Luxury Hotel Barge Renaissance

The Luxury Hotel Barge Renaissance has been designed to carry her guests in ultimate luxury along the Canal de Briare, France’s oldest canal and steeped in history on a cruise route that features elegant chateaux, small countryside villages and the famed wine-growing region of Sancerre.

She is a very spacious hotel barge and the beautifully-appointed saloon with its wooden beams, classic dining furniture and artworks, invokes the atmosphere of a classic French manor house. The comfortable leather sofas and hand-built bar where you can enjoy your pre-dinner aperitif, add to the feeling of onboard opulence.

The ‘Renaissance mood’ extends to the four very generously-sized twin or double bedded bedroom suites, (approx. 265sq ft including en suite), each one fully air-conditioned and complemented by a large en suite bathroom.

Outside, the large forward deck includes a covered roof extension with a circular table for alfresco dining, comfortable hardwood sun loungers and a heated spa pool.

With her refined onboard ambience, Renaissance is the perfect vessel on which to cruise a historic canal and experience the splendour of landmarks en route, including Gustav Eiffels’s aqueduct across the mighty River Loire.

Like the majority of luxury hotel barges in Europe, Renaissance operates between April and October every year. Cruises typically start on a Sunday afternoon and finish on the following Saturday morning.

With a maximum of only eight passengers onboard (four rooms) Renaissance is perfect to charter for families or friends wishing to experience France in a safe and comfortable way and to creating your own unique travel memories and experiences.
