IN BRIEF

Floating hotels

Boats, barges, motorsailers, all with comfortable cabins, dining room, outdoor deck: we like to call them floating hotels! On board, you will find a captain and crew serving guests by preparing meals, tidying up cabins, and lining up the bicycles on deck. The boats accommodate 20+ people and are a perfect solution for those seeking a relaxing, yet always on-the-go holiday.

TO KNOW

Bike and barge tours

A perfect combination trip, with easy cycling stages during the day and boat-hotel lodging for meals and overnight stays. Riverboats or motorsailers follow cyclists via river and sea, offering the option of staying on board for lazy days off the bike. Find out how a bike and barge holiday works.

Exclusive rental

Are you looking for a boat for your group to see the tulip bloom in Holland? Are you planning a summer vacation and looking for a boat for your group of friends? You can rent a whole barge for a customized itinerary. For example, charter a whole barge in Italy or France – and enjoy some of Europe’s most fabulous bikeways in the comfort of your own tribe.

On an independent trip you will also receive detailed maps and roadbooks, in hard copy or digital format, to follow the route on your own.

Vacanza stupenda. Le tappe tutte molto fattibili in paesi in cui le piste ciclabili sono ottime e tutto è piatto. La nave era stata restaurata da poco, i due accompagnatori molto gentili come tutto lo staff. Davvero una settimana speciale A wonderful holiday. All the stops were very doable, in towns with excellent bike paths and flat terrain. The ship had recently been renovated, and the two guides were very kind, as were all the staff. A truly special week.
