Launched in 2018, Belmond Pivoine is set to be one of the best river cruises in Europe. Soak up the scenery from the spacious deck and heated pool, or spread out and dream in one of four exquisite cabins. Explore chateaux, vineyards and breweries as you meander from La Ferte-Sous-Jouarre to Châlons-en-Champagne.
ON BOARD
Named after the peony flower, Pivoine offers the ultimate in chic design and blissful comfort, combining soft champagne tones with petal whites. Each light-filled cabin on this unique barge features a tiled en-suite bathroom and king or twin beds. The onboard dining room is perfect for a gourmet banquet. For breezy socialising, the lounge has a surround-sound stereo as well as full-width doors which open onto the generous deck for alfresco dining.
