What is a Self-Drive Barge?
A self-drive barge is your floating home away from home, allowing you to experience the European countryside at a relaxing pace that you alone decide. Typically smaller than most hotel barges, the boats have all the modern facilities needed for a comfortable vacation. You’ll find spacious living areas, cabins giving absolute privacy, showers with hot & cold running water, toilets, a fully equipped galley, and often a sundeck for watching the passing scenery. A license is not required to operate the boats, which are easy to handle, even with no previous boating experience. En route, you and your family or friends will be able to buy fresh produce and delicious baked goods at the local markets. And from Spring to Autumn, the waterways are awash with the colorful atmosphere of local festivals and music. Find out more by clicking on the Plan Your Vacation button above.
