Cruise the canals and waterways of European Union on one of these 27 hand-picked barge cruises by Adventure Life. For a private cruising experience, charter an entire barge for your group (usually for 6-12 guests onboard). Alternatively, join a small group of individual travelers as you float in your cozy cabin by the charming villages and panoramic scenery of European Union. With canals being European Union's original highways for freight, many of today's hotel barges are traditional working freight vessels converted into exclusive floating boutique hotels complete with gourmet cuisine, fine wine, and accompanied with activities such as cruises, barge cruising, river cruises, village visits, and food & wine. Similar to river cruises, barge cruises and hotel barges are for fewer passengers and offer a more intimate, upscale experience. Our barge cruise to European Union in 2024 range in price from $3,718 to $112,500 for voyages of 7 days. Tell us about your ideal barge experience in European Union and one of Adventure Life's European Union travel specialists can help you design the perfect, seamless trip.
