Historic Interest & Natural Beauty

Barge & Narrowboat Cruises

France - Belgium

The age old delights of Britain, from small village pubs to mountainous lochs, are yours when you step aboard our narrowboats and barges- and you have all the time in the world to savor them.
The boats are small worlds in themselves, with private cabins, comfortable lounges, and well stocked bars. The boat crews, many of whom are the owners themselves, are friendly and take great pleasure in sharing their love of the country and its waterways with a few privileged guests each week.
The pace is slow, with time to explore or follow leisurely pursuits. Those who are energetic may help the boats through the locks or lift bridges. Simply enjoy the pleasures of the countryside that a cruise will bring to you.
