Barging in France, England, Holland or Germany is the ultimate relaxing vacation. Choose your A&K barge cruise and explore Europe in an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Your barge meanders through the most idyllic scenery, with its own excellent restaurant and comfortable "country house hotel" along for the ride.
Imagine a day barging in France, cruising past lovely pastures and flowery fields, stopping at a vineyard or an old artists' town, or just taking in the sun with a good book and fine wine. Return to your barge for a gourmet dinner, more fine wine and the company of your travel companions.
Abercrombie & Kent barging holidays travel Europe's country canals, busy rivers or a combination of both. Canal trips differ from river itineraries - which is right for you?
For the most part, canal cruises emphasize relaxed, leisurely travel in country regions filled with often-overlooked sightseeing treasures. The actual miles covered on a canal trip are relatively few, with frequent opportunities for waterside activities such as towpath walking or cycling and village rambles.
River cruises cover more distance, more quickly. They too offer a relaxed on-board atmosphere, but here the emphasis shifts toward a more comprehensive itinerary in town and country, with more organized sightseeing tours away from the vessel.
All of the barges A&K features carry no more than 22 passengers per departure, and some as few as 6 or 8.
