French Hotel Barge ROSA: New alternate itinerary offered

We have a new itinerary for the French Hotel Barge ROSA in southwest France that will be especially interesting to you wine lovers!


This new itinerary for Rosa, which features more of the renowned Bordeaux wine region, is on the Canal de Garonne between Castets-en-Dorthe and Boe. This route will be offered twice this summer (once in each direction) and for all departures in October 2014 (next year!). The itinerary includes a visit to Saint Emilion, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and tastings of premier cru and grand cru wines.

August 18-24: Open for private charter or cabin cruise week: VALUE SEASON
  • Cabin cruise week: $8100/cabin ($4050/person, double occupancy)

Rosa still has good availability for their standard Agen to Montauban itinerary. Inquire for dates and special offers.


Rosa's charming accommodation for eight guests features two double and two twin-bedded staterooms, all with private ensuite bathrooms, and a redesigned saloon that gives direct access onto the spacious sundeck. A cruise on Rosa is the ideal way to explore this beautiful, pastoral region of Southwest France.

The Garonne Canal, also known as the Canal des Deux Mers, links the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, passing through the region of l'Occitanie -- a veritable palette of colours and scents created by orchards and vineyards before joining the Canal du Midi. Visit historic fortified bastides, learn about the region's artists and rural culture, and cruise by picturesque old villages and quaint farms. Of course, as this cruise is near Bordeaux wine country, there will be plenty of opportunity to sample a part of France where good food and wine is a way of life.
