Is this what might be called a 'barge cruise' or 'barge vacation'? |
 Many people do refer to all canal boats as 'barges' but strictly
speaking our hotel boats are all 'narrowboats'. But you can still call
it an England barge cruise or a UK barge vacation, we do know what you
mean! And you'll enjoy it just as much! |
|
What is included? |
All meals - including lavish dinners, a comfortable bedroom (available as single, double or twin bedded) with hot and cold water (most rooms have private toilets or showers), hanging space, all linen, towels and soaps. |
|
How do I decide which barge cruise to choose? |
A barge cruise is available from March to October - the
schedule gives details of all
every
barge cruise we have to offer.
If you are unsure which barge cruise would suit you best, just contact any of the operators - they will be happy to discuss the merits of various routes with you. Since accommodation is limited, the more popular
of the barge cruise fill up early, so you are advised to book soon to avoid disappointment |
|
Who will I meet on a barge cruise? |
The barge cruise holidays are suitable for singles, couples, friends, or small parties (the boats all carry fewer than ten guests at a time, but can accept whole boat charters).
The boats are all able to offer single cabins (with no single supplements), and many guests come on their own, as a wonderful way to enjoy travel with a small friendly party of people, who will quickly become firm friends.
Children can normally only be accommodated as part of a whole boat charter. Access to the boats is generally easy, but if in doubt, please ask. |
|
Will my diet be a problem? |
The chefs on the barge cruise will be only too pleased to cater for special diets, as long as they know in advance. |
|
Getting To and From the Barge Cruise? |
Most barge cruises start near rail or coach stations. Detailed joining instructions will be sent before you start your
barge cruise holiday. If you travel by car, then parking can usually be arranged for you. Some operators arrange transport direct to the boats. If in any doubt about travel arrangements, the operators will be pleased to assist you. |
|
Value for Money? |
The holiday is excellent value for money, as they are fully inclusive. The rates for each
barge cruise are shown in the list of
cruises. Once you are on the boats, there are practically no other costs involved. |
