French Hotel Barge PROSPERITE: Cabin Week Cruises & Other News

The luxury crewed French Hotel Barge PROSPERITE has made changes for their Individual Cabin Cruise Booking weeks for the 2011 season.

French Hotel Barge PROSPÉRITÉ - Barging vacations in France
Barge cruises along the French canals of Southern Burgundy
Canal de Bourgogne - between Dijon and Vandenesse-en-Auxois

Prospérité is normally available for private charters only, but this season they have opened two weeks on their calendar for individual cabin cruises for a shared charter. This is a wonderful opportunity for a couple to do a barging vacation aboard a quality barge such as Prosperite.

  • July 10-16, 2011 (take part in Bastille celebrations!)
  • October 2-8, 2011
RATE:
  • $12,500/cabin (i.e. $6250/person, double occupancy)

PRIVATE CHARTERS: Prospérité is pretty well booked up for Spring & early Summer, but inquire, perhaps they are open for YOUR dates! Prospérité is currently open from June 26 through August 27, 2011. They are a very popular barge, so inquire for dates before they are all gone.

  • up to 8 guests: $39,900

A FEW COMMENTS FROM 2010:
"Just an outstanding experience - nothing about it we didn't love - the food was wonderful - Damien is a superb chef and interacted personally with us, he even taught a cooking class - Captain Spencer has a assembled a highly talented, service oriented crew who make it a delight every day - the sightseeing excursions were interesting and informative and Rejane made Burgundy come alive with her knowledge and passion.  We recommend this cruise without reservation - and we are seasoned travelers."

"A wonderful experience.  Accommodations, food and wine are memorable experiences  Captain Spencer and crew met or exceeded every need.  Wonderful people who are pleased to serve and enjoy doing it."

"I just wanted you to know what an exceptional experience we had on Prosperite.  We had high expectations of the barge, the crew, the scenery and ALL were exceeded!  Captain Spencer, Rejane, Emily, Aidita, Vincent and Damien were all exceptional hosts!”

OTHER NEWS:  Earl and Spencer are in the midst of a major upgrade to this already gorgeous barge! All of Prospérité's carpeting (upstairs and down) will be replaced, the entire vessel will be re-painted, and the bathroom facilities more modernised. In addition, all new bathroom linens will be purchased.  Last season, they purchased a brand new Mercedes minivan. These upgrades keep Prospérité in the premier rank of boutique hotel barges.
