungers and a hot tub. On the deck below is the spacious restaurant and a separate lounge area, where you can enjoy a drink from the bar throughout the day and well into the evening. Your cabin is your own personal place of retreat and you can stay connected with the outside world via the on-board Wi-Fi system.

Secrets of Provence by Barge

1/Jun

Annette

“This was a lovely holiday with delicious food and wonderful service from the crew. The tours were interesting and informative and I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone who enjoys good food and wine. The only drawback was the very long journey to Sete where we met the barge but other than that it was as near perfect as possible.

“Enjoyable experience. Excellent food but too much. A buffet lunch would have been preferable.

Waterways of The Yonne, Paris and The Petite Seine by Barge

“It was a wonderful trip. Food was excellently cooked and presented. The whole crew were wonderful and did their utmost to keep us happy, surpassing their remit on many occasions. The excursions were interesting and well organised. My only gripe is that we did not have any information about what we were seeing when we sailed through the Seine.

“This was a lovely cruise, with fabulous food and wines. It was leisurely and travels on some lovely waterways. The cabins were comfortable and the lounge, dining room and outdoor deck were all delightful. The staff on the barge were very friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. My main problem was that Croisi Europe did not allocate us to the cabins we had reserved with GRJ. I feel this is an issue with Croisi which needs to be addressed for future cruises. I understand that at least one other customer in addition to my cabin choice had specific reasons for choosing their cabin with GRJ. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.
