Our Cruise Route

The waterway on which we operate is beautiful and dramatic, rated by experienced barge travellers amongst the finest cruise routes in Europe.

Embracing both river and man-made canal, the Nivernais preserves the character of 150 years ago.

We cruise though lands where Charolais cows graze by the water's edge. Stone-built villages stand invitingly, with their painted shutters and doorways framed in roses. Centuries-old locks mark the way, a contact with a life-style where hustle knows no place.

Each day in our accompanying bus we make excursions into a historic and culturally rich region - to chateaux, market towns and vineyards. And our expert on-board guide knows this region well.

Described as 'the most beautiful and varied water route of them all', the Nivernais offers the attractions of an up-country waterway, a delight throughout its course.
