Luxury hotel barge cruising specialist, European Waterways, is offering a 30% off Black Friday special on some of the company’s most popular 6-night, all-inclusive luxury whole boat charters in France or Holland, a saving of up to €15,600 per charter (approximately AUD$25,300).

The special is the company’s biggest annual promotion and is available only for a limited time and when booked between Friday, November 29 and Tuesday, December 3, 2019. The Black Friday special cannot be combined with other offers and applies to new bookings only.

Eligible departures include:

  • March 29, 2020 aboard Panache, which cruises picturesque Holland during the famous tulip festival
  • April 5, 2020 aboard La Belle Epoque, cruising the renowned wine region of Burgundy, France
  • April 26, 2020 aboard L’Art de Vivre, which also cruises Burgundy
  • April 12, 2020 aboard Anjodi on France’s charming Canal du Midi, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the greatest constructions of the 17th century

European Waterways is also offering up to 10% off cabins and charters on a wide range of select departures throughout its fleet in Europe and the UK, valid when booked by January 6, 2020.

“Luxury barge cruising is one of the travel industry’s most exciting new trends as experiential travel grows in popularity,” said Managing Director of European Waterways, Derek Banks. “With most barges accommodating just six to twelve guests and cruising the often-unspoiled countryside, they offer a unique opportunity to become immersed in the history, architecture and cuisine of the region. Excursions take guests on a ‘voyage of discovery,’ deep into the true soul of its people and culture,” Banks continued.

“One day you can be dining with a baroness, enjoying exclusive food and wine tastings, taking private tours of fabulous chateaux, castles and royal estates – and the next you might be sitting for tea with a humble lock keeper in his canal-side home, or enjoying a private performance by local musicians,” Banks added.
