Experience Fine Food Afloat with Hotel Barge SAVOIR FAIRE

Experience fine food afloat aboard the Hotel Barge SAVOIR FAIRE, cruising both Holland and France.

Their chefs select only the freshest ingredients, creating a wide variety of dishes that guarantee to delight and surprise. The Savoir Faire continually receives rave reviews for her culinary creations.

Sure looks fabulous and according to guest comments below, it is!

"the incredible food was just perfect"

"the food was consistently delectable"

“we could find no wrong"

“exquisite food and velvet wine"

"divine meals"

“light, nutritious and delicious"

"the food was absolutely gourmet"

"without a doubt, the best food on our trip"

"If you take their average meal, which most certainly was not average in taste or presentation, and compare it to the best restaurants we went to in France, Italy and Switzerland, they win hands down in every category. I am not a "foodie" like my wife Alyson is, but I just can't seem to stop talking about their creations!”

The Hotel Barge Savoir Faire offers luxurious accommodation for 12 passengers in six well-appointed staterooms. Guests are attentively catered for by 6 English-speaking crew. Each stateroom can be configured with two twin beds or with one queen bed, and all have ensuite private bathrooms. Each guest stateroom has a DVD player with an LCD screen and 2 sets of wireless headphones. Savoir Faire is fully air conditioned (central heat, too!) and the salon, dining area, and bar are finished in mahogany, teak and brass, decorated with antiques and paintings. Two spacious decks offer magnificent views of the countryside.

The very special price for this cabin cruise week is only $2950/person, double occupancy ($5900/cabin for 2 people).

The Barge Savoir Vivre cruises along the canal de Bourgogne (Burgundy canal) between Escommes and Fleurey-sur-Ouche.

VALUE WEEKS STILL AVAILABLE

We would like to remind you of Savoir Vivre's special low rates for April 1-May 12, 2012.

The first six weeks of their 2012 charter season has the very special pricing of  $22,000 for charters of any size up to 8 guests. This equates to only $2750/person. This is a $6000 savings from their regular, 8-person rate. A very good deal, indeed.

• April 8-14: Open... BOOK NOW
• April 15-21: Open... BOOK NOW

• April 29-May 5: Open... BOOK NOW

This season Savoir Vivre is willing to open a cabin cruise week if two or more cabins are booked. If you and your friends would like to book two cabins with the possibility of sharing the barge with four other people, let us know! The price is $3500/person, double occupancy.

Savoir Vivre is a bit different to the other barges that we represent as they do not have an onboard chef. Pastries for the continental breakfast are supplied by the local baker. Lunch is catered by professional chefs who meet up with the boat with their prepared meal. Dinners are off the boat in locally selected restaurants (included in charter fee).

Savoir Vivre is 80 feet long, air conditioned (and has central heat, too), 4 identical guest cabins which can be configured with a queen or two twin beds, each having ensuite private bathrooms, flat screen TV, internet where available, 8 bicycles, etc...

SAVOIR VIVRE: Ability to live life well and with intelligent enjoyment, meeting every situation with poise, good manners, and elegance. Etymology: French, to know (how) to live.
