What ages are the people who barge?
You will find all ages on our barge selection. There is a good mix. But this certainly is not the geriatric ward. Age is not an issue here with one exception. We do not allow children under 10 except on charters. The essential thing that unites barge enthusiasts is the “close-up, personal” experience that a barge vacation provides. Older and younger travelers alike find the pace and comfort of a barge travel the ideal way to explore the real heart & soul of a country. Some barge vacationers are more active than others. Some like to take off on village walks, hill climbs or bicycles trips to nearby sites…meeting up with the boat a lock or two down the canal. Others prefer to sit on deck and enjoy the passing scenery which slowly changes before their very eyes. Barging celebrates sprit, not age. Of course most barges are not equipped for wheelchairs so there are some limitations.
