European Waterways is the largest luxury hotel barging company in Europe, offering 6-night/7-day cruises in seven countries and carrying around 2,000 passengers a year.

We have built a reputation for providing high quality barging holidays on our ‘floating boutique hotels’ to a discerning clientele in search of a truly unique experience – a far cry from narrowboating.

Founded over 35 years ago, European Waterways design, build, own and operate a private fleet of luxury vessels that have been converted from classic working Dutch barges and offer exclusive cruises in France, Scotland, England, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Italy. 

Our hotel barges accommodate between 4 and 12 passengers and are ideal for people looking for either an individual cruise with other like-minded people, or for those wanting a whole barge charter for a family or group of friends. 

European Waterways' hotel barge cruises include accommodation aboard in air-conditioned, ensuite cabins, gourmet meals, fine wines, an open bar and all excursions.

All our vessels are fully crewed with a Captain, gourmet chef, hostess and tour guide, with a private air-conditioned mini-bus taking passengers on excursions. 

We offer well-planned and interesting daily itineraries that give passengers the opportunity to visit cultural and historical places of interest, vineyards and markets in each region.

We also offer tandem cruises for larger parties and a wide selection of themed cruises, such as wine appreciation, golf and we even offer honeymoon charters on three barges. 

European Waterways was the first company to put a barge on the Upper Nivernais Canal in Burgundy, and in the "real" Loire Valley. We are also the only company with barges in Scotland and in the Venetian lagoon, as well as the first to offer an Avignon-to-Amsterdam 6 week trans-Europe cruise.
